At a high level, this is what I've done and why:
- I'm moving the protobuf generation for the `protocol`, `discovery` and
`db` packages to the modern alternatives, and using `buf` to generate
because it's nice and simple.
- After trying various approaches on how to integrate the new types with
the existing code, I opted for splitting off our own data model types
from the on-the-wire generated types. This means we can have a
`FileInfo` type with nicer ergonomics and lots of methods, while the
protobuf generated type stays clean and close to the wire protocol. It
does mean copying between the two when required, which certainly adds a
small amount of inefficiency. If we want to walk this back in the future
and use the raw generated type throughout, that's possible, this however
makes the refactor smaller (!) as it doesn't change everything about the
type for everyone at the same time.
- I have simply removed in cold blood a significant number of old
database migrations. These depended on previous generations of generated
messages of various kinds and were annoying to support in the new
fashion. The oldest supported database version now is the one from
Syncthing 1.9.0 from Sep 7, 2020.
- I changed config structs to be regular manually defined structs.
For the sake of discussion, some things I tried that turned out not to
work...
### Embedding / wrapping
Embedding the protobuf generated structs in our existing types as a data
container and keeping our methods and stuff:
```
package protocol
type FileInfo struct {
*generated.FileInfo
}
```
This generates a lot of problems because the internal shape of the
generated struct is quite different (different names, different types,
more pointers), because initializing it doesn't work like you'd expect
(i.e., you end up with an embedded nil pointer and a panic), and because
the types of child types don't get wrapped. That is, even if we also
have a similar wrapper around a `Vector`, that's not the type you get
when accessing `someFileInfo.Version`, you get the `*generated.Vector`
that doesn't have methods, etc.
### Aliasing
```
package protocol
type FileInfo = generated.FileInfo
```
Doesn't help because you can't attach methods to it, plus all the above.
### Generating the types into the target package like we do now and
attaching methods
This fails because of the different shape of the generated type (as in
the embedding case above) plus the generated struct already has a bunch
of methods that we can't necessarily override properly (like `String()`
and a bunch of getters).
### Methods to functions
I considered just moving all the methods we attach to functions in a
specific package, so that for example
```
package protocol
func (f FileInfo) Equal(other FileInfo) bool
```
would become
```
package fileinfos
func Equal(a, b *generated.FileInfo) bool
```
and this would mostly work, but becomes quite verbose and cumbersome,
and somewhat limits discoverability (you can't see what methods are
available on the type in auto completions, etc). In the end I did this
in some cases, like in the database layer where a lot of things like
`func (fv *FileVersion) IsEmpty() bool` becomes `func fvIsEmpty(fv
*generated.FileVersion)` because they were anyway just internal methods.
Fixes#8247
This improves the ignore handling so that directories can be fully
ignored (skipped in the watcher) in more cases. Specifically, where the
previous rule was that any complex `!`-pattern would disable skipping
directories, the new rule is that only matches on patterns *after* such
a `!`-pattern disable skipping. That is, the following now does the
intuitive thing:
```
/foo
/bar
!whatever
*
```
- `/foo/**` and `/bar/**` are completely skipped, since there is no
chance anything underneath them could ever be not-ignored
- `!whatever` toggles the "can't skip directories any more" flag
- Anything that matches `*` can't skip directories, because it's
possible we can have `whatever` match something deeper.
To enable this, some refactoring was necessary:
- The "can skip dirs" flag is now a property of the match result, not of
the pattern set as a whole.
- That meant returning a boolean is not good enough, we need to actually
return the entire `Result` (or, like, two booleans but that seemed
uglier and more annoying to use)
- `ShouldIgnore(string) boolean` went away with
`Match(string).IsIgnored()` being the obvious replacement (API
simplification!)
- The watcher then needed to import the `ignore` package (for the
`Result` type), but `fs` imports the watcher and `ignore` imports `fs`.
That's a cycle, so I broke out `Result` into a package of its own so
that it can be safely imported everywhere in things like `type Matcher
interface { Match(string) result.Result }`. There's a fair amount of
stuttering in `result.Result` and maybe we should go with something like
`ignoreresult.R` or so, leaving this open for discussion.
Tests refactored to suit, I think this change is in fact quite well
covered by the existing ones...
Also some noise because a few of the changed files were quite old and
got the `gofumpt` treatment by my editor. Sorry not sorry.

This fixes various test issues with Go 1.20.
- Most tests rewritten to use fakefs where possible
- Some tests that were already skipped, or dubious (invasive,
unmaintainable, unclear what they even tested) have been removed
- Some actual code rewritten to better support testing in fakefs

all: Add package runtimeos for runtime.GOOS comparisons
I grew tired of hand written string comparisons. This adds generated
constants for the GOOS values, and predefined Is$OS constants that can
be iffed on. In a couple of places I rewrote trivial switch:es to if:s,
and added Illumos where we checked for Solaris (because they are
effectively the same, and if we're going to target one of them that
would be Illumos...).
This adds support for syncing ownership on Unixes and on Windows. The
scanner always picks up ownership information, but it is not applied
unless the new folder option "Sync Ownership" is set.
Ownership data is stored in a new FileInfo field called "platform data". This
is intended to hold further platform-specific data in the future
(specifically, extended attributes), which is why the whole design is a
bit overkill for just ownership.
This commit replaces `os.MkdirTemp` with `t.TempDir` in tests. The
directory created by `t.TempDir` is automatically removed when the test
and all its subtests complete.
Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using `os.MkdirTemp`
needs to be removed manually by calling `os.RemoveAll`, which is omitted
in some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g.
defer func() {
if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
}
is also tedious, but `t.TempDir` handles this for us nicely.

