I don't use this platform anymore (only keeping a few mirror repos around). All my opensource work is done on GitLab as @cipres.

aioipfs's Issues

Problem with IPFS file download

I try to get the NFT image (e.g. https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVFPvu8aeJHXyNVxpfftVHaKjRsbtH6dXWscJ2TukM3xi ) from IPFS as follows:

1. Run IPFS daemon
2. Run small script:

async def main():
	client = aioipfs.AsyncIPFS()
	print(client)
	await client.core.get('QmVFPvu8aeJHXyNVxpfftVHaKjRsbtH6dXWscJ2TukM3xi', dstdir='/tmp')
	await client.close()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())

I receive the following error:
Could not remove TAR file: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'file path'

Py-test problems

Greetings,
I am not sure when u did the last pytest run -- the tests don't work:

1. At least, you need to include for event_loop for following code - or nothing works.
   @pytest.fixture
   def event_loop():
   loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
   yield loop
   loop.close()
2. When a test failed it block the corresponding localhost ports - I get the following error:

• Error: serveHTTPGateway: manet.Listen(/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/9080) failed: listen tcp4 127.0.0.1:9080: bind: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.
  So (failed tests) occupy ports -- which means that, I assume sockets were used in a way that made them persistently bind itself to given ports. This may reveal a much bigger problem -- What happen to the ports in a production or app environment when the used "cmd" can't be closed - or the app must be restarted to have these locked ports being removed ...? I am not aware that there is an external tool that I can use to close these IP ports.
  Or:

3. how about using some auto-clean function like:
   @pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
   async def cleanup_after_test():
   yield
   • Perform cleanup actions, e.g., release ports
   • Close any remaining connections
   • Ensure that all resources are properly released after each test
     Just a thought

Error processing car file: car stream not convertible to bytes

Summary

I've followed the example to process a locally downloaded car file (see the cid here) but cannot stream the file contents. It runs into an error: car stream for ... not convertable to bytes.

Details

Here's the example implementation from the docs:

from pathlib import Path
from aioipfs import util

data = await util.car_bytes(
    util.car_open(Path('docs.car')),
    'bafybeiawyahkjt4kzrzc3bjylqupniukbpnbvys7pt536c64gxg7onq36m'
)

Here's my setup. After downloading the car file locally (it's V2 iirc), I try to drop it into the snippet above. I can successfully use car_open (it shows the pointer to <ipfs_car_decoder.async_stream.FileByteStream object at 0x104c97c90>), but trying to run car_bytes is where the error is thrown.

from pathlib import Path
from aioipfs import util
from asyncio import run

async def process_car_file():
    try:
        data = await util.car_bytes(
            util.car_open(Path('bafybeiajgoqpcayvds6lgvit5r5blitjdgjrrkedmiyckblykchkzlfwc4.car')),
            "bafybeiajgoqpcayvds6lgvit5r5blitjdgjrrkedmiyckblykchkzlfwc4",
        )
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error occurred: {e}")

run(process_car_file())
# Error occurred: car stream for bafybeiajgoqpcayvds6lgvit5r5blitjdgjrrkedmiyckblykchkzlfwc4 not convertable to bytes

Note: the contents of the car file is two directory layers with a single file: bafybeiajgoqpcayvds6lgvit5r5blitjdgjrrkedmiyckblykchkzlfwc4/xm_data/p1/1700842786271269.parquet
