check / check (push) Successful in 2m47s

Details

Keep going past unreadable files with check --continue (closes #11 )

With --continue, check stopped at the first file whose content or
checksum attribute it could not read, and at the first directory it
could not list. Each of these now counts as failed, its error, which
names the path, goes to stderr, and the walk goes on; the run still
exits non-zero. The walk shared with sum and clear takes the continue
setting, and they pass false. If the count that sizes the progress bar
cannot read a path, check --continue runs without the bar. Without
--continue the first such error still stops the run, and the summary
printed before it now counts an unreadable checksum attribute as
failed, as it already did for unreadable content.

Status

1.0+

Tagged 1.0.0 (2025-05-08). Substantial correctness fixes and features have landed since the tag.

Next Step

Policy scaffold commit: add LICENSE, REPO_POLICIES.md, .editorconfig, .golangci.yml, and a comprehensive .gitignore (currently only the attrsum binary), and extend the Makefile (only test/build/clean/try today) with lint, fmt, fmt-check, check, and hooks targets.

Completed Steps

2026-10-06: check --continue keeps going past a file or directory it cannot read: it counts it as failed, prints the error and the path on stderr, and checks the rest of the tree
2026-10-05: golangci-lint settings take effect: canonical .golangci.yml (v2 layout, settings under linters.settings), golangci-lint pinned at v2.12.2 in Dockerfile and script/bootstrap, and the code fixed for what the settings now report (long lines in attrsum.go rewrapped)
2026-10-05: make try runs on three small files in a temporary directory that it removes afterwards, also when a step fails, instead of on a fixed directory on one person's machine
2026-10-02: attrsum --version reports the git tag or short commit, stamped by make build and by a plain docker build . of a clone; .dockerignore sends .git without .git/config and keeps a host-built attrsum out; CI checks out full history so it stamps the same version
2026-02-02: correctness pass: track actual bytes read instead of stale file size, atomic failure tracking in ProcessCheck, detect file modification during checksum (TOCTOU), propagate countFiles errors, single progress bar across paths, error on empty stdin, dead code removal
2026-02-01: added quiet mode, progress bar, summary report, and stdin path input; multiple file/directory arguments for all commands
2025-07-12: README update
2025-05-08: initial working tool with passing tests, skips non-regular files, Makefile, README; tagged 1.0.0

Future Steps

Add .gitea/workflows/check.yml
Restructure README.md into the standard sections: Description, Getting Started, Rationale, Design, TODO, License, Author (Getting Started, Why?, TODO, License exist; Description, Design, Author are missing)
Tag a patch release to ship the 2026-02-02 correctness fixes
Dry-run mode (--dry-run, -n): show what would be done without making changes (from README TODO)
JSON output (--json) for scripting and integration (from README TODO)
Parallel processing (-j N) with multiple goroutines for faster checksumming on large trees (from README TODO)
Formalize and document exit codes for scripting (from README TODO)
