occ groupfolders:scan : scan only a specific folder like occ files:scan --path

[flowzen1337]

Hi,

currently i use
#occ groupfolders:scan <folder_id> → trigger a filescan for a group folder
occ groupfolders:scan 104

for scanning a groupfolder, but what i want is to scan only a exact given path:

#occ groupfolders:scanpath <path> → trigger a filescan for a group folder specific path
occ groupfolders:scanpath 104/my/uploads/ → trigger a filescan for a group folder specific path

So that only the "104/my/uploads" is scanned and not the whole groupfolder with id "104" as it takes very long if there are many files/folders in it that are already known.

Is that possible somehow?

Thanks in advance! 👍

Cheers

sudo -u www-data php occ groupfolders:scan 104/my/uploads/

@ZeikoFr - Sorry, i have to reopen it, the problem is that the scan command doesnt scan the given directory only, it seems it scans the full Groupfolder:

For example:

• [ Working fast - with some folders and just one file ]

• GroupfolderID: 102

• Path: /foobar/one/to/three/

• Containing File: test.csv

• Note: Containing only one path with only one file - scanning is fast:
  root@server:/var/www/html/nextcloud/data/__groupfolders/102# find .
.
./foobar
./foobar/one
./foobar/one/two
./foobar/one/two/three
./foobar/one/two/three/test.csv

• CMD: sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/nextcloud/occ groupfolders:scan "102/foobar/one/two/three"
+---------+-------+--------------+
| Folders | Files | Elapsed time |
+---------+-------+--------------+
| 5 | 1 | 00:00:00 |
+---------+-------+--------------+

But when there are already many files and paths in the folder the scanning seems to scan all files inside the groupfolders instead of just the given path:

• [ Working Slow - many folders and many files ]
• GroupfolderID: 104
• Path: /Unsorted/Files/Peter/2020-2021/2020-12-09/Test_B_Subdir/"
• Containing File: test_b.csv
• listing: ls -l 104/Unsorted/Files/Peter/2020-2021/2020-12-09/Test_B_Subdir/
insgesamt 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dez 7 14:01 test_b.csv
• Note: Containing many paths and files but only the direct path to a subdir with one file is given to occ command - scanning is slow and output shows it scans much more files and directorys:
  root@server:/var/www/html/nextcloud/data/__groupfolders/104# find . | wc -l
565
• CMD: sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/nextcloud/occ groupfolders:scan "104/Unsorted/Files/Peter/2020-2021/2020-12-09/Test_B_Subdir/"
+---------+-------+--------------+
| Folders | Files | Elapsed time |
+---------+-------+--------------+
| 416 | 122 | 00:01:13 |
+---------+-------+--------------+

As you can see in the output it scanned 416 folders with 122 files and took over a minute instead of just scanning the given directory and the files included :-(

Hi @flowzen1337 @Zegorax, I needed the same feature so I created a pull request. You can specify the path with -p and add --shallow if you don't want to scan recursively, like you can do with files:scan. You still need to specify the folder id. Check it out, if you like: #2232

Hi @flowzen1337 ✋ maybe you can test #2232 and provide feedback?
