Folder

Contained within this file are experimental interfaces for working with the Synapse Python Client. Unless otherwise noted these interfaces are subject to change at any time. Use at your own risk.

Example Script

Working with folders

"""
Expects that ~/temp exists and is a directory.

The purpose of this script is to demonstrate how to use the new OOP interface for folders.
The following actions are shown in this script:
1. Creating a folder
2. Storing a folder to a project
3. Storing several files to a folder
4. Storing several folders in a folder
5. Getting metadata about a folder and it's immediate children
6. Updating the annotations in bulk for a number of folders and files
7. Deleting a folder
8. Copying a folder
9. Moving a folder
10. Using sync_from_synapse to download the files and folders

API Reference

synapseclient.models.Folder dataclass

Bases: FolderSynchronousProtocol, AccessControllable, StorableContainer, ContainerEntityJSONSchema

Folder is a hierarchical container for organizing data in Synapse.

ATTRIBUTE	DESCRIPTION
id	The unique immutable ID for this folder. A new ID will be generated for new Folders. Once issued, this ID is guaranteed to never change or be re-issued. TYPE: Optional[str]
name	The name of this folder. Must be 256 characters or less. Names may only contain: letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, hyphens, periods, plus signs, apostrophes, and parentheses. TYPE: Optional[str]
parent_id	The ID of the Project or Folder that is the parent of this Folder. TYPE: Optional[str]
description	The description of this entity. Must be 1000 characters or less. TYPE: Optional[str]
etag	(Read Only) Synapse employs an Optimistic Concurrency Control (OCC) scheme to handle concurrent updates. Since the E-Tag changes every time an entity is updated it is used to detect when a client's current representation of an entity is out-of-date. TYPE: Optional[str]
created_on	(Read Only) The date this entity was created. TYPE: Optional[str]
modified_on	(Read Only) The date this entity was last modified. TYPE: Optional[str]
created_by	(Read Only) The ID of the user that created this entity. TYPE: Optional[str]
modified_by	(Read Only) The ID of the user that last modified this entity. TYPE: Optional[str]
files	Files that exist within this folder. TYPE: List[File]
folders	Folders that exist within this folder. TYPE: List[Folder]
tables	Tables that exist within this folder. TYPE: List[Table]
entityviews	Entity views that exist within this folder. TYPE: List[EntityView]
submissionviews	Submission views that exist within this folder. TYPE: List[SubmissionView]
datasets	Datasets that exist within this folder. TYPE: List[Dataset]
datasetcollections	Dataset collections that exist within this folder. TYPE: List[DatasetCollection]
materializedviews	Materialized views that exist within this folder. TYPE: List[MaterializedView]
virtualtables	Virtual tables that exist within this folder. TYPE: List[VirtualTable]
annotations	Additional metadata associated with the folder. The key is the name of your desired annotations. The value is an object containing a list of values (use empty list to represent no values for key) and the value type associated with all values in the list. To remove all annotations set this to an empty dict {} or None and store the entity. TYPE: Optional[Dict[str, Union[List[str], List[bool], List[float], List[int], List[date], List[datetime]]]]
create_or_update	(Store only) Indicates whether the method should automatically perform an update if the resource conflicts with an existing Synapse object. When True this means that any changes to the resource will be non-destructive. This boolean is ignored if you've already stored or retrieved the resource from Synapse for this instance at least once. Any changes to the resource will be destructive in this case. For example if you want to delete the content for a field you will need to call .get() and then modify the field. TYPE: bool

Sync this container and all possible sub-folders from Synapse. By default this will download the files that are found and it will populate the files and folders attributes with the found files and folders, along with all other entity types (tables, entityviews, etc.) present in the container. If you only want to retrieve the full tree of metadata about your container specify download_file as False.

This works similar to synapseutils.syncFromSynapse, however, this does not currently support the writing of data to a manifest TSV file. This will be a future enhancement.

Supports syncing Files, Folders, Tables, EntityViews, SubmissionViews, Datasets, DatasetCollections, MaterializedViews, and VirtualTables from Synapse. The metadata for these entity types will be populated in their respective attributes (files, folders, tables, entityviews, submissionviews, datasets, datasetcollections, materializedviews, virtualtables) if they are found within the container.

include_activity	Whether to include the activity of the files. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True
follow_link	Whether to follow a link entity or not. Links can be used to point at other Synapse entities. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False
link_hops	The number of hops to follow the link. A number of 1 is used to prevent circular references. There is nothing in place to prevent infinite loops. Be careful if setting this above 1. TYPE: int DEFAULT: 1
queue	An optional queue to use to download files in parallel. TYPE: Queue DEFAULT: None
include_types	Must be a list of entity types (ie. ["folder","file"]) which can be found here TYPE: Optional[List[str]] DEFAULT: None
synapse_client	If not passed in and caching was not disabled by Synapse.allow_client_caching(False) this will use the last created instance from the Synapse class constructor. TYPE: Optional[Synapse] DEFAULT: None

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Self	The object that was called on. This will be the same object that was called on to start the sync.

