Insync-headless move_folder seems not working

Bugs and issues Linux
#1

Hello,
I’m trying to move folder destination, but it doesn’t work:
As stated in the man (insync-headless move_folder PREV_PATH NEW_PATH) I type the following command:

insync-headless move_folder /root/xxxxx@gmail.com/ /var/www/domain.tld/private/xxxxx@gmail.com/

Moving… /root/xxxxx@gmail.com

But the destination folder is not created, nothing moves!
If I create the destination folder before launching the command, it is deleted.
I tried with or without end-slash: same result.

An idea for me?
Thank you.

Some logs ?

Nothing when launching move_folder command.
Nothing when starting insync-headless

This when exiting insync-headless:

Hi lpugoy,
Thank you for the answer.

Debian Jessie, up to date.

Hi,

 # insync-headless start

Unfortunately, it produce an output error (global name ‘os’ is not defined) and it doesn’t move the folder:

 # insync-headless move_folder /root/xxx\@gmail.com/ /var/www/yyyyy.mg/private/xxx\@gmail.com/
 Moving... /root/xxx@gmail.comglobal name 'os' is not defined /root/xxx@gmail.com

On the other side there is no more errors nor messages… in logs (file out.txt).

All best.

#11

@lol_deb Does the move_folder command now work for your case?

#13

I think I may have a similiar problem - but as I am new to both Linux (Ubuntu) and Insync I ham having trouble understanding the fix. Basically I was trying to move my synch folder to an external drive and when I try to apply the change (using the Insync manage Account tool) The error “global name ‘os’ is not defined” flashes up. Here is my orignal question. Any help would be great.

#14

@Mark_Roberts Please try the 1.2.13 version: New Insync version: 1.2.13/1.2.14

#15

Perfect. Thanks all seems to be working now.
