Upgrade Tabulator, hopefully this fixes some issues where the job list
would show black (no items shown, but the scrollbar is still there as if
all the items still exist; scrolling up & down would fix it).
The Shaman Checkout ID setter shouldn't update a job's "updated at"
timestamp. Its goal is to fake that the job was submitted with a new
enough Flamenco version, and thus should not touch the timestamps.
This is a command that can be run to retroactively set the Shaman
Checkout ID of jobs, allowing the job deletion to also remove the job's
Shaman checkout directory.
This is highly experimental, and not built by default or shipped with
Flamenco releases. It's only been used once at Blender Animation Studio
to help cleaning up. Run at your own risk. Make backups first.
- 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.
Add a "what-would-delete-do" operation, to query the Manager about what
the deletion of a specific job would entail. For some jobs the job files
will also be deleted (if they were created with a new enough Flamenco),
otherwise they will remain untouched.
Also expand the `SocketIOJobUpdate` schema to include info about job
deletion.
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 fields to the job schemas (`SubmittedJob` and `Job`) to allow
storing the shaman checkout ID (so the Shaman checkout can be deleted
along with the job later).
Job preparation (that is, constructing the data to be sent to the Flamenco
API) shouldn't fail, but in case it does, it should stop the rest of the
submission process.
Manager had a limit of 10 MB, but the Worker can produce images that are
larger than that (even after down-scaling the image). I've bumped the
limit to 25 MB, which should be enough (it's 2x the bug reporter's file
size).
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.
Expand the 'Variables' page so that it links to the two-way variables
page from within the body of text. Having the link in only the side-bar
was too easy to miss.
Move the "Custom Job Types" expandable section to its own, normal
section.
The expandable sections in the docs aren't that clear, visually. It's
easy to miss that they can be expanded. This was the only use of this
feature.
Add support for Blender's `use_all_linked_data_direct` experimental
option. This is a workaround for an issue with BAT, for which a quick
solution is required by the Blender Studio (production crunch).
Flamenco writes the `.flamenco.blend` file with
`preferences.experimental.use_all_linked_data_direct` set to `True`, so
that BAT has an easier time finding linked assets.
Run `PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL` and `PRAGMA synchronous = normal` when
connecting to the SQLite database. This enables the write-ahead-log journal
mode, which makes it safe to enable "normal" synchronisation (instead of
the default "full" synchronisation).
When a command (like `blender` or `ffmpeg`) outputs lines that are longer
than our buffer, they are broken into buffer-sized chunks. Extra code has
been added to ensure those chunks consist of valid UTF-8 characters.
The preview video task would attempt to use JPEG preview files when the
"Preview" checkbox is checked, even when this checkbox is not shown in
Blender's UI (when the output format is not EXR). Blender still stores
this property, even when it's unused, and that's what tripped up the job
compiler.
The "Simple Blender Render" job type now first checks whether the previews
are necessary at all, and only then uses them.
