- Add a little confirmation overlay before deleting a job. This overlay
also shows information about whether the Shaman checkout directory
will be deleted or not.
- Send job updates to the web frontend when jobs are marked for
deletion, and when they are actually deleted.
- Respond to those updates, and handle some corner cases where job info
is missing (because it just got deleted).
This closes T99401.
Show jobs that have been marked for deletion with a red strike-through
line in the jobs table, and show the deletion-request timestamp in the
job details.
Implement the `deleteJob` API endpoint. Calling this endpoint will mark
the job as "deletion requested", after which it's queued for actual
deletion. This makes the API response fast, even when there is a lot of
work to do in the background.
A new background service "job deleter" keeps track of the queue of such
jobs, and performs the actual deletion. It removes:
- Shaman checkout for the job (but see below)
- Manager-local files of the job (task logs, last-rendered images)
- The job itself
The removal is done in the above order, so the job is only removed from the
database if the rest of the removal was succesful.
Shaman checkouts are only removed if the job was submitted with Flamenco
version 3.2. Earlier versions did not record enough information to reliably
do this.
If Shaman is used to submit the job files, store the job's checkout ID
(i.e. the path relative to the checkout root) in the database. This will
make it possible in the future to remove the Shaman checkout along with
the job itself.
Add a timeout when fetching a job from the persistence layers.
It's my intention to add more timeouts, so this also introduces some code
to make it easier to test that a context has a deadline set.
Deduplicate API implementation code to fetch a job from the persistence
service.
Almost no functional changes. Checking that the requested job UUID is
actually a valid UUID is now consistently done on all fetches. This is
not a functional change in normal Flamenco operations, where only valid
UUIDs are used anyway.
The two-way variable replacement function changes the submitted job. To
clarify that this happens, pass the pointer `&submittedJob`.
Both pass-by-pointer and pass-by-value work, because the variable
replacement typically works on maps/slices, which are passed by reference
anyway. Better to be explicit about this, though.
No functional changes.
Fix an issue where workers would switch immediately on a state change
request, even if it was of the "after task is finished" kind.
The "may I keep running" endpoint wasn't checking the lazyness flag, and
thus any state change, lazy or otherwise, would interrupt the worker's
current task.
The priority of an existing can now be changed. It will be taken into
account when assigning tasks to workers, but it will not reassign tasks
that are already active.
Blender not being found can be reported via various errors (this should be
reworked in the 'blender finder API' at some point). `exec.ErrNotFound` is
returned when Blender cannot be found on `$PATH`, which is something that's
absolutely fine. This is now logged less dramatically.
Avoid the word "error" in logging when Blender cannot be found. Typically
these are warnings, and having the word "error" there makes people think
otherwise.
When a submitted job is refused because of a mismatched etag, there is
now a more explanatory error logged on the Manager. The website also has
an entry in the FAQ for this, as I expect more people to run into this
issue when they upgrade Flamenco.
Implement the `getSharedStorage` operation in the Manager, and use it in
the add-on to get the shared storage location in a way that makes sense
for the platform of the user.
Manifest task: T100196
Split "executable" from "its arguments" in blender & ffmpeg commands.
Use `{blenderArgs}` variable to hold the default Blender arguments,
instead of having both the executable and its arguments in `{blender}`.
The reason for this is to support backslashes in the Blender executable
path. These were interpreted as escape characters by the shell lexer.
The shell lexer based splitting is now only performed on the default
arguments, with the result that `C:\Program Files\Blender
Foundation\3.3\blender.exe` is now a valid value for `{blender}`.
This does mean that this is backward incompatible change, and that it
requires setting up Flamenco Manager again, and that older jobs will not
be able to be rerun.
It is recommended to remove `flamenco-manager.yaml`, restart Flamenco
Manager, and reconfigure via the setup assistant.
Two-way variable replacement now also changes the path separators. Since
the two-way replacement is made for paths, it makes sense to also clean up
the path for the target platform.
Workers can now be soft-deleted. Tasks assigned to the worker will remain
associated with that Worker. Active tasks will be re-queued so other
workers can pick them up.
The Manager now broadcasts a worker update to SocketIO clients when a
worker gets a new task assigned. This ensures the "current task" shown in
the worker details view is up to date.
The etag prevents job submissions with old settings, when the job
compiler script has been edited. The etag is the SHA1 hash of the
`JOB_TYPE` dictionary (as defined by the JavaScript file). The hash is
computed in a way that's independent of the exact formatting in the
JavaScript file. Also the actual JS code itself is irrelevant, just the
`JOB_TYPE` dictionary is used.
Include `RELEASE_CYCLE` in the Makefile. This is mentioned at startup of
Manager and Worker, and reflects in the software version they report.
If `RELEASE_CYCLE == "release"`, Manager and Worker report their version
as `ApplicationVersion`. If it's any other string, the Git hash will get
appended.
When a worker's tasks get requeued because it goes to sleep, the task log
will now mention the worker identification (name + UUID). This aids in
figuring out what happened to tasks.
The Task details component already linked to the Worker it was assigned
to last, and now the Worker links back to the task.
There's only one task shown in the Worker details. If the Worker is
actively working on a task, that one's shown. Otherwise it's the
last-updated task that was assigned to the worker.
This commit does not introduce functional changes, besides renaming
every mention of 'wizard' with 'setup assistant'. In order to run the
manager setup assistant use:
./flamenco-manager -setup-assistant
The change was introduced to favor more neutral and descriptive working
for this functionality. Thanks to Sybren for helping to get this done!
* Replace "OK!" with "successfully"
Remove exclamation mark since there is no need to call for attention.
Use "successfully" as it is more descriptive in this case than OK,
which can have other meanings.
- Added initial description and illustration
- Swap "Check" button for fields with a debounced @input event
- Turn Blender's list into a radio selector
- Tweak wording when paths are not found
- Add microtip library for tooltips
- Make navigation steps clickable, according to the state
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.
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.