    Sync this container and all possible sub-folders from Synapse. By default this
    will download the files that are found and it will populate the
    `files` and `folders` attributes with the found files and folders, along with
    all other entity types (tables, entityviews, etc.) present in the container.
    If you only want to retrieve the full tree of metadata about your
    container specify `download_file` as False.

    This works similar to [synapseutils.syncFromSynapse][], however, this does not
    currently support the writing of data to a manifest TSV file. This will be a
    future enhancement.

    Supports syncing Files, Folders, Tables, EntityViews, SubmissionViews, Datasets,
    DatasetCollections, MaterializedViews, and VirtualTables from Synapse. The
    metadata for these entity types will be populated in their respective
    attributes (`files`, `folders`, `tables`, `entityviews`, `submissionviews`,
    `datasets`, `datasetcollections`, `materializedviews`, `virtualtables`) if
    they are found within the container.

    Arguments:
        path: An optional path where the file hierarchy will be reproduced. If not
            specified the files will by default be placed in the synapseCache.
        recursive: Whether or not to recursively get the entire hierarchy of the
            folder and sub-folders.
        download_file: Whether to download the files found or not.
        if_collision: Determines how to handle file collisions. May be

            - `overwrite.local`
            - `keep.local`
            - `keep.both`
        failure_strategy: Determines how to handle failures when retrieving children
            under this Folder and an exception occurs.
        include_activity: Whether to include the activity of the files.
        follow_link: Whether to follow a link entity or not. Links can be used to
            point at other Synapse entities.
        link_hops: The number of hops to follow the link. A number of 1 is used to
            prevent circular references. There is nothing in place to prevent
            infinite loops. Be careful if setting this above 1.
        queue: An optional queue to use to download files in parallel.
        include_types: Must be a list of entity types (ie. ["folder","file"]) which
            can be found
            [here](https://rest-docs.synapse.org/rest/org/sagebionetworks/repo/model/EntityType.html)
        synapse_client: If not passed in and caching was not disabled by
            `Synapse.allow_client_caching(False)` this will use the last created
            instance from the Synapse class constructor.

    Returns:
        The object that was called on. This will be the same object that was called on
            to start the sync.

    Example: Using this function
        Suppose I want to walk the immediate children of a folder without downloading the files:

        ```python
        from synapseclient import Synapse
        from synapseclient.models import Folder

        syn = Synapse()
        syn.login()

        my_folder = Folder(id="syn12345")
        my_folder.sync_from_synapse(download_file=False, recursive=False)

        for folder in my_folder.folders:
            print(folder.name)

        for file in my_folder.files:
            print(file.name)

        for table in my_folder.tables:
            print(table.name)

        for dataset in my_folder.datasets:
            print(dataset.name)
        ```

        Suppose I want to download the immediate children of a folder:

        ```python
        from synapseclient import Synapse
        from synapseclient.models import Folder

        syn = Synapse()
        syn.login()

        my_folder = Folder(id="syn12345")
        my_folder.sync_from_synapse(path="/path/to/folder", recursive=False)

        for folder in my_folder.folders:
            print(folder.name)

        for file in my_folder.files:
            print(file.name)
        ```

        Suppose I want to sync only specific entity types from a Project:

        ```python
        from synapseclient import Synapse
        from synapseclient.models import Project

        syn = Synapse()
        syn.login()

        my_project = Project(id="syn12345")
        my_project.sync_from_synapse(
            path="/path/to/folder",
            include_types=["folder", "file", "table", "dataset"]
        )

        # Access different entity types
        for table in my_project.tables:
            print(f"Table: {table.name}")

        for dataset in my_project.datasets:
            print(f"Dataset: {dataset.name}")
        ```

        Suppose I want to download all the children of a Project and all sub-folders and files:

        ```python
        from synapseclient import Synapse
        from synapseclient.models import Project

        syn = Synapse()
        syn.login()

        my_project = Project(id="syn12345")
        my_project.sync_from_synapse(path="/path/to/folder")
        ```


    Raises:
        ValueError: If the folder does not have an id set.

List the Access Control Lists (ACLs) for this entity and optionally its children.

This function returns the local sharing settings for the entity and optionally its children. It provides a mapping of all ACLs for the given container/entity.

