When extsort.Strings() cannot create temporary files (e.g. due to
apparmor restrictions or permission denied), it returns a nil sorter
with the error on errChan. The code then called Sort() on the nil
sorter, causing a panic.
Check for nil sorter and return the error instead of panicking.
Fixes#9244
Before this change, rclone had to load an entire directory into RAM in
order to sort it so it could be synced.
With directories with millions of entries, this used too much memory.
This fixes the probem by using an on disk sort when there are more
than --list-cutoff entries in a directory.
Fixes#7974
This involved adding the Fs() method to DirEntry as it is needed in
the metadata mapper.
Unspecialised fs.Dir objects will return a new fs.Unknown from their
Fs() methods as they are not specific to any given Fs.
This is possible now that we no longer support go1.12 and brings
rclone into line with standard practices in the Go world.
This also removes errors.New and errors.Errorf from lib/errors and
prefers the stdlib errors package over lib/errors.
- Change rclone/fs interfaces to accept context.Context
- Update interface implementations to use context.Context
- Change top level usage to propagate context to lover level functions
Context propagation is needed for stopping transfers and passing other
request-scoped values.
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.
