Allow modules to include a module_exports.lua file in their root which
will cause the file save/modules/module_name.lua to be generated
pointing to the exports file.
Map locale files located at locale/{lang}/{file} in a module to
locale/{lang}/{module-name}-{file} in the save. This additionally
support a shorthand notation by mapping locale/{lange}.cfg to
locale/{lang}/{module-name}.cfg.

The unknown status happens when an instance is on a host that has
disconnected, but since alt-host is not spawned in the tests on
Windows this status is not observed.
On Windows require paths use a mix of forward and backward slashes due
to require path possibly being a package path which can't have backward
slashes, or a Windows file path which can have have either. Fix plugin
loader test failing on Windows due to not using the same combination of
forward and backward slashes for require file paths.
Only the controller has access to the secret needed to sign user tokens
so it makes sense for the user signing code to live in the controller.
This saves about 20ms on the time ctl takes to start up due to lib no
longer needing to import jsonwebtoken.
Move all functions and classes currently available through lib/name and
libName to be under a single flat namespace in lib. This make
reorganising the lib namespace much simpler as the location of symbols
can move without breaking the consumers of lib.
The multi-entrypoint design was already problematic for the web plugin
system which couldn't effectively use it due to how webpack's shared
module system is awkward to set up with multiple entrypoints per package.
Update non-web related dependencies to their latest version were
possible. It appears yargs has changed its parsing of command line
options to no longer remove a layer of quotes.
It makes more sense to put the address first then have the large
structure to send as the second argument to sendTo. The opposite order
was originally chosen to be similar to that of sendto in BSD sockets.
Format arguments to have nested structures start on a new line instead
of inline to make it easier to see where the structures starts and what
structure it is.
Validate messages received on the controller from hosts and control
nodes before handling or forwarding them. This should prevent
performing actions that are not allowed by the role system and block
simple attacks such as spoofing the source address of a message.
Split up the action of registring an event or request data class to be
decoded by the Link class and the action of registring a handler for
those requests and events. This moves the validation work from Link
instantiation time to startup initialisation which makes logic errors
fail on startup instead of failing instantiation of the link when a
connection attempt is made.
Additionally implement a partial validation logic for messages received
using the newly refactored message registration. This unfortunately
ended up merged with the registration refactor.
Reverse the direction of the API for sending messages from
messageDefinition.send(link, { content });
to
link.send(new MessageClass(content));
and convert all message definitions to use the JSON serialisable class
pattern and explicit registration of message handlers, along with a
end-to-end based routing of messages instead of link to link.
The experience I gained from the existing way messages were defined and
sent over links was that it was difficult to understand for people
unfamiliar with the system. The automatic registration of message
handlers ment that code was being called as if by magic from nowhere
with no easy way to discover it. The manual forwarding and rules for
what can be sent where and how obscured its working.
The use of pure JSON as both input and output from message handlers made
it tedious to work with. Data had to be manually converted between the
program representation and the over the wire format, which made handler
code unplesant to write. Particularly because the over the wire format
used snake_case while the program code uses camelCase for variables.
The idea behind the decision to do it this way was to make it more clear
which data came from the wire and which from the program, and while this
worked it didn't make message handlers any nicer to write.
The direction of the API and magic registration of message handlers also
meant that a future migration to TypeScript would be troublesome. While
it may be possible to implement, the degree of TypeScript magic required
would go starkly against the principle of keep it simple stupid.
By refactoring to using the JSON serialisable class pattern most of
these issues go away. There is no longer a need to distinguish the on
wire format of messages with the program representation because the only
place that deals with the wire format of messages are the toJSON and
fromJSON methods on the classes themselves. Message handlers will work
with proper instances of classes instead of raw data, something that
makes them easier to write, and trivial to type with TypeScript.
End-to-end routing also simplifies sending messages that need to do
mulitple hops to reach the destination. And removes the need for having
all messages be specified in plugin's info module, as they can be routed
without having to be parsed completely.
The explicit registration of message handlers is something that I
thought would be tedious boilerplate code that could be automated away.
But experience now shows it to be the opposite. Allthough dull
repetition, the purpose it serves is to link together the code in a way
that humans can easily find. With explicit registration searching the
name of the message handler in the editor will show the registration that
ties it together with the type of message it handles and the kind of
registration. With implicit registration searching the name of the
message handler turns up only the handler with no clue as to what calls
it.
Change the JSON seriasiable data classes to use an explicit static
fromJSON method and an optional toJSON method for turning them to and
from JSON.
This improves over the previous pattern of passing the JSON to the
constructor as it frees up the constructor to be able to take whichever
argument types suits the code instead of being beholden to the JSON
serialised form.
The role of a slave as a host for Factorio servers is not well reflected
in its name and has caused confusion among users. Rename slave to host
to better reflect its role as a host of Factorio servers.
The role of the master server as the party controlling every part of the
cluster is not well reflected in its name and has caused confusion among
users on several occasions. Rename master to controller to better
reflects its role.
Track summary statistic of total HTTP response durations using a
middleware that applies for all requests instead of having every request
needing to update the hit counter manually. Deprecates
endpointHitCounter.
Check that Master/Instance/Control plugins export the correct class and
that this class is a subclass of the correct base class. This gives a
better user experience when plugins are incorrectly set up and loads a
duplicated clusterio/lib, and when accidentally using the wrong name
when developing plugins.
Add missing mod settings set to their default values to a mod pack when
performing a data export based on the settings prototypes that were
extracted from the game. This mirrors the behaviour of Factorio when new
setting prototypes are added by a mod.
Updates to Node.js error reporting have caused tests to fail due to them
being hardcoded to expect a certain format that has since changed. Fix
by making Node.js create the error message for us.
Store the export manifest in ModPack to allow mulitple mod packs to have
different data exported. This is necessary as the export contains the
settings prototypes needed to create a proper UI for mod settings.
For now the useLocale and useItemMetadata interfaces uses the manifest
for a default mod pack set in the master config.
