What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Trying to run Rclone on an Electron app.
I start the RC server alongside Electron, however when I tried to copy a folder I got an error that it was unable to locate my credentials.json for my service account.
FYI I'm a complete beginner when it comes to coding (Only done some stuff on Python), Electron and JS, so maybe my approach here is completely wrong 
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.56.2
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 2009 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.19044.1526 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.16.8
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: cmount
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Drive
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone rcd --rc-no-auth
rclone rc sync/copy srcFs="remote:/Test" dstFs="E:/rclone/Test" createEmptySrcDirs=True
All these commands are run from the Main process of Electron however
import { execFile } from 'child_process';
execFile(
rcloneExe, // The path to the local rclone.exe, defined previously
['rcd', '--rc-no-auth', '-vv'],
(error, stdout, stderr) => {
if (error) {
throw error;
}
console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
}
);
// A handle that I can call on Electron's renderer process later on
ipcMain.handle('rclone-test', async () => {
execFile(
rcloneExe,
[
'rc',
'sync/copy',
'srcFs=remote:/Test',
'dstFs=E:/rclone/Test',
'createEmptySrcDirs=True',
],
(error, stdout, stderr) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
throw error;
}
}
);
});
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[remote]
type = drive
client_id = *
scope = drive
client_secret = *
token = *
root_folder_id =
team_drive = *
service_account_file = credentials.json // Located right next to the exe and this config
[remote-crypt]
type = crypt
remote = remote:
directory_name_encryption = false
password = *
password2 = *
A log from the command with the -vv flag
