- For testing purposes, it's useful to load a module externally
and then register it to the ModuleManager (this hands off ownership).
- Refactor overall module loading to use the exposed single-module method.
- It is the requirements model (checking) that reports progress, and now
the model is accessible (ask for it with requirementsModel(), make the
messages come from there.
- The architecture of letting someone build up a list of requirements
from data emitted by the ModuleManager is broken: if it gets loaded
later, it will miss data; passing around complicated objects is
no fun anyway. Get rid of it, on the way to "ModuleManager has
its own model of requirements".
- Give the ModuleManager a RequirementsModel -- that is the source
of truth about the module-requirements of the modules managed
by that particular ModuleManager.
- Let the RequirementsChecker operate on a given RequirementsModel.
- the checker only collects and calls requirements; it has no
UI component, and only manages data (and a thread to do the
checking). Move it out of the UI library.
- this function lives in Module -- and is the only thing typing
Module to the ViewSteps and JobTypes. Split it out into its
own funciton. Nothing else in Module needs to befriend the
ViewSteps, so we move the friend declaration around a bit
as well.
- while here, apply coding style.
This is prep-work for moving module to libcalamares.
- this is currently just an alias for QVariantMap, which is
the type already in use.
- future plan is to tighten this up and have an actual
Descriptor class that carries only the information
actually needed for the module descriptor.
- Replace stringlist with a stronger-typed list of InstanceKey objects
- Move smashing-that-to-stringlist into consumers of the list
(just one, the debug window)
- If a module exists, and has unmet dependencies, then
that is only a problem if the module itself is *used*.
Merely existing is ok.
This triggers on FreeBSD, where partition isn't built, but
bootloader depends on partition -- so you can never start
Calamares on FreeBSD, because bootloader depends on something
non-existent.
Relax the check: just warn, and only fail if a non-existent
module is used (all those with unmet dependencies are considered
non-existent).
- Calamares scans **all** subdirs of the module-directory
for a module.desc and complains about those that don't have
a module.desc.
- For ./calamares -d runs from the build-directory, this
leads to a few complaints when some plugins have been
ignored (and so no module.desc is generated for them).
- Things in libcalamares/ subdirectories are namespaced
according to that subdirectory (sometimes in namespace
Calamares, sometimes CalamaresUtils). Do that in modulesystem/ too.
- Currently just moves a single enum, but this is prep-work for
moving the non-GUI parts of the module system into libcalamares,
to better support GUI-less operation.
- Use only utils/YamlUtils.h to pull in yaml-cpp and supporting code.
- When compiling with clang, turn off warnings that the system header
for yaml-cpp would generate.
- Avoid crash due to invalid iterator, when modules
are removed due to missing requirements.
- Simplify code, factor out the determination of
which required modules are missing.
- Move the actual checking into a separate object with some lifecycle-
management signals.
- Right now this is still single-threaded and blocking, so no net gain.
- There is more to failing out of loadModules() than just
emitting modulesFailed, so instead share the failure
code with the code after loading modules -- but don't load any.
- Module dependency-checking is done in two phases:
first, catch any unknown modules that are listed
in *requiredModules* and bail out before loading
anything. Second, check that the modules required
by X occur before X in the sequence.
