Overview

gdrive-search

Warning: I used this to learn Rust. It might be the worst Rust ever. Feedback to help me learn is very welcome!

Fifty percent learning Rust, fifty percent building a CLI to very quickly search & access files in your Google Drive.

On my Mac I had the Google Drive desktop app, and an Alfred workflow to use that synchronised filesystem to quickly search & open Drive files. But I haven't found an equivalent super-fast autocompleting search & open for Linux so I decided to build one.

What does it look like?

Hitting enter would then open in your browser

What works?

Sign in with Google Drive (if you follow setup below).
Sync files & folders (currently fetches incrementally, every 5 minutes) and save to file.
Interface for searching for file/folders.
Open chosen file/folder in your web browser.

How do I get it?

Download a release from GitHub if there is one for your platform.

Or if you have Rust installed you can download and compile it from Cargo:

$ cargo install gdrive-search

Google Drive API application setup

This dance will be familiar if you've used any other open source tools that use the Google Drive API.

Create a new project
Enable the Google Drive API for your project
Setup oauth consent screen
Create a new oauth client ID

Download the JSON provided and put it in the configuration directory. This varies depending on operating system:

Platform	Value	Example
Linux	$XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $HOME/.config/gdrive-search/clientsecret.json	/home/alice/.config/gdrive-search/clientsecret.json
macOS	$HOME/Library/Preferences/gdrive-search/clientsecret.json	/Users/Alice/Library/Preferences/gdrive-search/clientsecret.json
Windows	{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}\gdrive-search\clientsecret.json	C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\gdrive-search\clientsecret.json

Roadmap

Some indication of what type of file/folder each entry is.
Can we fetch in the background whilst skim loads to make it even faster?
A way of resetting the configuration.
Better error handling if config files are in an invalid state.
Multi-account support.
A way to force a fetch from scratch.

Bump regex from 1.5.4 to 1.5.6
Bumps regex from 1.5.4 to 1.5.6.

Changelog

Sourced from regex's changelog.

1.5.6 (2022-05-20)

This release includes a few bug fixes, including a bug that produced incorrect matches when a non-greedy ? operator was used.

[BUG #680](rust-lang/regex#680): Fixes a bug where [[:alnum:][:^ascii:]] dropped [:alnum:] from the class.

[BUG #859](rust-lang/regex#859): Fixes a bug where Hir::is_match_empty returned false for \b.

[BUG #862](rust-lang/regex#862): Fixes a bug where 'ab??' matches 'ab' instead of 'a' in 'ab'.

1.5.5 (2022-03-08)

This releases fixes a security bug in the regex compiler. This bug permits a vector for a denial-of-service attack in cases where the regex being compiled is untrusted. There are no known problems where the regex is itself trusted, including in cases of untrusted haystacks.

SECURITY #GHSA-m5pq-gvj9-9vr8: Fixes a bug in the regex compiler where empty sub-expressions subverted the existing mitigations in place to enforce a size limit on compiled regexes. The Rust Security Response WG published an advisory about this: https://groups.google.com/g/rustlang-security-announcements/c/NcNNL1Jq7Yw

skim prioritises if a file matches the case you search, which doesn't work that great for Google Drive because Google Drive doesn't really care about case.
