Add controller.autosave_interval config that specifies the frequency
which controller config, hosts, instances, users, mod packs and plugin
specific data which is held in memory should be automatically flushed to
disk if they have changed since the last time they were saved. This
prevents data loss in the event of a server crash.
Plugins can use the onSaveData hook to save its own data at the same
time as the controller does and this obsoletes making an autosave
interval in the plugin.
Resolves#523.
By default webpack-dev-middleware will refuse to delete files outside of
its working directory. This becomes dist/web in the configuration
currently set up, which means that a rebuild triggered on the watched
files will fail when declaration files are output to to dist/web_build.
Fix by moving dist/web_build to dist/web/build.
Clean up the configuration for compiling TypeScript for the Web
interface to us its own tsconfig.web.json config files and reference the
TypeScript source files directly in the configuration and imports
instead of files compiled to dist.
To properly support recompliation with TypeScript's projects feature
each package's tsconfig.web.json file is set to output the build to
dist/web_build which is then ignored in .npmignore. Webpack is still
used to create the proper build in dist/web, so this is mainly to make
TypeScipt's compiler happy but it also allows the root tsconfig.json
file to include the web interface code, meaning running the build script
now also checks the typing of the web interface.
Final part of #491.
Move BaseControllerPlugin to controller/src/BaseControllerPlugin.ts
Move BaseInstancePlugin to host/src/BaseInstancePlugin.ts
Move BaseControlPlugin to ctl/src/BaseCtlPlugin.ts
Move BaseWebPlugin to web_ui/src/BaseWebPlugin.ts
This solves the circular package dependency problem of the base plugins
needing types that are available only in the dependencies to lib.
Be consistent with the usage of tabs as indents in all JSON files in the
project. This makes it easier to configure editors to emit the right
indents when manually editing these files.
Remove extra whitespace, use more consistent spacing, add missing
semicolons, using dangling commas, break up long lines, consistent
multiline operator placement, add missing JSDoc strings and so on.

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.
- react: Update to new root rendering method
- react-router: Replace useHistory with useNavigate
- react-router: Replace <Switch> with <Routes>
- reimplement sticky notice from scratch in ModPackViewPage
- remove isomorphic-ws as it's latest version doesn't work and only
saves one line of code.
- remove import of antd.dark.css
- fix misc css breakages.
Add type object to schemas specifying properties and minItems to schemas
specifying tuples. Disable strictTuples because it's desirable to be
able to add additional items to the tuples in the future.
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.
The LTS releases for v12 and v14 are already end of life and the v16 is
end of life in under two months from now on. Bump supported version up
to v18 as it does not make sense to continue to support EOL releases.
Even if we wanted to keep supporting them, our dependencies will not.
Note that Node.js v18 is currently not avaliable via the NodeSource PPA
on Ubuntu 19.10 and below or Debian 9 and below.
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.
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.
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.
Technologies that were disabled were ignored completely by research sync
due to a missunderstanding of what disabled means. Disabled does not
mean the tech is somehow inaccessible and completely out of play, it
only means it can't be selected in the technology screen.
Ignore the enabled status of technologies in research_sync to fix a
crash that happened when a mod enables a disabled by default technology
and the player attempts to research it.
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.
Fix broken support for retrying uploads and background downloads by
making crafting queue serialisation non-destructive and only performing
the serialisation and deserialisation while the player is online.
This removes the /save-crafts and /restore-crafts commands because the
existing implementation would voids the non-saved crafting queue items
if /save-crafts is performed and then new items are added to the
crafting queue before switching server.
Fixes#419.
Count up to 100 empty slots past the last seen slot with data in it
before stopping to look for personal logistics slots in inventory_sync.
Allows unlimeted amount of logistics request slots to be used for
heavily modded games.
Put all web assets including plugin assets under a shared static/ route
in the web interface that's declared as immutable and cacheable for 1
year. This allows all JavaScript bundles to be loaded from disk instead
of having to check with the web server each time and significantly
speeds up the web interface load time. It also fixes the public path
issue when using the --dev-plugin option behind a proxy.
To prevent collisions and stale data all assets now include a hash in
the filename. This means the entrypoint is now dynamic and specified in
a manifest.json file created from the web build. For plugins this means
the filename attribute needs to be removed from webpack.config.js.
The prepare script runs before publishing a package, after installation
of a package from source, and when running npm install without
arguments in the repository. These are the times where a build of the
web interface files are required to make the web interface work and
removes a manual step from using the package(s). The "build" script on
the other hand is never automatically invoked by npm.
Write new file contents to a temporary file and then rename over the
target file to avoid data loss in the unlikely event there's an error
writing the new file contents or the process is interrupted.
Resolves#416.
The serialization and deserialization of editor mode is not supported by
the current code, and while the download correctly checked for the
player being in editor mode, the upload did not check for the player
being in editor mode causing players in editor mode to break. Fix by
adding check in upload_inventory.
Fix commands syncing researces being sent before the instance is started
up, and potential desync of research progress as a result of out of
order execution of RCON commands sent.
