* Collection needs to be closed prior to backup even when not downgrading
* Backups -> BackupLimits
* Some improvements to backup_task
- backup_inner now returns the error instead of logging it, so that
the frontend can discover the issue when they await a backup (or create
another one)
- start_backup() was acquiring backup_task twice, and if another thread
started a backup between the two locks, the task could have been accidentally
overwritten without awaiting it
* Backups no longer require a collection close
- Instead of closing the collection, we ensure there is no active
transaction, and flush the WAL to disk. This means the undo history
is no longer lost on backup, which will be particularly useful if we
add a periodic backup in the future.
- Because a close is no longer required, backups are now achieved with
a separate command, instead of being included in CloseCollection().
- Full sync no longer requires an extra close+reopen step, and we now
wait for the backup to complete before proceeding.
- Create a backup before 'check db'
* Add File>Create Backup
https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/anki-mac-os-no-backup-on-sync/6157
* Defer checkpoint until we know we need it
When running periodic backups on a timer, we don't want to be fsync()ing
unnecessarily.
* Skip backup if modification time has not changed
We don't want the user leaving Anki open overnight, and coming back
to lots of identical backups.
* Periodic backups
Creates an automatic backup every 30 minutes if the collection has been
modified.
If there's a legacy checkpoint active, tries again 5 minutes later.
* Switch to a user-configurable backup duration
CreateBackup() now uses a simple force argument to determine whether
the user's limits should be respected or not, and only potentially
destructive ops (full download, check DB) override the user's configured
limit.
I considered having a separate limit for collection close and automatic
backups (eg keeping the previous 5 minute limit for collection close),
but that had two downsides:
- When the user closes their collection at the end of the day, they'd
get a recent backup. When they open the collection the next day, it
would get backed up again within 5 minutes, even though not much had
changed.
- Multiple limits are harder to communicate to users in the UI
Some remaining decisions I wasn't 100% sure about:
- If force is true but the collection has not been modified, the backup
will be skipped. If the user manually deleted their backups without
closing Anki, they wouldn't get a new one if the mtime hadn't changed.
- Force takes preference over the configured backup interval - should
we be ignored the user here, or take no backups at all?
Did a sneaky edit of the existing ftl string, as it hasn't been live
long.
* Move maybe_backup() into Collection
* Use a single method for manual and periodic backups
When manually creating a backup via the File menu, we no longer make
the user wait until the backup completes. As we continue waiting for
the backup in the background, if any errors occur, the user will get
notified about it fairly quickly.
* Show message to user if backup was skipped due to no changes
+ Don't incorrectly assert a backup will be created on force
* Add "automatic" to description
* Ensure we backup prior to importing colpkg if collection open
The backup doesn't happen when invoked from 'open backup' in the profile
screen, which matches Anki's previous behaviour. The user could
potentially clobber up to 30 minutes of their work if they exited to
the profile screen and restored a backup, but the alternative is we
create backups every time a backup is restored, which may happen a number
of times if the user is trying various ones. Or we could go back to a
separate throttle amount for this case, at the cost of more complexity.
* Remove the 0 special case on backup interval; minimum of 5 minutes
https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/1728#discussion_r830876833
* Fix legacy colpkg import; disable v3 import/export; add roundtrip test
The test has revealed we weren't decompressing the media files on v3
import. That's easy to fix, but means all files need decompressing
even when they already exist, which is not ideal - it would be better
to store size/checksum in the metadata instead.
* Switch media and meta to protobuf; re-enable v3 import/export
- Fixed media not being decompressed on import
- The uncompressed size and checksum is now included for each media
entry, so that we can quickly check if a given file needs to be extracted.
We're still just doing a naive size comparison on colpkg import at the
moment, but we may want to use a checksum in the future, and will need
a checksum for apkg imports.
- Checksums can't be efficiently encoded in JSON, so the media list
has been switched to protobuf to reduce the the space requirements.
- The meta file has been switched to protobuf as well, for consistency.
This will mean any colpkg files exported with beta7 will be
unreadable.
* Avoid integer version comparisons
* Re-enable v3 test
* Apply suggestions from code review

* Add export_colpkg() method to Collection
More discoverable, and easier to call from unit tests
* Split import/export code out into separate folders
Currently colpkg/*.rs contain some routines that will be useful for
apkg import/export as well; in the future we can refactor them into a
separate file in the parent module.
* Return a proper error when media import fails
This tripped me up when writing the earlier unit test - I had called
the equivalent of import_colpkg()?, and it was returning a string error
that I didn't notice. In practice this should result in the same text
being shown in the UI, but just skips the tooltip.
* Automatically create media folder on import
* Move roundtrip test into separate file; check collection too
* Remove zstd version suffix
Prevents a warning shown each time Rust Analyzer is used to check the
code.

