[BUG] Incorrectly created complete/incomplete folders

[Lingxi-Li]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I have following setup.

1. Mounted a file share to /share and a local folder to /incomplete.
2. Placed a pre-configured settings.json to /config before lighting up the container with following key settings.
   1. "download-dir": "/share/default"
   2. "incomplete-dir": "/incomplete"

After lighting up the container, I saw complete and incomplete folders created inside my file share. I searched the code base and found a hardcode here. Might be relevant.

Expected Behavior

User settings of incomplete and complete folders should be honored rather than making assumptions with hardcode. In my case, they should be /share/default and /incomplete, respectively.

Steps To Reproduce

1. In docker-compose.yml, make following mounts
   • some_path:/incomplete
   • some_other_path:/share
2. Place a pre-configured settings.json to /config before lighting up the container with following key settings
   • "download-dir": "/share/default"
   • "incomplete-dir": "/incomplete"
3. Light up with sudo docker compose up -d
4. Find incomplete and complete folders created inside some_other_path.

Thanks for opening your first issue here! Be sure to follow the relevant issue templates, or risk having this issue marked as invalid.

We only create folders in /downloads

[Lingxi-Li]

@Roxedus Thanks for the prompt response. Are you suggesting that the complete and incomplete folders in /share were created by Transmission itself?

[Roxedus]

That is a safe bet.
