Space characters in bind-hooks

[jaromil]

Hi! can you please confirm this issue is solved using latest version from git?

[zhogano]

Hi @jaromil. It did not work for me. I downloaded the latest version from git, installed it using sudo make install. Made sure the file "tomb" changed in /usr/local/bin/.
Let's say this is the path /home/user/.config/Example Folder which I want to bind-hook to media/ExampleFolder in tomb.

1. First I tried without symlink. But it could not bind-hook:
   bind-hooks:
   media/ExampleFolder ".config/Example Folder"

Output:
tomb . Commanded to open tomb .doc/secret.tomb
tomb . Valid tomb file found: .doc/secret.tomb
tomb . Key is an image, it might be valid.
tomb . Mountpoint not specified, using default: /run/media/user/secret
tomb (*) Opening secret on /run/media/user/secret
tomb . This tomb is a valid LUKS encrypted device.

tomb . on date Mon 07 Mar 2022 10:36:37 AM +03
tomb [W] bind-hook target not existent, skipping /home/user/".config/Example

2. Then I tried using symlink. This way the bind-hook worked, but then it was impossible to close the tomb either by tomb close or tomb slam.

I created symlink with
ln -s "/home/user/.config/ExampleFolder/" Example

bind-hooks file:
media/ExampleFolder Example

output:
$ tomb close
tomb . Closing tomb [secret] mounted on /run/media/user/secret
tomb . Closing tomb bind hook: /home/.../...
tomb . Closing tomb bind hook: /home/user/.config/Example Folder
umount: /home/user/.config/Example\x20Folder: no mount point specified.
tomb [E] Tomb bind hook /home/user/.config/Example Folder is busy, cannot close tomb.

Am I doing something wrong?

[zhogano]

Hello again. As a workaround, I could make it work for me using symlink and then just before closing the tomb, I enter:
sudo umount "/home/user/.config/Example Folder" or just
sudo umount Example , where "Example" is the symlink as defined in ln -s "/home/user/.config/ExampleFolder/" Example
then,
tomb close

Could you run tomb with -D for debug output? Just curious if it breaks in the region of line 2501

I tried it and it does not give any line numbers, and I don't know how to debug a bash script. But you could try this by creating this folder structure "/home/user/.config/Example Folder" and try to bind-hook to "media/ExampleFolder" in tomb.

No, it doesn't give line numbers, but in that region are verbose messages which maybe can tell the state of vars.
But will try to setup hooks. Never did that before with tomb, so I need to read about this.