* Compress the media map in the v3 package (dae)
On collections with lots of media, it can grow into megabytes.
Also return an error in extract_media_file_names(), instead of masking
it as an optional.
* Store media map as a vector in the v3 package (dae)
This compresses better (eg 280kb original, 100kb hashmap, 42kb vec)
In the colpkg import case we don't need random access. When importing
an apkg, we will need to be able to fetch file data for a given media
filename, but the existing map doesn't help us there, as we need
filename->index, not index->filename.

* Delete leaky timer
* Add progress updates for restoring media
* Write restored collection to tempfile first
* Do collection compression in the background thread
This has us currently storing an uncompressed and compressed copy of
the collection in memory (not ideal), but means the collection can be
closed without waiting for compression to complete. On a large collection,
this takes a close and reopen from about 0.55s to about 0.07s. The old
backup code for comparison: about 0.35s for compression off, about
8.5s for zip compression.
* Use multithreading in zstd compression
On my system, this reduces the compression time of a large collection
from about 0.55s to 0.08s.
* Stream compressed collection data into zip file
* Tweak backup explanation

* Store logger in Backend, instead of creating one on demand
init_backend() accepts a Logger rather than a log file, to allow other
callers to customize the logger if they wish.
In the future we may want to explore using the tracing crate as an
alternative; it's a bit more ergonomic, as a logger doesn't need to be
passed around, and it plays more nicely with async code.

* Join last backup thread before starting new one
Also refactor.
* Disable auto sync and backup when restoring again
* Force backup on full download
* Include the reason why a media file import failed, and the file path
- Introduce a FileIoError that contains a string representation of
the underlying I/O error, and an associated path. There are a few
places in the code where we're currently manually including the filename
in a custom error message, and this is a step towards a more consistent
approach (but we may be better served with a more general approach in
the future similar to Anyhow's .context())
- Move the error message into importing.ftl, as it's a bit neater
when error messages live in the same file as the rest of the messages
associated with some functionality.
* Fix importing of media files
* Minor wording tweaks
* Save an allocation
I18n strings with replacements are already strings, so we can skip the
extra allocation. Not that it matters here at all.
* Terminate import if file missing from archive
If a third-party tool is creating invalid archives, the user should know
about it. This should be rare, so I did not attempt to make it
translatable.

The packaged builds of 2.1.50 use python -OO, which means our assertion
statements won't be run. This is not an issue for unit tests (as we
don't run them from a packaged build), or for type assertions (which are
added for mypy's benefit), but we do need to ensure that invariant checks
are still run.

- the wheel was depending on the PyPI version instead of our vendored
version
- _vendor:stringcase should not have been listed in the anki py_library.
We already include the sources in py_srcs, and need to refer to them
directly. By listing _vendor:stringcase as well, we were making a
top-level stringcase library available, which would have only worked for
distributing because the wheel definition was also incorrect.
- mypy errors are what caused me to mistakenly add the above - they
were because the type: ignore at the top of stringcase.py was causing
mypy to completely ignore the file, so it was not aware of any attributes
it contained.

