This commit introduces a new `collect batch` command that allows users to
collect multiple URLs from a file, stdin, or a JSON registry.

The command supports the following features:

- Parallel downloads with a configurable number of workers.
- Rate limiting with a configurable delay between requests.
- The ability to skip already downloaded files.
- Progress reporting with a progress bar.
- Reading URLs from a file, stdin, or a JSON file with a `jq` filter.

Summary of Changes

Hello @Snider, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the tool's data collection capabilities by introducing a new collect batch command. This command provides a robust and efficient way to download multiple resources, offering flexibility in how URLs are provided (files, stdin, or JSON with jq filtering). It also incorporates essential features for managing large-scale collections, such as parallel processing, configurable delays for rate limiting, and visual progress feedback, along with the ability to resume interrupted operations.

Highlights

  • New collect batch command: Introduced a new command collect batch under the collect subcommand, enabling the collection of multiple URLs.
  • Flexible URL input: The command supports reading URLs from a specified file, standard input, or by applying a jq filter to JSON input.
  • Parallel downloads and rate limiting: Resources can be downloaded concurrently using the --parallel flag, and a --delay flag allows for rate limiting between requests.
  • Progress reporting and resume functionality: A progress bar is displayed for interactive sessions, and the --continue flag allows skipping already downloaded files.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a collect batch command, which is a great addition for downloading multiple files. The implementation correctly handles parallel downloads, input from files or stdin, and JSON parsing with jq. The test coverage is also good.

I've found a few issues to address:

  • A critical race condition in concurrent file downloads that can lead to corrupted data.
  • The directory creation uses overly permissive file modes.
  • The rate-limiting implementation isn't effective for parallel downloads.
  • Potential for high memory usage when parsing large JSON files.

Details and suggestions are in the specific comments. After addressing these points, the feature will be much more robust and efficient.

critical

There is a critical race condition in this function. When multiple parallel workers try to download URLs that map to the same file path, they can interfere with each other, leading to corrupted files. For example, one worker might be writing to a file while another truncates it by calling os.Create.

To fix this, you should serialize all file operations for a given path. You can achieve this using a sync.Map to hold a mutex for each file path.

  1. Add this package-level variable:
    var fileLocks sync.Map
  2. Add locking logic inside downloadURL:
    func downloadURL(...) {
        // ... after getting filePath
        filePath := filepath.Join(outputDir, fileName)
    
        mu, _ := fileLocks.LoadOrStore(filePath, &sync.Mutex{})
        mu.(*sync.Mutex).Lock()
        defer mu.(*sync.Mutex).Unlock()
    
        // ... rest of the original function body
    }

medium

The current implementation of --delay is not ideal for rate-limiting parallel downloads. It causes each worker to sleep independently, leading to request bursts rather than a steady global rate.
A better approach is to use a global rate limiter that all workers respect. This time.Sleep should be removed, and a rate-limiting mechanism (e.g., using time.Ticker) should be added in the worker dispatch loop in RunE.

Example:

// In RunE:
var limiter <-chan time.Time
if delayDuration > 0 {
    ticker := time.NewTicker(delayDuration)
    defer ticker.Stop()
    limiter = ticker.C
}
// ...
// In worker goroutine:
for u := range urlsChan {
    if limiter != nil {
        <-limiter
    }
    downloadURL(...)
    // ...
}

decoder := json.NewDecoder(reader)

medium

decoder.Decode(&input) reads the entire JSON content into memory before processing. This can lead to high memory consumption and performance issues with very large JSON files. Consider using a streaming JSON parser if large inputs are expected, to process the data more efficiently without loading it all into memory at once.

In `@cmd/collect_batch_test.go`:
- Around line 180-203: The test reuses the same Cobra command instance `cmd`
between runs which can retain flag/state; to fix, instantiate a fresh command
for the second run by calling `NewCollectBatchCmd()` again (e.g., newCmd :=
NewCollectBatchCmd()) and then call `newCmd.SetOut(&out)`,
`newCmd.SetArgs([]string{urlsFile, "--output-dir", outputDir, "--continue"})`
and `newCmd.Execute()` so flags/state do not leak from the first invocation of
`cmd`.

In `@cmd/collect_batch.go`:
- Around line 131-136: Replace the use of http.Get(...) with an http.Client that
has a sane Timeout to avoid hanging; use that client to perform the GET for URL
variable u, capture resp and err as you do now, and on error call
logMessage(cmd, fmt.Sprintf(...), bar, outMutex) and return; after a successful
request check resp.StatusCode and treat any status >= 400 as an error
(logMessage and return) before proceeding to read/write the body; ensure you
still defer resp.Body.Close() after confirming resp is non-nil.
🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
cmd/collect_batch.go (3)

70-72: Consider using more restrictive directory permissions.

os.ModePerm (0777) grants full permissions to all users. Typically, 0755 is preferred for directories to restrict write access.

♻️ Suggested change
-		if err := os.MkdirAll(outputDir, os.ModePerm); err != nil {
+		if err := os.MkdirAll(outputDir, 0755); err != nil {

212-224: URL query strings are preserved in filenames.

filepath.Base(parsedURL.Path) does not account for query strings in the raw URL if they were somehow included in the path, and more importantly, parsedURL.RawQuery content is ignored. While url.Parse separates query strings correctly, consider using path.Base for URL paths and stripping query parameters explicitly for robustness.

Additionally, multiple URLs with the same filename (e.g., different domains) would overwrite each other silently.

♻️ Suggested improvement
+import "path"
+
 func getFileNameFromURL(rawURL string) (string, error) {
 	parsedURL, err := url.Parse(rawURL)
 	if err != nil {
 		return "", err
 	}
 	if parsedURL.Scheme != "http" && parsedURL.Scheme != "https" {
 		return "", fmt.Errorf("invalid URL scheme: %s", parsedURL.Scheme)
 	}
 	if parsedURL.Path == "" || parsedURL.Path == "/" {
 		return "index.html", nil
 	}
-	return filepath.Base(parsedURL.Path), nil
+	return path.Base(parsedURL.Path), nil
 }

Consider documenting the filename collision behaviour or adding hostname-based prefixing as a future enhancement.


205-208: Non-string jq results are silently ignored.

When the jq filter returns non-string values (e.g., numbers, objects), they are silently skipped. This could be confusing if users misconfigure their filter. Consider logging a warning or returning an error for unexpected types.

♻️ Optional: warn on non-string values
 	for {
 		v, ok := iter.Next()
 		if !ok {
 			break
 		}
 		if err, ok := v.(error); ok {
 			return nil, fmt.Errorf("error executing jq filter: %w", err)
 		}
 		if s, ok := v.(string); ok {
 			urls = append(urls, s)
+		} else if v != nil {
+			// Optionally log: non-string value ignored
 		}
 	}
cmd/collect_batch_test.go (1)

164-165: Pipe creation error is ignored.

The error from os.Pipe() is discarded. Whilst unlikely to fail in tests, checking the error improves robustness.

♻️ Suggested change
-		r, w, _ := os.Pipe()
+		r, w, err := os.Pipe()
+		if err != nil {
+			t.Fatalf("failed to create pipe: %v", err)
+		}
