Bash commands not doing the same things edify does

[depau]

The set_perm_recursive and other commands do not do what they're supposed to do in your bash equivalent. I'm quite good at bash, so I can fix them for you and PR, but I can't find the code... can you point it out to me?

Thanks!

Oh, by the way, some zips don't use the updater-script but replace the update-binary with a shell script to be able to perform more operations. You should check whether it's a binary or a text file. Some other zips have Aroma, which is definitely not compatible with this app unless you make an aroma interpreter with a GUI (which I'm not going to help you with, not enough free time...)

Thanks for your time and for the suggestions.
I haven't worked on this project in a while, but the code which handles the translation between edify and bash is all in EdifyParser.java

Hmm, I why didn't you use Java methods directly then? I mean, it's
easier and safer against code injection. I thought you did something
like running a bash script that imported some bash library with the
edify functions then imported the edify script...
I can make something like that, but not at the moment. I think I'll add
a reminder on my phone for a week from today so that I don't forget
about it.

I can't program Java, so I can't help you with the app.

There are no Java API for working with edify, this is done by the recovery, which is written in C/C++.
I've been told you can execute the update-binary directly from the OS through bash if you pass the right arguments though, but I never looked into it.

I mean, instead of using external programs to set permissions, etc, you can just use the java equivalent. As I said I don't know what they are as I don't know Java, but I'm pretty sure you can do that.

You may be able to run something like "recovery <script>", but I think it checks the signature by default.
