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.
- changes can now be undone
- the same field can now be mapped to multiple target fields, allowing
fields to be cloned
- the old Qt dialog has been removed
- the old col.models.change() API calls the new code, to avoid
breaking existing consumers. It requires the field map to always
be passed in, but that appears to have been the common case.
- closes#1175
Avoids duplicate work, and is a step towards allowing the next
states to be modified by third-party code.
Also:
- fixed incorrect underlined count, due to reviews being labeled as
learning cards
- fixed reviewer not refreshing when undoing a test review, by splitting
up backend queue rebuilding from frontend reviewer refresh
- moved answering into a CollectionOp
Rust requires all methods of impl Trait to be in a single file, which
means we had a giant backend/mod.rs covering all exposed methods. By
using separate service definitions for the separate areas, and updating
the code generation, we can split it into more manageable chunks -
this commit starts with the scheduling code.
In the long run, we'll probably want to split up the protobuf file into
multiple files as well.
Also dropped want_release_gil() from rsbridge, and the associated method
enum. While it allows us to skip the thread save/restore and mutex unlock/
lock, it looks to only be buying about 2.5% extra performance in the
best case (tested with timeit+format_timespan), and the majority of
the backend methods deal with I/O, and thus were already releasing the
GIL.
- anki._backend stores the protobuf files and rsbackend.py code
- pylib modules import protobuf messages directly from the
_pb2 files, and explicitly export any will be returned or consumed
by public pylib functions, so that calling code can import from pylib
- the "rsbackend" no longer imports and re-exports protobuf messages
- pylib can just consume them directly.
- move errors to errors.py
Still todo:
- rsbridge
- finishing the work on rsbackend, and check what we need to add
back to the original file location to avoid breaking add-ons
