Skip excluded paths before looking at their errors (closes #16)
filepath.Walk hands its callback the error for a path it could not
read, such as a directory it cannot list. Both callbacks, in
walkAndProcess and countFiles, returned that error before they checked
the exclusions, so a directory that --exclude or --exclude-dotfiles
excluded still failed the run when it could not be listed. Given an
error, each callback now checks the exclusions first and skips an
excluded path. The new test excludes a directory that cannot be listed
and runs sum add and check over its parent.

Workflow

  • branch (from main)
  • do the work in Next Step
  • move Next Step to the top of Completed Steps
  • move the top item of Future Steps into Next Step
  • commit (TODO.md changes in the same commit as the work)
  • merge to main if the branch is not protected, otherwise open a PR
  • push

Status

1.0+

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

Next Step

Re-vendor the canonical files from sneak/prompts at dd4027b (#13): add REPO_POLICIES.md and .editorconfig, refresh .gitignore (only the attrsum binary today), .dockerignore, .gitea/workflows/check.yml and .golangci.yml, and move the lint phase to golangci-lint v2.14.0.

Completed Steps

  • 2026-10-06: a path that --exclude or --exclude-dotfiles excludes is skipped even when it cannot be read, so an excluded directory that cannot be listed no longer fails the run
  • 2026-10-06: lint and test run as phases of the Dockerfile, and the build stage depends on both; script/lint and script/test each build their phase with --no-cache; script/cibuild bootstraps, runs script/check, then builds the image; golangci-lint is no longer installed on the host
  • 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

  • Restructure README.md into the standard sections: Description, Getting Started, Entrypoints, Rationale, Design, TODO, License, Author (Getting Started, Why?, TODO, License exist; Description, Entrypoints, Design, Author are missing)
  • Add a LICENSE file matching the README's WTFPL v2; sneak's to add, not an agent's
  • 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)
