What is the problem you are having with rclone?
When an 'rclone rc' command is sent the server error response can't be parsed. Right now it writes something like this so stderr:
Invalid method:
2023/09/19 09:46:02 Failed to rc: failed to read rc response: 404 Not Found: {
"error": "couldn't find method \"cause/error\"",
"input": {},
"path": "cause/error",
"status": 404
}
09/19 09:46:02 ERROR : rc: "cause/error": error: couldn't find method "cause/error"
Missing section:
2023/09/19 09:57:38 Failed to rc: failed to read rc response: 500 Internal Server Error: {
"error": "didn't find section in config file",
"input": {
"fs": "SOURCE:/docker/",
"mountPoint": "/tmp/src"
},
"path": "mount/mount",
"status": 500
}
on in config file
It would be good to be able to actually parse the JSON error, maybe a flag we could set. We know the command failed (exit code), the stderr could be let as is for logging or something, but the actual json response could be send to stdout so we can parse it and know what happened. That way we could do something like:
OUTPUT=$(rclone rc command/with_error 2> /log_or_dev_null)
EXIT_CODE=$?
if [ $EXIT_CODE -ne 0 ]; then
error_message=$(**get error field from json output**)
** pretty show error **
else
** do something with valid response **
fi
Maybe even make non-server errors also create a parsable response as well, like if the server is not running:
send to stderr (what is sending now):
2023/09/19 10:17:55 Failed to rc: connection failed: Post "http://localhost:5572/cause/error": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:5572: connect: connection refused
send to stdout:
{
"error": "connection refused to http://localhost:5572",
"input": {},
"path": "cause/error",
"status": 500
}