With this change we emulate a case sensitive filesystem on top of
insensitive filesystems. This means we correctly pick up case-only renames
and throw a case conflict error when there would be multiple files differing
only in case.
This safety check has a small performance hit (about 20% more filesystem
operations when scanning for changes). The new advanced folder option
`caseSensitiveFS` can be used to disable the safety checks, retaining the
previous behavior on systems known to be fully case sensitive.

- In the few places where we wrap errors, use the new Go 1.13 "%w"
construction instead of %s or %v.
- Where we create errors with constant strings, consistently use
errors.New and not fmt.Errorf.
- Remove capitalization from errors in the few places where we had that.
Adds a receive only folder type that does not send changes, and where the user can optionally revert local changes. Also changes some of the icons to make the three folder types distinguishable.
We have the invalid bit to indicate that a file isn't good. That's enough for remote devices. For ourselves, it would be good to know sometimes why the file isn't good - because it's an unsupported type, because it matches an ignore pattern, or because we detected the data is bad and we need to rescan it.
Or, and this is the main future reason for the PR, because it's a change detected on a receive only device. We will want something like the invalid flag for those changes, but marking them as invalid today means the scanner will rehash them. Hence something more fine grained is required.
This introduces a LocalFlags fields to the FileInfo where we can stash things that we care about locally. For example,
FlagLocalUnsupported = 1 << 0 // The kind is unsupported, e.g. symlinks on Windows
FlagLocalIgnored = 1 << 1 // Matches local ignore patterns
FlagLocalMustRescan = 1 << 2 // Doesn't match content on disk, must be rechecked fully
The LocalFlags fields isn't sent over the wire; instead the Invalid attribute is calculated based on the flags at index sending time. It's on the FileInfo anyway because that's what we serialize to database etc.
The actual Invalid flag should after this just be considered when building the global state and figuring out availability for remote devices. It is not used for local file index entries.
When scanner.Walk detects a change, it now returns the new file info as well as the old file info. It also finds deleted and ignored files while scanning.
Also directory deletions are now always committed to db after their children to prevent temporary failure on remote due to non-empty directory.
It turns out that ZFS doesn't do any normalization when storing files,
but does do normalization "as part of any comparison process".
In practice, this seems to mean that if you LStat a normalized filename,
ZFS will return the FileInfo for the un-normalized version of that
filename.
This meant that our test to see whether a separate file with a
normalized version of the filename already exists was failing, as we
were detecting the same file.
The fix is to use os.SameFile, to see whether we're getting the same
FileInfo from the normalized and un-normalized versions of the same
filename.
One complication is that ZFS also seems to apply its magic to os.Rename,
meaning that we can't use it to rename an un-normalized file to its
normalized filename. Instead we have to move via a temporary object. If
the move to the temporary object fails, that's OK, we can skip it and
move on. If the move from the temporary object fails however, I'm not
sure of the best approach: the current one is to leave the temporary
file name as-is, and get Syncthing to syncronize it, so at least we
don't lose the file. I'm not sure if there are any implications of this
however.
As part of reworking normalizePath, I spotted that it appeared to be
returning the wrong thing: the doc and the surrounding code expecting it
to return the normalized filename, but it was returning the
un-normalized one. I fixed this, but it seems suspicious that, if the
previous behaviour was incorrect, noone ever ran afoul of it. Maybe all
filesystems will do some searching and give you a normalized filename if
you request an unnormalized one.
As part of this, I found that TestNormalization was broken: it was
passing, when in fact one of the files it should have verified was
present was missing. Maybe this was related to the above issue with
normalizePath's return value, I'm not sure. Fixed en route.
Kindly tested by @khinsen on the forum, and it appears to work.

This solves the erratic test failures on model.TestIgnores by ensuring
that the ignore patterns are reloaded even in the face of unchanged
timestamps.

The folder already knew how to stop properly, but the fs.Walk() didn't
and can potentially take a very long time. This adds context support to
Walk and the underlying scanning stuff, and passes in an appropriate
context from above. The stop channel in model.folder is replaced with a
context for this purpose.
To test I added an infiniteFS that represents a large amount of data
(not actually infinite, but close) and verify that walking it is
properly stopped. For that to be implemented smoothly I moved out the
Walk function to it's own type, as typically the implementer of a new
filesystem type might not need or want to reimplement Walk.
It's somewhat tricky to test that this actually works properly on the
actual sendReceiveFolder and so on, as those are started from inside the
model and the filesystem isn't easily pluggable etc. Instead I've tested
that part manually by adding a huge folder and verifying that pause,
resume and reconfig do the right things by looking at debug output.

One more step on the path of the great refactoring. Touches rwfolder a
little bit since it uses the Lstat from fs as well, but mostly this is
just on the scanner as rwfolder is scheduled for a later refactor.
There are a couple of usages of fs.DefaultFilesystem that will in the
end become a filesystem injected from the top, but that comes later.

Adds a unit test to ensure we don't scan symlinks on Windows. For the
rwfolder, trusts that the logic in the invalid check is correct and that
the check is actually called from the need loop.

After this change,
- Symlinks on Windows are always unsupported. Sorry.
- Symlinks are always enabled on other platforms. They are just a small
file like anything else. There is no need to special case them. If you
don't want to sync some symlinks, ignore them.
- The protocol doesn't differentiate between different "types" of
symlinks. If that distinction ever does become relevant the individual
devices can figure it out by looking at the destination when they
create the link.
It's backwards compatible in that all the old symlink types are still
understood to be symlinks, and the new SYMLINK type is equivalent to the
old SYMLINK_UNKNOWN which was always a valid way to do it.
