Cannot sync with config file

[klinquist]

Describe the bug
Unable to sync with config file.

To Reproduce
Setup: Mac -> Mac.

What works fine:

osync.sh --initiator='~/code' --target="ssh://kris@IP_ADDRESS//Users/kris/code" --rsakey=~/.ssh/id_ed25519

What does not work fine:

osync.sh osync.conf with the following config file (first 25 lines to be consise)

###### osync - Rsync based two way sync engine with fault tolerance
###### (C) 2013-2019 by Orsiris de Jong (www.netpower.fr)

[GENERAL]
CONFIG_FILE_REVISION=1.3.0

## Sync job identification
INSTANCE_ID="codesync"

## Directories to synchronize.
## Initiator is the system osync runs on. The initiator directory must be a local path.
INITIATOR_SYNC_DIR="/Users/kris/code"

## Target is the system osync synchronizes to (can be the same system as the initiator in case of local sync tasks). The target directory can be a local or remote path.

TARGET_SYNC_DIR="ssh://kris@IP_ADDRESS//Users/kris/code"

## If the target system is remote, you can specify a RSA key (please use full path). If not defined, the default ~/.ssh/id_rsa will be used. See documentation for further information.
SSH_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY="/Users/kris/.ssh/id_ed25519"

## Alternatively, you may specify an SSH password file (less secure). Needs sshpass utility installed.
SSH_PASSWORD_FILE=""

## When using ssh filter, you must specify a remote token matching the one setup in authorized_keys
#_REMOTE_TOKEN=SomeAlphaNumericToken9

Sorry, I have no Mac currently to have that tested.
Would you mind giving me the (filtered) output file generated by the following command line ?

_DEBUG=true sh -x osync.sh --initiator='~/code' --target="ssh://kris@IP_ADDRESS//Users/kris/code" --rsakey=~/.ssh/id_ed25519 > output 2>&1

[klinquist]

output.txt

First few thousand lines...

[deajan]

Hmmm... The output.txt file does not contain the prior errors (except of the first ones which are pretty normal while trying to guess host OS).

I'll have a hard time getting to diagnose this without a Mac, which I won't invest into.
Is there any VM image or "cloud mac" or whatever you could recommend to have a test environment mac ?

[deajan]

Can't fix that one without a mac VM.
