terrible luck with tests... lets try that again.

what looks better?

ipfs unix read
ipfs unix write
ipfs unix mv
ipfs unix cp
ipfs unix ls
ipfs unix mkdir
ipfs unix stat
ipfs unix rm

or

ipfs files read
ipfs files write
ipfs files mv
ipfs files cp
ipfs files ls
ipfs files mkdir
ipfs files stat
ipfs files rm

is vendoring broken? the circleci tests look odd

+		}
+
+		res.SetOutput(&Object{

probably want more here, maybe:

size

cumulative size

of files (if dir)

core/commands/files/files.go

+			return
+		default:
+			res.SetError(errors.New("unrecognized type"), cmds.ErrNormal)
+		}


i'd put this (the meat) ls into the mfs module (or a subpkg like mfs/cmds or something. i like how @rht has been moving add and cat into core. these Commands should really just be glue between the commands library, and the functionality. (i.e. so that users who import IPFS as a library could use them)

this is just glue though, its converting the output from the mfs libs into the output we use in the cmds lib.

it's doing something meaningful, like selecting what to do depending on the Directory or FIle, etc. this is the meat of ls, even though ls is small. and we should be able to call ls from importing Go code.

Yup, agreed with @jbenet. This is the kind of walk you usually don't want to take again and again.

you mean walkFn and walk (for ls -R)

core/core.go

+
+	switch {
+	case err == ds.ErrNotFound || val == nil:
+		nd = &merkledag.Node{Data: unixfs.FolderPBData()}


Should this be uio.NewEmptyDirectory()? as in https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/core/corehttp/gateway_handler.go#L277

oh, yeah. that works too.

pretty sure circleCI cant handle PRs that arent based on master.

+
+			for _, o := range out.Entries {
+				if long {
+					fmt.Fprintf(buf, "%s\t%s\t%d\n", o.Name, o.Hash, o.Size)


You might want to try tabwriter next time :)

mv file1 file2
mv file ... directory

ipfs object stat also has LinksSize, and if Blocks should be NumLinks

Except for the hash, why not reuse Stat() as in ipfs object stat? And the marshalers as well.

jbenet · 2015-10-02T21:19:38Z

good tests! write fails need a bit of improvement:

on failures: check things haven't actually changed

also:

some silly whitespace things
path len(0) check

this is looking pretty good to me! 👍 excited to land this

@jbenet Alright, those are some tests!

whyrusleeping · 2015-10-04T02:44:42Z

@jbenet thoughts here?

jbenet · 2015-10-04T06:52:33Z

@whyrusleeping investigating why the circle-ci tests are failing.

for one, trying to run make vendor, need to get ipfs/go-log:

> go get github.com/ipfs/go-log
# github.com/ipfs/go-log
./oldlog.go:20: unknown logrus.TextFormatter field 'TimestampFormat' in struct literal
./oldlog.go:21: unknown logrus.TextFormatter field 'TimestampFormat' in struct literal

~~forget to push or something?~~

nvm. outdated logrus. fixed.

implement ipfs files command

jbenet · 2015-10-04T08:26:54Z

mfs (`ipfs files` for now) has shipped!

solid work from @whyrusleeping to land this.

remaining questions:

this is still an experimental command that might change a bit
play with the UI/UX and let us know how it is.
let us know what you prefer: ipfs files or ipfs unix.
- ipfs unix may be more accurate/less misleading even if a bit more confusing at first
- ipfs mfs -- could use this for merkledag-fs or something. (but mfs may be reserved for the "with mounts and hooks" one)

(this is in 0.8.3-dev, 0.8.3 will be out soon)

daviddias · 2015-10-04T21:01:25Z

so rad! Thank you for putting all of this together so quickly @whyrusleeping !! :D

whyrusleeping · 2015-10-05T17:06:09Z

(this is in 0.8.3-dev, 0.8.3 will be out soon)

I actually moved it forward from the distant future of 0.8.3 to the nearer future of 0.4.0

jbenet · 2015-10-05T17:59:45Z

Oh sorry, whoops!

core/commands/files/files.go

+
+var FilesCmd = &cmds.Command{
+	Helptext: cmds.HelpText{
+		Tagline: "Manipulate unixfs files",


@whyrusleeping will we use unixfs, files and mfs interchangeably? (looking also at the remaining help descriptions for the commands)

good question. i'm really not sure what the cleanest thing to do is. Posix files + dirs we use today across all OSes are unix derived, hence unixfs.

i think this should not be named mfs, but {unix, unixfs, files}. (mfs will be confusing to people unless we really push it and use that name everywhere. i think the other thing -- with mounts -- is likely better target to keep for the mfs name anyway. let's just say ipfs unix or ipfs files)
