There was no easy way to automatically test the end-to-end functionality
of commands, flags, environment variables etc.
The need for end-to-end testing was highlighted by the issues fixed
in #5341. There was no automated test to continually verify current
behaviour, nor a framework to quickly test the correctness of the fixes.
This change adds an end-to-end testing framework in the cmdtest folder.
It has some simple examples in func TestCmdTest in cmdtest_test.go. The
tests should be readable by anybody familiar with rclone and look like
this:
// Test the rclone version command with debug logging (-vv)
out, err = rclone("version", "-vv")
if assert.NoError(t, err) {
assert.Contains(t, out, "rclone v")
assert.Contains(t, out, "os/version:")
assert.Contains(t, out, " DEBUG : ")
}
The end-to-end tests are executed just like the Go unit tests, that is:
go test ./cmdtest -v
The change also contains a thorough test of environment variables in
environment_test.go.
Thanks to @ncw for encouragement and introduction to the TestMain trick.
Some environment variables didn’t behave like their corresponding
command line flags. The affected flags were --stats, --log-level,
--separator, --multi-tread-streams, --rc-addr, --rc-user and --rc-pass.
Example:
RCLONE_STATS='10s'
rclone check remote: remote: --progress
# Expected: rclone check remote: remote: --progress –-stats=10s
# Actual: rclone check remote: remote: --progress
Remote specific options set by environment variables was overruled by
less specific backend options set by environment variables. Example:
RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_TRASH='false'
RCLONE_CONFIG_MYDRIVE_USE_TRASH='true'
rclone deletefile myDrive:my-test-file
# Expected: my-test-file is recoverable in the trash folder
# Actual: my-test-file is permanently deleted (not recoverable)
Backend specific options set by environment variables was overruled by
general backend options set by environment variables. Example:
RCLONE_SKIP_LINKS='true'
RCLONE_LOCAL_SKIP_LINKS='false'
rclone lsd local:
# Expected result: Warnings when symlinks are skipped
# Actual result: No warnings when symlinks are skipped
# That is RCLONE_SKIP_LINKS takes precedence
The above issues have been fixed.
The debug logging (-vv) has been enhanced to show when flags are set by
environment variables.
The documentation has been enhanced with details on the precedence of
configuration options.

Includes adding support for additional size input suffix Mi and MiB, treated equivalent to M.
Extends binary suffix output with letter i, e.g. Ki and Mi.
Centralizes creation of bit/byte unit strings.
Restructuring of config code in v1.55 resulted in config
file being loaded early at process startup. If configuration
file is encrypted this means user will need to supply the password,
even when running commands that does not use config.
This also lead to an issue where mount with --deamon failed to
decrypt the config file when it had to prompt user for passord.
Fixes#5236Fixes#5228
Use %AppData% as primary default for configuration file on Windows,
which is more in line with Windows standards, while existing default
of using home directory is more Unix standards - though that made rclone
more consistent accross different OS.
Fixes#4667
This commit makes the previously statically configured fs cache configurable.
It introduces two parameters `--fs-cache-expire-duration` and
`--fs-cache-expire-interval` to control the caching of the items.
It also adds new interfaces to lib/cache to set these.
Backends for which additional config is detected (in the config string
or on the command line or as environment variables) will gain a suffix
`{XXXXX}` where `XXXX` is a base64 encoded md5hash of the config
string.
This fixes backend caching with config string remotes.
This much requested feature now works properly:
rclone copy -vv drive,shared_with_me:file.txt drive:
This is implemented as a state machine parser so it can emit sensible
error messages.
It does not use the connection strings elsewhere in rclone yet - see
subsequent commits.
An optional fuzzer is implemented for the Parse function.
This includes an HDFS docker image to use with the integration tests.

Adds a flag, --progress-terminal-title, that when used with --progress,
will print the string `ETA: %s` to the terminal title.
This also adds WriteTerminalTitle to lib/terminal
If your filenames contain two near-identical Unicode characters,
rclone will normalize these, making them identical. This flag
gives you the ability to keep them unique. This might
create unintended side effects, such as duplicating files that
contain certain Unicode characters, when downloading them from
certain cloud providers to a macOS filesystem.
Fixes#4228
This allows rclone to exit with a non-zero return code if no files are
transferred. This is useful when calling rclone as part of a workflow/script
pipeline as it allows the end user to stop processing if no files have been
transferred.
NB: Enabling this option will return in rclone exiting non-zero if there are no
transfers. Depending on how your're currently using rclone in your scripts,
this may break existing setups!
--files-from parses input files by ignoring comments starting with # and ;
and stripping whitespace from start and end of strings.
The --files-from-raw flag was added that reads every line from the file ignoring
comment characters and not stripping whitespace while maintaining
backwards compatibility.
Fixes#3762
This commit adds the `--track-renames-strategy` flag which allows the
user to choose the strategy for tracking renames when using the
`--track-renames` flag.
This can be "hash" or "modtime" or both currently.
This, when used with `--track-renames-strategy modtime` enables
support for tracking renames in encrypted remotes.
Fixes#3696Fixes#2721
This gives you more control over how long rclone will run for, making
it easier to script backups, e.g. via cron. Once the `--max-duration`
time limit is reached, no new transfers will be initiated, but those
already in-flight will be allowed to complete.
Fixes#985
Before this change the expect/continue timeout was set to
--conntimeout which was 60s by default which is too long to wait.
This was noticed when using s3 with a proxy which apparently didn't
support expect / continue properly.
Set --expect-continue-timeout 0 to disable expect/continue.
Before this change --update would transfer any file which was newer
than the destination regardless of whether it had changed or not.
This is needlessly wasteful of bandwidth.
After this change --update will only transfer files if they are newer
**and** they are different (checked with checksum and size).
It's likely a mistake to use `--use-server-modtime` if you're not also using `--update`. It might even make sense to emit a warning in the code when doing this, but for now, I made it more clear in the docs.
I also clarified how `--use-server-modtime` can be useful in the `--update` section.
