Does not work when rsync is not installed

[calclavia]

On certain docker images (node:16, commonly used in CIs) without rsync command installed, this package does not work. Is there a way to fall back to a NodeJS implementation that does not rely on rsync when this occurs?

node:events:505
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn rsync ENOENT

Hi guys @zallesov @calclavia

I have introduced a PR which should resolve this problem.

https://github.com/rxdi/firelink/pull/57

Executing command firelink --use-native-copy will use native nodejs implementation for recursive copy folders and files.

Please give it a shot by installing latest firelink and tell me how it goes.

npm install @rxdi/firelink@0.8.2

Cheers!

Was thinking recently that i will make a fallback if rsync is not available to use native implementation so you don't need to provide additional argument.

@Stradivario Looks like in version 0.9.x you removed this flag --use-native-copy and did not add a fallback to native. What is the solution than?

Interesting i didn't remove it let me check what is going on
