The ioutil functions are deprecated since Go 1.17 and only wrap another
library function. Thus directly call the underlying function.
This commit only mechanically replaces the function calls.
Because there is no guarantee that a cleanup of these directories will occur
after the "restic check", we extend the behavior to detect and manage these
specific cache directories and allow their cleanup too.
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.
Sometimes, users run restic without retaining the local cache
directories. This was reported several times in the past.
Restic will now print a message whenever a new cache directory is
created from scratch (i.e. it did not exist before), so users have a
chance to recognize when the cache is not kept between different runs of
restic.
- be explicit when discarding returned errors from .Close(), etc.
- remove named return values from funcs when naked return not used
- fix some "err" shadowing when redeclaration not needed
Windows, and to a lesser extent OS X, don't conform to XDG and have
their own preferred locations for caches.
On Windows, use %LOCALAPPDATA%/restic (i.e., ~/AppData/Local/restic). I
can't find authoritative documentation from Microsoft recommending
specifically which of %APPDATA%, %LOCALAPPDATA%, and %TEMP% should be
used for caches, but %LOCALAPPDATA% is where browsers store their
caches, so it seems like a good fit.
On OS X, use ~/Library/Caches/restic, which is recommended by the Apple
documentation. They do suggest using the application "bundle identifier"
as the base folder name, but restic doesn't have one, so I just used
"restic".
This commit adds code to synchronize downloading files to the cache.
Before, requests that came in for files currently downloading would fail
because the file was not completed in the cache. Now, the code waits
until the download is completed.
Closes #1278
This commits adds rudimentary support for a cache directory, enabled by
default. The cache directory is created if it does not exist. The cache
is used if there's anything in it, newly created snapshot and index
files are written to the cache automatically.
