permission denied on autoMount script in MacOs

[ghost]

Hello,

I created an launchd script to launch gphotos-sync automatically when my USB drive is mounted:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>local.StartOnMount.gphotos-sync</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/bin/bash</string>
        <string>-c</string>
        <string>[[ -d "/Volumes/Extreme SSD" ]] &amp;&amp; cd ~/gphotos-sync &amp;&amp; /usr/local/bin/pipenv run gphotos-sync .</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <false/>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/local.StartOnMount.gphotos-sync.stderr</string>
    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/local.StartOnMount.gphotos-sync.stdout</string>
    <key>StartOnMount</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Unfortunalty this failed due to access permissions.

All files in /Users/tie/gphotos-sync are set to 666, all folders to 777 Whats wrong here?

Thanks tie82

I think this is the same issue as #254. That is assuming your USB drive is FAT?

I'm working through bugs at the moment and this one will be fixed in the next week or so.

it is ExFAT But when I run the "pipenv run gphotos-sync ." command by my own it is working. I got the permission error only with using the launchd script

[gilesknap]

I assume that the account that your auto script runs under has lower privileges than your own in that case.

My fix for #254 will be to check if I can set permissions on a file in the destination directory and if not then skip the permissions step for all files.

This may coincidentally fix your issue.

I'm releasing a new version of gphotos-sync and closing stale issues. Please reopen if you still want me to look at this. Thanks.
