- Fix follow_symlinks parameter being ignored in is_dir(), is_file()
- Change from realpath() to abspath() to preserve symlinks
- Add separate caches for stat() and lstat() results
- Remove incorrect follow_symlinks param from is_symlink()
- Add comprehensive docstring explaining purpose and design
When follow_symlinks=False, methods now correctly return False for
symlinks instead of following them. Previously all symlinks were
resolved, breaking symlink-aware backup operations.
Fixes#8
Adds 7 new tests in TestErrorRecovery class covering:
- Hardlink failure cleanup (incomplete backup removal)
- Rsync failure cleanup
- Detection of incomplete backups without marker files
- Lock handling after backup failures
- Permission error handling during cleanup
Tests verify that failed backups are properly cleaned up and don't interfere
with subsequent backup operations or lock management.
Tests --external-rsync and --external-hardlink flags with conditional
execution based on tool availability. Verifies external tools correctly
sync files and preserve hardlinks for unchanged files.
Verify that timestamps, permissions, and ownership are correctly
preserved when copying files, directories, and symlinks. Tests account
for filesystem behavior where reading a file updates its atime by
capturing source timestamps before the copy operation.
Tests cover week 53 year transitions, same week numbers across years,
and late December dates in week 1 of next year. Discovered bug #33
where weekly retention compares only week number without ISO year,
causing backups 1 year apart to be incorrectly deduplicated.
Add test_combined_retention_policies to verify all 5 retention policies
(keep_all, keep_daily, keep_weekly, keep_monthly, keep_yearly) work
correctly together. Test validates precedence rules where later retention
tiers can override earlier ones (e.g., monthly overrides weekly, yearly
overrides monthly) and documents threshold inclusive behavior.
Test uses 36 backups spanning 2017-2021 with expected 21 backups kept
based on policy interaction.
Move all rsync-related tests (44 tests) from test_fs.py to new
test_rsync.py module for better organization:
- TestRsync (14 tests)
- TestRsyncBasic (5 tests)
- TestParseRsyncOutput (17 tests)
- TestRsyncExt (8 tests)
Extract shared helper functions to conftest.py to eliminate duplication:
- create_file(), create_dir(), relpath()
- check_identical_file()
- common_fs_dirs fixture
This improves test organization and maintainability by grouping related
tests and removing code duplication between test modules.
Initialize file descriptors to None before opening to prevent
UnboundLocalError in the finally block if file opening fails.
Changes:
- Initialize fin = None and fout = None at function start
- Check if descriptors are not None before closing
- Remove UnboundLocalError from exception handling (no longer needed)
This improves code quality by eliminating the need to catch an error
that indicates a logic bug. The existing tests verify correct behavior.
Fixes#6
Replace custom version management with setuptools_scm to eliminate
source file modifications during installation. Version is now derived
from git tags at build time without writing to tracked files.
Changes:
- Add pyproject.toml with full project metadata
- Simplify setup.py to minimal backwards-compatible shim
- Remove curateipsum/_version.py from version control
- Add _version.py to .gitignore (auto-generated at build time)
- Use PEP 440 compliant version strings
Fixes#18
