Skyscraper bug report: --fromfile works with absolute path to report file, but not relative path.
-
Report created with
--cache report:missing=video
. Contains 2 lines. Initial--fromfile
command used:Skyscraper -p pcengine -s screenscraper --fromfile .skyscraper/reports/report-pcengine-missing_video-20210425.txt
(Command called from $HOME directory. File exists at path. Command formed with TAB autocomplete.)
Expected behavior: as if the filenames were called individually on the command line: only the two named roms processed, cache refreshed with new downloaded information.
Actual behavior: "a gamelist already exists, do you want to skip existing entries?" (I say no.) All 26 roms in the
pcengine
folder are "processed." (Since I have scraped this platform before, all 26 entries have partial data and are read from the cache. None are refreshed, the two missing videos are not downloaded.)Followed with the command:
Skyscraper -p pcengine -s screenscraper --fromfile /home/pi/.skyscraper/reports/report-pcengine-missing_video-20210425.txt
(Full path with
/home/pi/
prepended), this behaved as expected. The two named files were processed, refreshed, videos downloaded.As a test, I tried:
Skyscraper -p pcengine -s screenscraper --fromfile ./.skyscraper/reports/report-pcengine-missing_video-20210425.txt
(Relative path but with
./.skyscraper
instead of just.skyscraper
) and it didn't work either.Even from within the reports directory:
pi@retropie:~ $ cd .skyscraper/reports/ pi@retropie:~/.skyscraper/reports $ Skyscraper -p pcengine -s screenscraper --fromfile report-pcengine-missing_video-20210425.txt
Wants to scrape all 26 files, and does not refresh the two missing videos.
