This might not be the best way to do things, but it is very flexible and
allows TDs to determine the behaviour in their own job compiler script.
It doesn't allow a preview of "this is what the final render path will be"
in the Blender GUI though.
4196460c29a607e1d3d2d052bf2bf546d5c05616 changed the name of the job
setting used to communicate the input blend file path, but the tests
weren't updated for this.
The add-on code was copy-pasted from other addons and used the GPL v2
license, whereas by accident the LICENSE text file had the GNU "Affero" GPL
license v3 (instead of regular GPL v3).
This is now all streamlined, and all code is licensed as "GPL v3 or later".
Furthermore, the code comments just show a SPDX License Identifier
instead of an entire license block.
The root cause was a 2nd `context.Context()` that was used in
`constructTestJob()`, which cancelled when that function returned.
The cancellation of the context caused an interrupt in the SQLite
driver, which got into a race condition and could cause an interrupt on
a subsequent database query.
Instead of returning an error "error doing X", just return "doing X". The
fact that it's returned as an error object says enough about that it's
an error.
This also makes it easier to chain error messages, without seeing the
word "error" in every part of the chain.
Both Go's standard `path` and `path/filepath` packages are too limiting to
work well for Flamenco. The former assumes Linux/POSIX paths, the latter
only works with platform-native paths. Neither can work with Windows paths
on Linux, or Linux paths on Windows.
The on-disk database that was used before caused issues with tests running
in parallel. Not only is there the theoretical issue of tests seeing each
other's data (this didn't happen, but could), there was also the practical
issue of one test running while the other tried to erase the database file
(which fails on Windows due to file locking).
Where the PostgreSQL DB migration code could handle `NOT NULL` columns just
fine, SQLite has less table-altering functionality. As a result, migrations
have to copy entire database tables, which doesn't play well with
not-nullable columns.
The build chain got a bit confused when doing things from scratch, as
`test_support.go` was used in the non-test builds. Renaming it to
`support_test.go` was the easiest way to avoid that.
Direct copy of the Flamenco Server Python code, for handling the change
of a job's status to trigger status changes on its tasks.
Not yet connected to the rest of the Manager logic.
The task status change → job status change code is a direct port of the
Flamenco Server v2 code written in Python.
There is no job status change → task status changes logic yet, and the
tests are also far from complete.
