Describe the bug
When trash-put is used to trash a folder that contains other folders without write permissions, a subsequent trash-empty command will fail

trash-cli version
0.24.5.26

Are you using the latest version of trash-cli?
Yes

Have you tried if the bug is present in the latest version of trash-cli?
Yes

Operating system:

  • OS: Arch

To Reproduce
Copy and paste the commands (and their output) to execute in order to reproduce
the behavior:

$ mkdir -p myfolder/testfolder
$ chmod -w myfolder/testfolder
$ trash-put myfolder
$ trash-empty -f
trash-empty: cannot remove /home/$USER/.local/share/Trash/files/myfolder

Expected behavior
Files in the trash should be forcibley overwritten or trash-empty should ask for confirmation before overwritng them

Currently I have to go into the trash directory and run chmod -R +w myfolder before I can empty the trash. This should be automated

Note that this bug was discovered by deleting the "go" directory that contains the dependent modules that are downloaded during the build process of go applications. The contained module folders do not have write permissions by default.

I'm unable to reproduce the problem using your toy example, although we're using the same version of trash-cli. Could it be an issue with the permissions of the Trash folder? For me, ~/.local/share/Trash and its subfolders have drwx------ permissions, and the owner and group are me.

The Permissions for my Trash folder are as follows:

/usr/bin/ls -la ~/.local/share/Trash
total 32
drwx------  4 myuser myuser  4096 Oct 30 18:31 .
drwxrwx--- 14 myuser myuser  4096 Mar  5 21:13 ..
drwxrwx--- 12 myuser myuser  4096 Mar  5 22:58 files
drwx------  2 myuser myuser 20480 Mar  5 22:58 in

I wrote a script that reproduces the bug:

#!/bin/sh

mkdir /tmp/trash-cli-test
mkdir /tmp/trash-cli-test/myfolder
touch /tmp/trash-cli-test/myfolder/a
chmod ugo-w /tmp/trash-cli-test/myfolder
trash-put /tmp/trash-cli-test
trash-empty -f
