"drive list -long -depth 0 $folder" does not return anything

[jean-christophe-manciot]

It works fine with a file, but not with a folder:

# drive list -long -depth 0 -hidden -no-prompt Test/Trash.jpg

# drive list -long -depth 0 -hidden -no-prompt Test
#

No such issue with drive stat

# drive stat -depth 0 -hidden  Test

Hello @jean-christophe-manciot, --depth is meant to traverse the contents of the subject item or display it if isn't a folder, when you do list because list inherently just uses the folder to get to its children. For stat, a folder's information is displayed because stat first details the subject item first and then tries to traverse to the children.

Would you mind telling me what output were you expecting for drive list --depth 0 folder?

The title is incomplete; I meant ""drive list -long -depth 0 $folder" does not return anything". That means I was expecting the same infos as with a file: type, id, date & time. This is used in scripts where we don't know in advance the type of object we're dealing with.
