V2.0.9 regex filters not working on OS X

Support
#1

I’ve just downloaded the CLI version on my mac (OS X 10.13). Storage initialisation etc seems to go fine.

However, I can’t get filters to work as per the documentation at duplicacy/GUIDE.md at master · gilbertchen/duplicacy · GitHub

I’m editing .duplicacy/filters directly, and running the backup command with -debug. Wildcard matching works fine. For example a filters file containing only the line

+Documents/

matches all subfolders under Documents.

However, regular expression matching does not seem to work. A filters file containing only the line

i:.*

Results in everything in the repository being excluded.

Example output as follows:


Indexing /Users/nathan

Pattern: +i:.*

Did you have an extra + for the pattern? The correct one should be i:.*.

#3

No extra plus sign in the filters file. The log output lists it though, I assume the plus sign is just in the log output.

#4

I forgot that the regex support was merged after version 2.0.9 has been released. You need to build from the latest source to make it work.

#5

Ok that makes sense. Just built from source and regex filters work as expected. Thanks!

Interestingly I haven’t yet installed Xcode (although I do have xcode command line tools installed), just ran the command go get -u github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/… from the wiki, and keychain seems to be working on OS X 10.13.

#6

What is actually needed is the Xcode command line tools – github.com/gilbertchen/keyring requires cgo to compile.
