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.
