Nick Craig-Wood 351d70f694 sync: fix directory modtimes being set twice
When syncing to a backend which supports directory modtimes, a
directory which needed its modtime updated and which had files
transferred into it would get its modtime set twice - once when the
directory was checked and once in the pass at the end of the sync.

Now, when the end of sync pass is in use (which it is for all default
syncs), directories which need their modtime (or metadata) updating
are marked for that pass instead of being updated immediately. This
halves the number of directory modtime updates in a typical sync and
makes the "Updated dirs" stat count each directory once.

Nick Craig-Wood f998f5bb99 operations: show directory operations in the --progress display
Syncs which update lots of directories (eg to sftp) could spend a long
time setting directory modification times, making directories or
removing directories with no feedback in the --progress display or
stats, making rclone appear to have hung.

This shows directory operations (setting modtime, updating metadata,
making and removing directories) in the Checking section of the stats
and counts them as checks, in the same way file deletes are shown.

Shurong CaoandNick Craig-Wood bb7c081ec5 sync: add pattern-based transfer ordering

Nick Craig-Wood 4db5b91610 sync: fix one transform test error failing all the following tests
Sync refuses to delete files when the global error stats are non-zero
so a single backend error in one transform test made every following
transform test in the same test binary fail with "not deleting files
as there were IO errors". Reset the stats at the start of each test.

Nick Craig-Wood ed60580730 sync: fix tests failing on backends that drop hashes on server side copy
ownCloud does not carry the checksum over to the destination of a
server side copy and refuses attempts to set it afterwards, so the
destination legitimately has no hash. The logger vs lsf check
compared the predicted hash against the empty hash and failed.

Treat an empty hash in the listing as unknown rather than wrong,
matching how sync itself compares hashes.

Nick Craig-Wood 9e0a5b66a4 march: fix unnecessarily listing dst directory when src listing finished
When doing a copy (no delete mode) without a logger, the destination
listing can be cancelled as soon as the source listing finishes, since
dst-only entries won't be processed.

This is particularly beneficial with --fast-list where the dst listing
may fetch the entire directory tree upfront via ListR. Cancelling it
early avoids waiting for a potentially large listing that won't be used.

Adds NoProcessDstOnly flag to March which, when set, cancels the dst
listing context once the source channel is exhausted in matchListings.

Nick Craig-Wood f60213545b sync: fix --fix-case rename on backends that need upload before overwrite
operations.NeedTransfer's equality check may have deleted pair.Dst as
a precursor to re-uploading it if SetModTime returns
ErrorCantSetModTimeWithoutDelete (e.g. Dropbox). If so skip the eager
delete of the destination if --fix-case will rename it to a different
name. The rename itself replaces the destination, and any subsequent
re-upload happens at the correctly-cased path.

Nick Craig-Wood 92058f15c4 Revert "sync: fix --fix-case rename failing on backends that can't update modtime"
This reverts commit de67f29b3f.

This solved the original Dropbox "from_lookup/not_found" failure, but
broke --fix-case on case-sensitive backends that update modtime via a
server-side copy (such as S3 on Cloudflare R2).

Nick Craig-Wood daacfb6035 sync: fix flaky transform tests with retries
The TransformFile tests in fs/sync call operations.TransformFile
immediately after MoveDir. On eventually-consistent backends the
internal NewObject lookup can momentarily fail with "object not
found", making the tests flaky.

This wraps the two operations.TransformFile calls in TestTransformFile
and TestManualTransformFile with fstest.Retry

Nick Craig-Wood de67f29b3f sync: fix --fix-case rename failing on backends that can't update modtime
When --fix-case was used (e.g. by bisync) on backends that can't set
modification times in place - such as Dropbox - files whose content
matched but whose modtimes differed would fail to rename with a
"from_lookup/not_found" error and abort the operation.

