Many instances of errors.Wrap in this package would produce messages
like "Open: open <filename>: no such file or directory"; those now omit
the first "Open:" (or "Stat:", or "MkdirAll"). The function readVersion
now appends its own name to the error message, rather than the function
that failed, to make it easier to spot. Other function names (e.g.,
Load) are already added further up in the call chain.
The archiver first called the Select function for a path before checking
whether the Lstat on that path actually worked. The RejectFuncs in
exclude.go worked around this by checking whether they received a nil
os.FileInfo. Checking first is more obvious and requires less code.
This removes the requirement on `restic self-update --output` to point
to a path of an existing file, to overwrite. In case the specified
path does exist we still want to verify that it's a regular file,
rather than a directory or a device, which gets overwritten.
We also want to verify that a path to a new file exists within an
existing directory. The alternative being running into that issue
after the actual download, etc has completed.
While at it I also replace `errors.Errorf` with the more appropriately
verbose `errors.Fatalf`.
Resolves #2491
As an alternative to -r, this allows to read the repository URL
from a file in order to prevent certain types of information leaks,
especially for URLs containing credentials.
Fixes #1458, fixes #2900.
When the backup is interrupted for some reason while the scanner is
still active this could lead to a deadlock. Interruptions are triggered
by canceling the context object used by both the backup progress UI and
the scanner. It is possible that a context is canceled between the
respective check in the scanner and it calling the `ReportTotal` method
of the UI. The latter method sends a message to the UI goroutine.
However, a canceled context will also stop that goroutine, which can
cause the channel send operation to block indefinitely.
This is resolved by adding a `closed` channel which is closed once the
UI goroutine is stopped and serves as an escape hatch for reported UI
updates.
This change covers not just the ReportTotal method but all potentially
affected methods of the progress UI implementation.
Makes the following corrections to the "Applying Policy:" output:
- keep the last 1 snapshots snapshots => keep 1 latest snapshots
- keep the last 1 snapshots, 3 hourly, 5 yearly snapshots => keep 1 latest, 3 hourly, 5 yearly snapshots
