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
If you are using rclone a library you can decide to use the rclone
config file system or not by calling
configfile.LoadConfig(ctx)
If you don't you will need to set `config.Data` to an implementation
of `config.Storage`.
Other changes
- change interface of config.FileGet to remove unused default
- remove MustValue from config.Storage interface
- change GetValue to return string or bool like elsewhere in rclone
- implement a default config file system which panics with helpful error
- implement getWithDefault to replace the removed MustValue
- don't embed goconfig.ConfigFile so we can change the methods
This adds a context.Context parameter to NewFs and related calls.
This is necessary as part of reading config from the context -
backends need to be able to read the global config.
Before this change, when the above backends created a new backend they
didn't put it into the backend cache.
This meant that rc commands acting on those backends did not work.
This was fixed by making sure the backends use the backend cache.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-rc-backend-command-not-working-as-expected/18834
- 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.
Use the same function to join the root paths for the wrapping remotes
alias, cache and crypt.
The new function fspath.JoinRootPath is equivalent to path.Join, but if
the first non empty element starts with "//", this is preserved to allow
Windows network path to be used in these remotes.
This unifies the 3 methods of reading config
* command line
* environment variable
* config file
And allows them all to be configured in all places. This is done by
making the []fs.Option in the backend registration be the master
source of what the backend options are.
The backend changes are:
* Use the new configmap.Mapper parameter
* Use configstruct to parse it into an Options struct
* Add all config to []fs.Option including defaults and help
* Remove all uses of pflag
* Remove all uses of config.FileGet