This adds Python 3.9 and 3.10 typing syntax to files that import
attributions from __future___. Python 3.9 should be able to cope with
the 3.10 syntax, but Python 3.8 will no longer work.
On Windows/Mac, install the latest Python 3.9 version from python.org.
There are currently no orjson wheels for Python 3.10 on Windows/Mac,
which will break the build unless you have Rust installed separately.
On Linux, modern distros should have Python 3.9 available already. If
you're on an older distro, you'll need to build Python from source first.
Python's regex engine performs pathologically on regexes like
'<!--.*?-->' when fed a large string of repeating '<!--' clauses.
Thanks to JaimeSlome / security@huntr.dev for the report; closes#1380.
Solved by switching to the Rust implementation, which does not suffer
from this issue.
entsToText(), minimizeHTML(), and the old regex constants have been
removed; they do not appear to be used by any add-ons.
In order to split backend.proto into a more manageable size, the protobuf
handling needed to be updated. This took more time than I would have
liked, as each language handles protobuf differently:
- The Python Protobuf code ignores "package" directives, and relies
solely on how the files are laid out on disk. While it would have been
nice to keep the generated files in a private subpackage, Protobuf gets
confused if the files are located in a location that does not match
their original .proto layout, so the old approach of storing them in
_backend/ will not work. They now clutter up pylib/anki instead. I'm
rather annoyed by that, but alternatives seem to be having to add an extra
level to the Protobuf path, making the other languages suffer, or trying
to hack around the issue by munging sys.modules.
- Protobufjs fails to expose packages if they don't start with a capital
letter, despite the fact that lowercase packages are the norm in most
languages :-( This required a patch to fix.
- Rust was the easiest, as Prost is relatively straightforward compared
to Google's tools.
The Protobuf files are now stored in /proto/anki, with a separate package
for each file. I've split backend.proto into a few files as a test, but
the majority of that work is still to come.
The Python Protobuf building is a bit of a hack at the moment, hard-coding
"proto" as the top level folder, but it seems to get the job done for now.
Also changed the workspace name, as there seems to be a number of Bazel
repos moving away from the more awkward reverse DNS naming style.
Like the previous change, avoid exposing the protobuf as a public API
for now. It requires more thought, and is probably better done with
either extra helper accessors like decks.name(), or via a native class.
Also:
- fix issues where the Undo action in the Browse screen was not
consistent with the main window. The existing hook signature has been
changed; from a snapshot of the add-on code from a few months ago, it
was not a hook that was being used by anyone.
- change the undo shortcut in the Browse window to match the main
window. It was different because undoing a change in the editing area
could accidentally trigger an undo of an operation, but the damage is
limited now that (most) operations can be redone. If it still proves to
be a problem, perhaps we should just always swallow ctrl+z when an
editing field is focused.
Allows add-on authors to define their own label for a group of undoable
operations. For example:
def mark_and_bury(
*,
parent: QWidget,
card_id: CardId,
) -> CollectionOp[OpChanges]:
def op(col: Collection) -> OpChanges:
target = col.add_custom_undo_entry("Mark and Bury")
col.sched.bury_cards([card_id])
card = col.get_card(card_id)
col.tags.bulk_add(note_ids=[card.nid], tags="marked")
return col.merge_undo_entries(target)
return CollectionOp(parent, op)
The .add_custom_undo_entry() is for adding your own custom actions.
When extending a standard Anki action, instead store `target =
col.undo_status().last_step` after executing the standard operation.
This started out as a bigger refactor that required a separate
.commit_undoable() call to be run after each operation, instead of
having each operation return changes directly. But that proved to be
somewhat cumbersome in unit tests, and ran the risk of unexpected
behaviour if the caller invoked an operation without remembering to
finalize it.
- backend now updates current notetype as part of addition
- frontend no longer implicitly adds, so we can assign a new name and
add in a single operation
Instead, fetch the config order on the frontend and pass a builtin
variant into the backend.
That makes the following unnecessary:
* Resolving the config sort in search/mod.rs
* Deserializing the Column enum
* Config accessors for the sort columns
* Remove duplicate backend columns
* Remove duplicate column routines
* Move columns on frontend from state to model
* Generate available columns from Colum enum
* Add second column label for notes mode
remove_note() now returns the count of removed cards, allowing us
to unify the tooltip between browser and review screen
I've left the old translation in - we'll need to write a script at
one point that gathers all references to translations in the code,
and shows ones that are unused.
- pass the handler directly
- reviewer special-cases for flags and notes are now applied at
call site
- drop the kind attribute on OpChanges which is not needed
Updating a deck via protobuf is now exposed on the backend, but not
currently on the frontend - I suspect we'll be better off writing
separate routines for the actions we need instead, and we get a better
undo description for free.
This is currently causing an ugly redraw in the browse screen, which
will need fixing.
Instead of generating a fluent.proto file with a giant enum, create
