execute seeddms-importfs question?

[Chien Yuchuan]

Hi everyone,
I'd likd to import NAS folder to SeedDMS. But when I run as following script under terminal, and it still import the excluded specific folders and files.

SEEDDMS_HOME=/var/www/html/dms/seeddms
${SEEDDMS_HOME}/utils/seeddms-importfs --user=008135 --basefolder --foldermtime --filemtime --exclude='INSTALLFILE,.com,.exe,.~*,.dll' -e UTF-8 -d /mnt/nas/myfolder -F 1 > $HOME/importfs_1130814-3.log 2>&1 &

I review utils/importfs.php, and found that it seems '--exclude' option didn't use in the import_folder() function.Is any solution to fulfill exclude option? or is my typing error?

My system environment is as followings:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
SeedDMS: 6.0.28
php version: 8.2.22
Postgresql: 16.4

--exclude is for excluding single files. You need to pass --exclude for each file you want to exclude.

--exlude=INSTALLFILE --exclude='anotherfile'

It does not understand wildcards

Thanks for your reply.
I've try this method and retype the command as bellowings:

SEEDDMS_HOME=/var/www/html/dms/seeddms
${SEEDDMS_HOME}/utils/seeddms-importfs --user=008135 --basefolder --foldermtime --filemtime --exclude='.exe' --exclude='測試目錄' -e UTF-8 -d /mnt/nas/myfolder -F 1 > $HOME/importfs_1130814-3.log 2>&1 &

But it still didn't exclude all '.exe' file and '測試目錄' directory.
When I see 'utils/importfs.php' code, it looks like didn't judge '--exclude' options. It only exclude '.' , '..' , and '.svn' . Bellowings are import_folder() function part code:

...
$excludefiles = array('.', '..');
if(isset($options['exclude'])) {
    if(is_array($options['exclude']))
        $excludefiles = array_merge($excludefiles, $options['exclude']);
    else
        $excludefiles[] = $options['exclude'];
} else {
    $excludefiles[] = '.svn';
    $excludefiles[] = '.gitignore';
}
...
function import_folder($dirname, $folder, $setfiledate, $setfolderdate, $metadata) { /* {{{ */
    global $user, $doccount, $foldercount;

    $d = dir($dirname);
    $sequence = 1;
    while(false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
        $path = $dirname.'/'.$entry;
        if($entry != '.' && $entry != '..' && $entry != '.svn') {
            if(is_file($path)) {
            ,,,

--exclude='.exe' excludes a file named '.exe' but not a file named e.g. 'test.exe'
the exclude parameter sets a name not an extension. .svn and .gitignore are file/folder names.

[Chien Yuchuan]

Thanks a lot, I know --exclude option should be follow file /folder name.
But -exclude='測試目錄' didn't work. Did anyone know how to trace or find out where's going wrong?

[Uwe Steinmann]

I checked the code of importfs.php again and realized that --exclude isn't used at all. I'll see if I can fix that, but it will probably take some time.

[Uwe Steinmann]

Quick hack. Replace that line

if($entry != '.' && $entry != '..' && $entry != '.svn') {

with

if(!in_array($entry, $excludefiles)) {

[Chien Yuchuan]

It works, thanks a lot.
