When messages were forwarded they were sent using the low level
connector .send method which accepts a message and sends it over the
link. This method sends the message as is with no modification which
means that at no point during the forwarding logic was the message
sequence number that originated from Link A renumbered to the correct
sequence number to send out on Link B which it was forwarded on.
This in turn caused the logic which drops acked messages from the send
buffer to break which in turn meant the resume could cause duplication
of message and/or messages to be lost. With enough duplicated messages
the resume of one connection could cause other connections to drop and
also initiate resume.
Fix by renumbering the sequence on forwarded messages. In the future
the sequences sent and received should also be checked to make sure this
kind of problem does not happen again, this is not done here because
partially updating a running cluster with sequence problems to one that
checks and enforces sequences numbers will be problematic.
When host and instance id in Address was reordered in 1e66f11 the
toString method Address was updated to account for this. Fix toString
showing host addresses as being instance addresses and vice versa.
When a plugin broadcasts an event to instances there may be hosts and
instances in the cluster which does not have the plugin loaded. This
would cause an error to be logged for every instance which does not have
the plugin loaded.
Filter out broadcast events sent to hosts and instances such that
instances and hosts that does not have the event do not received them.
If during the startup of an instance the Factorio server is started up
to create a new save and the host shutdown in initiated then the
instance will be commanded to stop while the FactorioServer state is
"create". This was was not handled by Instance.stop leaving the
child_process running after the host is done shutting down.
Kill the FactorioServer on stop if the current state of it is stopping
or create to make sure the server actually stops.
When a request is forwarded from a virtual link to a WebSocket link as
is the case when an instance sends a request to the controller the
origin for the request is a virtual link. Handle this case in
_clearPendingRequests instead of throwing an assertion error.
Track the number of requests currently awaiting a response from a
request handler both from interally issued requests and requests
forwarded from other parties.
Fix installer incorrectly exiting with a conflicting options errors when
the --no-download-headless option was used in conjunction with the
--factorio-dir option.
If a plugin only has entrypoints at the controller level the config will
skip adding a "load_plugin" config option for the given plugin to avoid
making options that do nothing. If such a plugin is added to a host it
will still reach loadPlugin which in turn tries to check the load_plugin
config and throw an error on startup due the field being missing.
Skip trying to load plugins without an entrypoint at the instance or
host level in hosts before checking the load_plugin config field.
Add a note about double checking which version of Node.js is installed
to avoid accidentally updating on an outdated version, and fix migrate
arguments.
Add suffixes like Ms and Ns to variables whos time unit is not in
seconds. This is aligning with a new code style of putting units
on variables that are not in SI base units.
The logical order of clusterio's components are in most places
controller, host, instance, control. It is confusing that Address
breaks this convention and I do not remember I wrote it that way.
Reorder and renumber the host and instance members of Address to
be consistent with most other places.
The entrypoint of plugins were changed in 50f12c7 and b0f6c95 but the
installer's loading of plugin info to get the correct plugin name was
not updated for these changes. Update installer plugin loading to use
the correct entrypoint.
The place for storing mods was changed from sharedMods to mods when mod
management was implemented. Rename the old sharedMods folder to mods
when the migration script is invoked.
Change the expected exported name of plugin declarations to be "plugin"
at the main entrypoint instead of the default export. This makes the
plugin's code organisation more flexible especially when using CommonJS
JavaScript modules as they can export additional symbols from the
plugin declaration file.
Implement remotely initiated stopping and restarting of the controller
and hosts. Restarting is implemented by exiting with a non-zero exit
code and relying on a process manager to start the procress again. To
prevent accidentally trying to restart on a system that doesn't have a
process manager present the --can-restart command line option needs to
be passed to enable the restart operation.
The create.js script in development mode used to use hard coded paths to
the other cluster commands (ctl, controller etc.). This means that in
dev mode a cluster could only be created from the root directory of the
project.
By using relative paths one can also create a cluster in a subdirectory.
For example by using the following:
mkdir test-cluster
cd test-cluster
node ../packages/create --dev
Record the time a player was first seen joining an instance in
PlayerStats. For existing stats this value is set to the last
joined time when it is first loaded.
Add custom input component support to the Web UI config in order to
provide a user friendly dropdown selector for the Mod Pack that is
configured as default on the controller and overridden instances.
