Two-way variable implementation in the job submission end-point. Where
Flamenco v2 did the variable replacement in the add-on, this has now
been moved to the Manager itself. The only thing the add-on needs to
pass is its platform, so that the right values can be recognised.
This also implements two-way replacement when tasks are handed out, such
that the `{jobs}` value gets replaced to a value suitable for the
Worker's platform as well.
Add a line to the task log whenever task changes status. This only applies
to directly-changed tasks, and not to mass-updates (like all tasks going
from 'completed' to 'queued' on a job requeue).
When a Worker changes state from `awake` to something else, it cannot
run tasks any more. This now triggers a requeue of its active task
(should be one at most, if things are sane) so that another worker can pick
it up.
SQLite often errors out on this with only `interrupted (9)` as message.
This logging should at least tell us whether it's our own "background
context" timing out, or whether something else fishy is going on.
Fix workers timing out when they're `asleep`. When sleeping, the Worker
will call the `WorkerState` operation to see if they have to wake up, but
that didn't mark the workers as "seen". As a result, a sleeping worker
would always time out.
Run some API operations in a background context. This should prevent some
of the SQLite "interrupted" errors, as those can occur when the context
closes while a query is running.
The API operations that Workers use are now mostly running in a separate
background context, at least from the moment onward when they can run
independently of the Worker connection.
Every time the web interface starts, it queries the config to see whether
it should be in first-time-wizard mode or not. This caused unnecessary
info-level logging.
In the future it would be better to load the config file just once,
instead.
For some reason, on Windows, creating a directory with zero permissions
still allows creating a file in there. Just skip that part of the test.
The Explorer's properties panel of the directory also shows "Read Only
(only applies to files)", so at least that seems consistent.
Be more selective in what's saved to the database to speed some things up.
Most importantly, this avoids saving the entire job when a task status is
updated or a task is assigned.
Add a SHA256 password hasher for worker authentication. It's not used at
the moment, but can be switched to for faster API queries. Note that
switching will cause authentication errors on already-existing workers,
which means they'll automatically re-register.
This is mostly useful for debugging & profiling purposes.
Move the Worker password hashing/comparison functions into a struct, and
use it via an interface. This will make it easier to switch to different
hashing algorithms.
Even with a low number of iterations, BCrypt is quite slow. That's good for
security, but not for Flamenco Worker authentication -- the password is
more as "nice check to avoid accidentally reusing the same ID" than
something for security.
In the first-time wizard, if Blender cannot be found on $PATH but it can
be found via .blend file association, that should just be reported as a
normal sitation, and not as a `500 Internal Server Error`.
Trigger the first-time wizard on first-time runs of Flamenco, by defaulting
the storage path to the empty string.
The wizard can always be triggered with the `-wizard` CLI argument. This is
just for detection of first-time / unconfigured runs.
This just updates the config and saves it to `flamenco-manager.yaml`.
Saving the configuration doesn't restart the Manager yet, that's for
another commit.
This adds a `-wizard` CLI option to the Manager, which opens a webbrowser
and shows the First-Time Wizard to aid in configuration of Flamenco.
This is work in progress. The wizard is just one page, and doesn't save
anything yet to the configuration.
Manager always creates an implicit variable `{jobs}`. This used to be
Shaman-dependent, but now it's always there (has been for a while). This
is now reflected in an add-on comment, and in an extra unit test.
The task logs storage system is refactored to use the `local_storage`
package. Configuration options have also changed:
- `task_logs_path` is renamed to `local_manager_storage_path`, to
emphasise that only the Manager deals with those files, with default
value `./flamenco-manager-storage`.
- `storage_path` is renamed to `shared_storage_path`, to emphasise this
is the storage shared between Manager and Workers, with default value
`./flamenco-shared-storage`.
Task logs are still stored in
`${local_manager_storage_path}/job-{jobUUID[0:4]}/{jobUUID}/task-{taskUUID}.txt`
Manifest task: T99409
Various config sections were commented out, because they were brought in
from Flamenco 2 but weren't implemented yet. These have now been removed,
as the basic functionality is there, and new functionality will likely
be different from Flamenco 2 anyway.
In the `simple-blender-render` job type settings, hide the `chunk_size`
setting from the web frontend, and show the `blendfile` setting instead.
The actual blend file being rendered is important to know, whereas the
chunk size can be inferred from the task names anyway.
Add a "Last Rendered" view to the webapp.
The Manager now stores (in the database) which job was the last
recipient of a rendered image, and serves that to the appropriate
OpenAPI endpoint.
A new SocketIO subscription + accompanying room makes it possible for
the web interface to receive all rendered images (if they survive the
queue, which discards images when it gets too full).
