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.
See pull request #5341 for more information.
The message now includes the flag name to help the user work out what
is happening.
Invalid value for environment variable "RCLONE_VERSION" when setting default
for --version: strconv.ParseBool: parsing "yes": invalid syntax
Before this change
RCLONE_DRIVE_CHUNK_SIZE=111M rclone help flags | grep drive-chunk-size
Would show the default value, not the setting of RCLONE_DRIVE_CHUNK_SIZE
as the non backend flags do.
This change makes it work as expected by setting the default of the
option to the environment variable.
Fixes#4659
Before this fix, attempting to set a non top level environment
variable would fail with "Couldn't find flag".
This fixes it by passing in the flags that the env var is being set
from.
Fixes#3615
The purpose of this is to make it easier to maintain and eventually to
allow the rclone backends to be re-used in other projects without
having to use the rclone configuration system.
The new code layout is documented in CONTRIBUTING.