a .json file representing the translations that downstream consumers
can use for code generation.
This enables the generation of a separate method for each translation,
with a docstring that shows the actual text, and any required arguments
listed in the function signature.
The codebase is still using the old enum for now; updating it will need
to come in future commits, and the old enum will need to be kept
around, as add-ons are referencing it.
Other changes:
- move translation code into a separate crate
- store the translations on a per-file/module basis, which will allow
us to avoid sending 1000+ strings on each JS page load in the future
- drop the undocumented support for external .ftl files, that we weren't
using
- duplicate strings in translation files are now checked for at build
time
- fix i18n test failing when run outside Bazel
- drop slog dependency in i18n module
Now behaves the same way as standard find&replace:
- Will match substrings
- Regexs can be used to match multiple items; we no longer split
input on spaces.
- The find&replace dialog has been updated to add tags to the field
list.
- Introduced a new transact() method that wraps the return value
in a separate struct that describes the changes that were made.
- Changes are now gathered from the undo log, so we don't need to
guess at what was changed - eg if update_note() is called with identical
note contents, no changes are returned. Card changes will only be set
if cards were actually generated by the update_note() call, and tag
will only be set if a new tag was added.
- mw.perform_op() has been updated to expect the op to return the changes,
or a structure with the changes in it, and it will use them to fire the
change hook, instead of fetching the changes from undo_status(), so there
is no risk of race conditions.
- the various calls to mw.perform_op() have been split into separate
files like card_ops.py. Aside from making the code cleaner, this works
around a rather annoying issue with mypy. Because we run it with
no_strict_optional, mypy is happy to accept an operation that returns None,
despite the type signature saying it requires changes to be returned.
Turning no_strict_optional on for the whole codebase is not practical
at the moment, but we can enable it for individual files.
Still todo:
- The cursor keeps moving back to the start of a field when typing -
we need to ignore the refresh hook when we are the initiator.
- The busy cursor icon should probably be delayed a few hundreds ms.
- Still need to think about a nicer way of handling saveNow()
- op_made_changes(), op_affects_study_queue() might be better embedded
as properties in the object instead
'card modified' covers the common case where we need to rebuild the
study queue, but is also set when changing the card flags. We want to
avoid a queue rebuild in that case, as it causes UI flicker, and may
result in a different card being shown. Note marking doesn't trigger
a queue build, but still causes flicker, and may return the user back
to the front side when they were looking at the answer.
I still think entity-based change tracking is the simplest in the
common case, but to solve the above, I've introduced an enum describing
the last operation that was taken. This currently is not trying to list
out all possible operations, and just describes the ones we want to
special-case.
Other changes:
- Fire the old 'state_did_reset' hook after an operation is performed,
so legacy code can refresh itself after an operation is performed.
- Fire the new `operation_did_execute` hook when mw.reset() is called,
so that as the UI is updated to the use the new hook, it will still
be able to refresh after legacy code calls mw.reset()
- Update the deck browser, overview and review screens to listen to
the new hook, instead of relying on the main window to call moveToState()
- Add a 'set flag' backend action, so we can distinguish it from a
normal card update.
- Drop the separate added/modified entries in the change list in
favour of a single entry per entity.
- Add typing to mw.state
- Tweak perform_op()
- Convert a few more actions to use perform_op()
Basic proof of concept, where the 'delete note' operation in the
reviewer has been updated to use mw.perform_op(). Instead of manually
calling .reset() afterwards, a summary of the changes is returned as
part of the undo status query, and various parts of the GUI can listen
to gui_hooks.operation_did_execute and decide whether they want to
redraw based on the scope of the changes. This should allow the sidebar
to selectively redraw just the tags area in the future for example.
Currently we're just listing out all possible areas that might be changed;
in the future we could theoretically inspect the specific changes in the
undo log to provide a more accurate report (avoiding refreshing the tags
list when no tags were added for example).
You can test it out by opening the browse screen while studying, and
then deleting the current card - the browser should update to show (deleted)
on the cards due the earlier change.
If going ahead with this, aside from updating all the screens that currently
listen for resets, some thought will be required on how we can integrate
it with legacy code that expects to called when resets are made, and expects
to call .reset() when it makes changes.
Thoughts?
Fixes the following issue:
- some code directly modifies the database, causing modified_in_python
to be set to true
- an undoable operation is run, which calls autosave() at the end
- autosave() notices there's an undoable operation, and commits immediately
- because modified_in_python was true, col.mtime was bumped in Python
- that invalidated the undo queue, preventing the operation from being
undone
