By accident I made the worker load `flamenco-worker.yaml` from the "local
files" directory (~/.local/share/flamenco on Linux) instead of the current
directory. This was incorrect, as that file is meant to contain
configuration that's shared between workers.
* 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.
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.
On Windows, store files in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Flamenco`.
Previously the `Blender Foundation` part of the path was missing.
Manifest Task: T99415
Change the location where the Worker writes its local files so that it
follows the XDG specification (instead of writing to the current working
directory).
- Linux: `$HOME/.local/share/flamenco`
- Windows: `C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Flamenco`
- macOS: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/Flamenco`
NOTE: The old files will not be loaded any more. This means that if
nothing is done and the new worker is run as-is, it will reregister as a
brand new worker. Move `flamenco-worker-credentials.yaml` and
`flamenco-worker.sqlite` to the new location to avoid this.
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.
Improve the "my own URLs" construction, such that:
- IPv6 link-local addresses are always skipped. They require a "zone index"
string, typically the interface name, so something like
`[fe80::cafe:f00d%eth0]`. This is not supported by web browsers, so the
URLs would be of limited use. Furthermore, they require the interface
name of the side initiating the connection, whereas this code is used to
answer the question "how can this machine be reached as a server?"
- IPv4 addresses are sorted before IPv6 addresses. Even though I like IPv6
a lot, IPv4 is still more familiar to people.
- Loopback addresses (::1, 127.0.0.1) are sorted last, so that the First-
Time Wizard is most likely to use the bigger-scoped address.
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.
Build with `make stresser`. Run with:
./stresser -worker UUID -secret ABCXYZ
The worker ID and secret can be obtained from
`flamenco-worker-credentials.yaml`. If left empty, the stresser will
register as a new worker, and log the credentials to be used on the next
invocation.
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`.