This happened because operations.NeedTransfer was called before the
fix-case rename. NeedTransfer's equality check would delete the
destination as a precursor to re-uploading it (the standard way to
update a modtime on these backends), so by the time the rename ran the
file no longer existed on the remote.

Fix by running the fix-case rename first, so that any subsequent
delete/re-upload happens at the correctly-cased destination path.

Nick Craig-Wood f191448b0d rc: flip auth default so all endpoints require auth unless opted out
Replace AuthRequired bool with NoAuth bool on the rc.Call struct and
flip the auth check logic. Previously endpoints were unauthenticated
by default and had to opt in with AuthRequired: true, which led to
security vulnerabilities when developers forgot to set the flag.

Now all endpoints require authentication by default. Only explicitly
safe read-only endpoints are marked with NoAuth: true:

nielashandNick Craig-Wood 0eb7ee2e16 sync: fix testLoggerVsLsf when backend only reads modtime
There are some backends (like PikPak) that advertise a precision of
fs.ModTimeNotSupported but do actually return a modtime when asked. In the case
of PikPak, it is because the modtime can be read but not written, and is not
considered reliable enough to use for syncing.

Before this change, testLoggerVsLsf got confused in this scenario (expected a
blank modtime but got non-blank). Adding to the confusion, it only reaches this
code if the backend happens to support md5 hashes, and the fsrc and fdst have
the same precision.

This change fixes the issue by setting the modtime string on both sides to
"none" in this scenario. Note that we can't use "" (blank) because
(operations.ListFormat).AddModTime would replace that with "2006-01-02 15:04:05".

Nick Craig-Wood 88e30eecbf march: fix deadlock when using --no-traverse - fixes #8656
This ocurred whenever there were more than 100 files in the source due
to the output channel filling up.

The fix is not to use list.NewSorter but take more care to output the
dst objects in the same order the src objects are delivered. As the
src objects are delivered sorted, no sorting is needed.

In order not to cause another deadlock, we need to send nil dst
objects which is safe since this adjusts the termination conditions
for the channels.

Thanks to @jeremy for the test script the Go tests are based on.

nielashandNick Craig-Wood 013c563293 lib/transform: add transform library and --name-transform flag
lib/transform adds the transform library, supporting advanced path name
transformations for converting and renaming files and directories by applying
prefixes, suffixes, and other alterations.

It also adds the --name-transform flag for use with sync, copy, and move.

Multiple transformations can be used in sequence, applied in the order they are
specified on the command line.

By default --name-transform will only apply to file names. The means only the leaf
file name will be transformed. However some of the transforms would be better
applied to the whole path or just directories. To choose which which part of the
file path is affected some tags can be added to the --name-transform:

file	Only transform the leaf name of files (DEFAULT)
dir	Only transform name of directories - these may appear anywhere in the path
all	Transform the entire path for files and directories

Example syntax:
--name-transform file,prefix=ABC
--name-transform dir,prefix=DEF

Nick Craig-Wood 401cf81034 build: modernize Go usage
This commit modernizes Go usage. This was done with:

go run golang.org/x/tools/gopls/internal/analysis/modernize/cmd/modernize@latest -fix -test ./...

Then files needed to be `go fmt`ed and a few comments needed to be
restored.

The modernizations include replacing

- if/else conditional assignment by a call to the built-in min or max functions added in go1.21
- sort.Slice(x, func(i, j int) bool) { return s[i] < s[j] } by a call to slices.Sort(s), added in go1.21
- interface{} by the 'any' type added in go1.18
- append([]T(nil), s...) by slices.Clone(s) or slices.Concat(s), added in go1.21
- loop around an m[k]=v map update by a call to one of the Collect, Copy, Clone, or Insert functions from the maps package, added in go1.21
- []byte(fmt.Sprintf...) by fmt.Appendf(nil, ...), added in go1.19
- append(s[:i], s[i+1]...) by slices.Delete(s, i, i+1), added in go1.21
- a 3-clause for i := 0; i < n; i++ {} loop by for i := range n {}, added in go1.22

ll3006andNick Craig-Wood c1b414e2cf sync: copy dir modtimes even when copyEmptySrcDirs is false - fixes #8317
Before, after a sync, only file modtimes were updated when not using
--copy-empty-src-dirs. This ensures modtimes are updated to match the source
folder, regardless of copyEmptySrcDir. The flag --no-update-dir-modtime