Important Note: This function returns the LOCAL sharing settings only, not the effective permissions that each Synapse User ID/Team has on the entities. More permissive permissions could be granted via a Team that the user has access to that has permissions on the entity, or through inheritance from parent entities.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
recursive	If True and the entity is a container (e.g., Project or Folder), recursively process child containers. Note that this must be used with include_container_content=True to have any effect. Setting recursive=True with include_container_content=False will raise a ValueError. Only works on classes that support the sync_from_synapse_async method. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False
include_container_content	If True, include ACLs from contents directly within containers (files and folders inside self). This must be set to True for recursive to have any effect. Defaults to False. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False
target_entity_types	Specify which entity types to process when listing ACLs. Allowed values are "folder" and "file" (case-insensitive). If None, defaults to ["folder", "file"]. TYPE: Optional[List[str]] DEFAULT: None
log_tree	If True, logs the ACL results to console in ASCII tree format showing entity hierarchies and their ACL permissions in a tree-like structure. Defaults to False. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False
synapse_client	If not passed in and caching was not disabled by Synapse.allow_client_caching(False) this will use the last created instance from the Synapse class constructor. TYPE: Optional[Synapse] DEFAULT: None
_progress_bar	Internal parameter. Progress bar instance to use for updates when called recursively. Should not be used by external callers. TYPE: Optional[tqdm] DEFAULT: None

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
AclListResult	An AclListResult object containing a structured representation of ACLs where:
AclListResult	entity_acls: A list of EntityAcl objects, each representing one entity's ACL
AclListResult	Each EntityAcl contains acl_entries (a list of AclEntry objects)
AclListResult	Each AclEntry contains the principal_id and their list of permissions

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
ValueError	If the entity does not have an ID or if an invalid entity type is provided.
SynapseHTTPError	If there are permission issues accessing ACLs.
Exception	For any other errors that may occur during the process.

    List the Access Control Lists (ACLs) for this entity and optionally its children.

    This function returns the local sharing settings for the entity and optionally
    its children. It provides a mapping of all ACLs for the given container/entity.

    **Important Note:** This function returns the LOCAL sharing settings only, not
    the effective permissions that each Synapse User ID/Team has on the entities.
    More permissive permissions could be granted via a Team that the user has access
    to that has permissions on the entity, or through inheritance from parent entities.

    Arguments:
        recursive: If True and the entity is a container (e.g., Project or Folder),
            recursively process child containers. Note that this must be used with
            include_container_content=True to have any effect. Setting recursive=True
            with include_container_content=False will raise a ValueError.
            Only works on classes that support the `sync_from_synapse_async` method.
        include_container_content: If True, include ACLs from contents directly within
            containers (files and folders inside self). This must be set to
            True for recursive to have any effect. Defaults to False.
        target_entity_types: Specify which entity types to process when listing ACLs.
            Allowed values are "folder" and "file" (case-insensitive).
            If None, defaults to ["folder", "file"].
        log_tree: If True, logs the ACL results to console in ASCII tree format showing
            entity hierarchies and their ACL permissions in a tree-like structure.
            Defaults to False.
        synapse_client: If not passed in and caching was not disabled by
            `Synapse.allow_client_caching(False)` this will use the last created
            instance from the Synapse class constructor.
        _progress_bar: Internal parameter. Progress bar instance to use for updates
            when called recursively. Should not be used by external callers.

    Returns:
        An AclListResult object containing a structured representation of ACLs where:
        - entity_acls: A list of EntityAcl objects, each representing one entity's ACL
        - Each EntityAcl contains acl_entries (a list of AclEntry objects)
        - Each AclEntry contains the principal_id and their list of permissions

    Raises:
        ValueError: If the entity does not have an ID or if an invalid entity type is provided.
        SynapseHTTPError: If there are permission issues accessing ACLs.
        Exception: For any other errors that may occur during the process.

    Example: List ACLs for a single entity

Delete the entire Access Control List (ACL) for a given Entity. This is not scoped to a specific user or group, but rather removes all permissions associated with the Entity. After this operation, the Entity will inherit permissions from its benefactor, which is typically its parent entity or the Project it belongs to.

In order to remove permissions for a specific user or group, you should use the set_permissions method with the access_type set to an empty list.

By default, Entities such as FileEntity and Folder inherit their permission from their containing Project. For such Entities the Project is the Entity's 'benefactor'. This permission inheritance can be overridden by creating an ACL for the Entity. When this occurs the Entity becomes its own benefactor and all permission are determined by its own ACL.

If the ACL of an Entity is deleted, then its benefactor will automatically be set to its parent's benefactor.

Special notice for Projects: The ACL for a Project cannot be deleted, you must individually update or revoke the permissions for each user or group.

This does not affect the entity type of the current entity, which is always processed if include_self=True. TYPE: Optional[List[str]] DEFAULT: None
dry_run	If True, log the changes that would be made instead of actually performing the deletions. When enabled, all ACL deletion operations are simulated and logged at info level. Defaults to False. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False
show_acl_details	When dry_run=True, controls whether current ACL details are displayed for entities that will have their permissions changed. If True (default), shows detailed ACL information. If False, hides ACL details for cleaner output. Has no effect when dry_run=False. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True
show_files_in_containers	When dry_run=True, controls whether files within containers are displayed in the preview. If True (default), shows all files.
