this will write an arbitrary number of config files, instead of being restricted
to just the introducer.furl, based on the response of the php backend.
the get_config is passed username/password
Previously, once the node itself was launched, the UI event loop was no longer
running. This meant that the app would sit around seemingly 'wedged' and being
reported as 'Not Responding' by the os.
This chnages that by actually implementing a wxPython gui which is left running
while the reactor, and the node within it, is launched in another thread.
Beyond 'quit' -> reactor.stop, there are no interactions between the threads.
The ui provides 'open web root' and 'open account page' actions, both in the
file menu, and in the (right click) dock icon menu.
Something weird in the handling of wxpython's per-frame menubar stuff seems to
mean that the menu bar only displays the file menu and about etc (i.e. the items
from the wx menubar) if the focus changes from and back to the app while the
frame the menubar belongs to is displayed. Hence a splash frame comes up at
startup to provide an opportunity.
It also seems that, in the case that the file menu is not available, that one
can induce it to reappear by choosing 'about' from the dock menu, and then
closing the about window.
this moves some of the code common to both windows and mac builds into the
allmydata module hierarchy, and cleans up the windows and mac build directories
to import the code from there.
This is a little convoluted because of the "layer" design, but it appears
to function correctly and do properly ordered cleanup.
Before system test setup is complete, tahoe_fuse.py needs to be modified
to allow arbitrary client base directories.
now that web templates are found via pkg_resources, then the windows build
should in fact _use_ pkg_resources, rather than exclude it from the build
to prevent nevow exploding upon import due to the zip provider exception,
so that the pkgreshook can do install location based lookups
the recent changes to webish's template lookup (to use nevow.util hence
pkg_resources) to support the mac build, needs these changes to the windows
build in match the new lookup path
remove debug messages (and traceback) from node output in the case that the
pkg resources hook can't find a requested file. it will now silently return
the empty string for files that can't be resolved
refine the logic in the .app which tries to install the 'tahoe' script.
now it will do nothing if 'tahoe' is found anywhere on the user's path,
and only if it's not present will it try to install it in each of the
candidate paths (/usr/local/bin ~/bin ~/Library/bin) which are on the
user's path
having changed the web template retrieval to use nevow.util.resource_filename
(and hence through pkg_resources when available) that adds a requirement that
py2exe be given a hint to induce it to include the allmydata.web module so that
it becomes importable.
We've never heard of a version of zope.interface that *wasn't* compatible, and there is a bug in Ubuntu's packaging of zope.interface which causes it to report its version number as 0.0.0:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope.interface/+bug/185418
upon startup, the .app will look in '/usr/local/bin', '~/bin', '~/Library/bin'
if it finds one of these dirs, and can write into it, and there isn't already
a 'tahoe' present, it will write a small bach script which will launch the
binary contained within the .app bundle
this allows the .app bundle to offer the services of the 'tahoe' script
easily and simply
zooko recently added a runtime check, via setuptools, that specific versions of various
packages were reported as available through setuptools at runtime.
however exe and app builds run with collected egg contents, not linked against entire
eggs, i.e. the code is transcluded into a single library.zip
thus setuptools reports that those specific version cannot be reported as available,
though they are in fact available built into the library
this disables that runtime check if the app is running 'frozen'
This patch adds support for a mac native build.
At the moment it's a fairly simple .app - i.e. so simple as to be unacceptable
for a shipping product, but ok for testing and experiment at this point.
notably once launched, the app's ui does not respond at all, although its dock
icon does allow it to be force-quit.
this produces a single .app bundle, which when run will look for a node basedir
in ~/.tahoe. If one is not found, one will be created in ~/Library/Application
Support/Allmydata Tahoe, and that will be symlinked to ~/.tahoe
if the basedir is lacking basic config (introducer.furl and root_dir.cap) then
the wx config wizard will be launched to log into an account and to set up
those files.
if a webport file is not found, the default value of 8123 will be written into
it.
once the node has started running, a webbrowser will be opened to the webish
interface at the users root_dir
note that, once configured, the node runs as the main thread of the .app,
no daemonisation is done, twistd is not involved.
the binary itself, from within the .app bundle, i.e.
"Allmydata Tahoe.app/Contents/MacOS/Allmydata Tahoe"
can be used from the command line and functions as the 'tahoe' executable
would in a unix environment, with one exception - when launched with no args
it triggers the default behaviour of running a node, and if necessary config
wizard, as if the user had launched the .app
one other gotcha to be aware of is that symlinking to this binary from some
other place in ones $PATH will most likely not work. when I tried this,
something - wx I believe - exploded, since it seems to use argv[0] to figure
out where necessary libraries reside and fails if argv[0] isn't in the .app
bundle. it's pretty easy to set up a script a la
#!/bin/bash
/Blah/blah/blah/Allmydata\ Tahoe.app/Contents/MacOS/Allmydata\ Tahoe "${@}"
using sibpath to find web template files relative to source code is functional
when running from source environments, but not especially flexible when running
from bundled built environments. the more 'orthodox' mechanism, pkg_resources,
in theory at least, knows how to find resource files in various environments.
this makes the 'web' directory in allmydata into an actual allmydata.web module
(since pkg_resources looks for files relative to a named module, and that module
must be importable) and uses pkg_resources.resource_filename to find the files
therein.
