export with --dry-run parameter results in Error - RetryError[<Future at 0x10ae539d0 state=finished raised DataError>]

[rajscode]

Have a working export command. As soon as I add the --dry-run option it causes the command to not work anymore and reports an error:

Tried it two different ways:
osxphotos export /Volumes/WDSSD2TB/photo_library_export/photo_library_backup/ --dry-run --verbose --load-config /Volumes/WDSSD2TB/photo_library_export/osxphotos_backup.toml

.toml config contents for above command

[export]
update = true
cleanup = true

report = "/Volumes/WDSSD2TB/photo_library_export/osxphotos_report_backup.sqlite"
append = true

db = "/Volumes/WDSSD2TB/Macbook_Pro_14_PhotosLibrary_Full_Originals_Backup/Photos Library.photoslibrary"

tmpdir = "/Volumes/WDSSD2TB/photo_library_export/osxphotos_tmp"

directory = "{created.year}/{created.year}-{created.mm}"

theme = "dark"

sidecar = [ "xmp",]
sidecar_drop_ext = true

person_keyword = true
favorite_rating = true

keyword_template = [
"Album: {folder_album}",
"{label}",
"{favorite?is_favorite}",
"is_{media_type}",
]

Removed the verbose and dry-run from the command line and instead put it in the TOML file
osxphotos export /Volumes/WDSSD2TB/photo_library_export/photo_library_backup/ --load-config /Volumes/WDSSD2TB/photo_library_export/osxphotos_backup.toml

.toml config contents for above command

[export]
verbose = true
dry_run = true

update = true
cleanup = true

report = "/Volumes/WDSSD2TB/photo_library_export/osxphotos_report_backup.sqlite"
append = true

db = "/Volumes/WDSSD2TB/Macbook_Pro_14_PhotosLibrary_Full_Originals_Backup/Photos Library.photoslibrary"

tmpdir = "/Volumes/WDSSD2TB/photo_library_export/osxphotos_tmp"

directory = "{created.year}/{created.year}-{created.mm}"

theme = "dark"

sidecar = [ "xmp",]
sidecar_drop_ext = true

person_keyword = true
favorite_rating = true

keyword_template = [
"Album: {folder_album}",
"{label}",
"{favorite?is_favorite}",
"is_{media_type}",
]

NOTE: If I leave verbose option ON and remove the dry run the commands work fine. If I remove the verbose option and leave only dry run (either way) it still gives same error.

Thanks for the detailed report. I see the problem, will work on a fix but probably will be next weekend before I can get to it.

When used in --dry-run mode, osxphotos creates an in-memory copy of the backup database so as not to change the database (which is needed to calculate what to export). However, it currently does this by dumping the SQL for the database then loading that into a new database and it's exceeding the sqlite query length:

File "/Users/userC/.local/pipx/venvs/osxphotos/lib/python3.11/site-packages/osxphotos/export_db.py", line 939, in _open_export_db
conn.cursor().executescript(dbdump.read())
sqlite3.DataError: query string is too large

I'll open a new issue to fix this. The correct way is to use sqlite backup()

[RhetTbull]

I think this is fixed in v0.60.1. Please upgrade and let me know if you still have the problem.

[rajscode]

Thank you. Verified it is working properly. Checked it using both methods (.toml file & command line option).

[RhetTbull]

Fix implemented. Running test suite now. See #1071
