gsutil / gcloud storage file listing sorted date descending?



Is there no way to get a file listing out from a Google Cloud Storage bucket that is sorted by date descending? This is very frustrating. I need to check the status of files that are uploaded and the bucket has thousands of objects.



gsutil ls does not have the standard linux -t option.


gsutil ls


-t



Google cloud console also lists it but does not offer sorting options.

The only ordering supported by GCS is lexicographic.



As a workaround, if it's possible for you to name your objects with a datestamp, that would give you a way to list objects by date.





I'm guessing this is by design? To allow infinitely long directories / buckets?

I've been looking for official documentation of this feature (lexicographic object list ordering) and have been unable to find it. Are there any links that you know of?

The ordering must be deterministic since they allow paging of results, it's just not necessarily alphabetic (or controllable?). I'd love to see some official documentation on this as well as I haven't yet been able to find it.

I use this as a workaround:




gsutil ls -l gs://[bucket-name]/ | sort -k 2



gsutil ls -l gs://[bucket-name]/ | sort -k 2

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right.

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
