# Upgrading from v3 to v4
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v4 is a complete rewrite with a focus on performance. Additionally,
|
||
|
|
[doublestar] has been updated to use the new [io/fs] package for filesystem
|
||
|
|
access. As a result, it is only supported by [golang] v1.16+.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Match()` and `PathMatch()` mostly did not change, besides big performance
|
||
|
|
improvements. Their API is the same. However, note the following corner cases:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* In previous versions of [doublestar], `PathMatch()` could accept patterns
|
||
|
|
that used either platform-specific path separators, or `/`. This was
|
||
|
|
undocumented and didn't match `filepath.Match()`. In v4, both `pattern` and
|
||
|
|
`name` must be using appropriate path separators for the platform. You can
|
||
|
|
use `filepath.FromSlash()` to change `/` to platform-specific separators if
|
||
|
|
you aren't sure.
|
||
|
|
* In previous versions of [doublestar], a pattern such as `path/to/a/**` would
|
||
|
|
_not_ match `path/to/a`. In v4, this pattern _will_ match because if `a` was
|
||
|
|
a directory, `Glob()` would return it. In other words, the following returns
|
||
|
|
true: `Match("path/to/a/**", "path/to/a")`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Glob()` changed from using a [doublestar]-specific filesystem abstraction (the
|
||
|
|
`OS` interface) to the [io/fs] package. As a result, it now takes a `fs.FS` as
|
||
|
|
its first argument. This change has a couple ramifications:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Like `io/fs.Glob`, `pattern` must use a `/` as path separator, even on
|
||
|
|
platforms that use something else. You can use `filepath.ToSlash()` on your
|
||
|
|
patterns if you aren't sure.
|
||
|
|
* Patterns that contain `/./` or `/../` are invalid. The [io/fs] package
|
||
|
|
rejects them, returning an IO error. Since `Glob()` ignores IO errors, it'll
|
||
|
|
end up being silently rejected. You can run `path.Clean()` to ensure they are
|
||
|
|
removed from the pattern.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v4 also added a `GlobWalk()` function that is slightly more performant than
|
||
|
|
`Glob()` if you just need to iterate over the results and don't need a string
|
||
|
|
slice. You also get `fs.DirEntry` objects for each result, and can quit early
|
||
|
|
if your callback returns an error.
|
||
|
|
|

# Upgrading from v2 to v3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v3 introduced using `!` to negate character classes, in addition to `^`. If any
|
||
|
|
of your patterns include a character class that starts with an exclamation mark
|
||
|
|
(ie, `[!...]`), you'll need to update the pattern to escape or move the
|
||
|
|
exclamation mark. Note that, like the caret (`^`), it only negates the
|
||
|
|
character class if it is the first character in the character class.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Upgrading from v1 to v2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The change from v1 to v2 was fairly minor: the return type of the `Open` method
|
||
|
|
on the `OS` interface was changed from `*os.File` to `File`, a new interface
|
||
|
|
exported by doublestar. The new `File` interface only defines the functionality
|
||
|
|
doublestar actually needs (`io.Closer` and `Readdir`), making it easier to use
|
||
|
|
doublestar with [go-billy], [afero], or something similar. If you were using
|
||
|
|
this functionality, updating should be as easy as updating `Open's` return
|
||
|
|
type, since `os.File` already implements `doublestar.File`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you weren't using this functionality, updating should be as easy as changing
|
||
|
|
your dependencies to point to v2.
