Same problem with windows installation of immich cli my ubuntu installation of immich cli is working as expected

[lipe123]

Please can we get the fix approved/merged or something, I just started using immich and i have soo many images i wish to import with the CLI. The only thing that works is importing one image at a time, none of the directory or any recursive functions work on windows.

Could we downgrade the immich cli to an older version (while this is fixed) in which --recursive was working or is that not possible due to the changes in the immich server? If so, which version should we downgrade to?
Another option could be to run the cli in WSL.

I am still experiencing this exact issue on v1.111.0 running on Ubuntu server 24.04.

❯ immich -V #immich cli version
2.2.13
❯ npm -v
10.8.2
❯ nvm -v
0.39.7
❯ node -v
v20.16.0

Any idea how to resolve this?

This is the folder I am hoping to upload

Permissions Size User Date Modified Name
drwxr-xr-x - user 10 Jul 13:31 icloud_backup_preserved

with the following command:

immich upload --dry-run --recursive 'icloud_backup_preserved/' (I also tried without the dry run and without the single quotes, same result)

Here is the breakdown of content in the directory

File Size Distribution in icloud_backup_preserved/:
0-10MB: 56379 files, total size 89G
10-50MB: 1083 files, total size 25G
50-150MB: 536 files, total size 44G
150-500MB: 170 files, total size 41G
500MB-1GB: 50 files, total size 33G
1GB+: 41 files, total size 84G

I tried it with a smaller folder which had only a handful of the files from the directory above and it worked as expected. I wonder what is causing this? Should I perhaps just split the directory up?

[lipe123]

I feel like you are supposed to do ./icloud_backup_preserved for your path or specify the whole path maybe?

Idk, I recently imported all my stuff in windows and it was working for me then.

@lipe123 thanks for the reply! This code should work, I did try with the full path with the same result.

I tried the exact same process on Windows and it worked no problem. Wondering if this is still an active bug for Ubuntu Server 24.04.