Benjamin LegrandandNick Craig-Wood 8a6fc8535d accounting: fix global error acounting
fs.CountError is called when an error is encountered. The method was
calling GlobalStats().Error(err) which incremented the error at the
global stats level. This led to calls to core/stats with group= filter
returning an error count of 0 even if errors actually occured.

This change requires the context to be provided when calling
fs.CountError. Doing so, we can retrieve the correct StatsInfo to
increment the errors from.

nielashandNick Craig-Wood 87ec26001f local: add server-side copy with xattrs on macOS (part-fix #1710)
Before this change, macOS-specific metadata was not preserved by rclone, even for
local-to-local transfers (it does not use the "user." prefix, nor is Mac metadata
limited to xattrs.) Additionally, rclone did not take advantage of APFS's native
"cloning" functionality for fast and deduplicated transfers.

After this change, local (on macOS only) supports "server-side copy" similarly to
other remotes, and achieves this by using (when possible) macOS's native APFS
"cloning", which is the same underlying mechanism deployed when a user
duplicates a file via the Finder UI. This has several advantages over the
previous behavior:

- It is extremely fast (even large files can be cloned instantly)
- It is very efficient in terms of storage, as it automatically deduplicates when
possible (i.e. so that having two identical files does not consume more storage
than having just one.) (The concept is similar to a "hard link", but subsequent
modifications will not affect the original file.)
- It preserves Mac-specific metadata to the maximum degree, including not only
xattrs but also metadata not easily settable by other methods, including Finder
and Spotlight params.

When server-side "clone" is not available (for example, on non-APFS volumes), it
falls back to server-side "copy" (still preserving metadata but using more disk
storage.) It is only used when both remotes are local (and not wrapped by other
remotes, such as crypt.) The behavior of local on non-mac systems is unchanged.

Nick Craig-Wood 10eb4742dd sync: fix creation of empty directories when --create-empty-src-dirs=false
In v1.66.0 the changes to enable metadata preservation on directories
introduced a regression, namely that empty directories were created
despite the state of the --create-empty-src-dirs flag.

This patch fixes the problem by letting the normal rclone directory
creation create the directories and fixing up their timestamps and
metadata afterwards if --create-empty-src-dirs=false.

This was caused by passing the same object as the source and
destination to the move routine, whereas the destination object had a
different case and didn't exist, so should have been passed as nil.

Some backends (like s3, swift, gcs, azureblob) don't have directories

Nick Craig-Wood 4e07a72dc7 fs: Implement --no-update-dir-modtime to disable setting modification times on dirs 2024-03-07 17:20:24 +00:00
nielashandNick Craig-Wood 8c69455c37 sync: don't set dir modtimes if already set
Before this change, directory modtimes (and metadata) were always synced from
src to dst, even if already in sync (i.e. their modtimes already matched.) This
potentially required excessive API calls, made logs noisy, and was potentially
problematic for backends that create "versions" or otherwise log activity
updates when modtime/metadata is updated.

After this change, a new DirsEqual function is added to check whether dirs are
equal based on a number of factors such as ModifyWindow and sync flags in use.
If the dirs are equal, the modtime/metadata update is skipped.

For backends that require setDirModTimeAfter, the "after" sync is performed only
for dirs that could have been changed by the sync (i.e. dirs containing files
that were created/updated.)

Note that dir metadata (other than modtime) is not currently considered by
DirsEqual, consistent with how object metadata is synced (only when objects are
unequal for reasons other than metadata).

To sync dir modtimes and metadata unconditionally (the previous behavior), use
--ignore-times.
