* Update to latest Node LTS
* Add sveltekit
* Split tslib into separate @generated and @tslib components
SvelteKit's path aliases don't support multiple locations, so our old
approach of using @tslib to refer to both ts/lib and out/ts/lib will no
longer work. Instead, all generated sources and their includes are
placed in a separate out/ts/generated folder, and imported via @generated
instead. This also allows us to generate .ts files, instead of needing
to output separate .d.ts and .js files.
* Switch package.json to module type
* Avoid usage of baseUrl
Incompatible with SvelteKit
* Move sass into ts; use relative links
SvelteKit's default sass support doesn't allow overriding loadPaths
* jest->vitest, graphs example working with yarn dev
* most pages working in dev mode
* Some fixes after rebasing
* Fix/silence some svelte-check errors
* Get image-occlusion working with Fabric types
* Post-rebase lock changes
* Editor is now checked
* SvelteKit build integrated into ninja
* Use the new SvelteKit entrypoint for pages like congrats/deck options/etc
* Run eslint once for ts/**; fix some tests
* Fix a bunch of issues introduced when rebasing over latest main
* Run eslint fix
* Fix remaining eslint+pylint issues; tests now all pass
* Fix some issues with a clean build
* Latest bufbuild no longer requires @__PURE__ hack
* Add a few missed dependencies
* Add yarn.bat to fix Windows build
* Fix pages failing to show when ANKI_API_PORT not defined
* Fix svelte-check and vitest on Windows
* Set node path in ./yarn
* Move svelte-kit output to ts/.svelte-kit
Sadly, I couldn't figure out a way to store it in out/ if out/ is
a symlink, as it breaks module resolution when SvelteKit is run.
* Allow HMR inside Anki
* Skip SvelteKit build when HMR is defined
* Fix some post-rebase issues
I should have done a normal merge instead.
* Remember original id when importing notetype
* Reuse notetypes with matching original id
* Add field and template ids
* Enable merging imported notetypes
* Fix test
Note should be updated if the incoming note's notetype is
remapped to the existing note's notetype.
On the other hand, it should be skipped if its notetype id is mapped
to some new notetype.
* Change field and template ids to i32
* Add merge notetypes flag to proto message

Python test discovery is easy enough to disable for the workspace in VS Code's settings and pytest does not serve any purpose in the context of the project anyway.
* Gitignore .ninja_deps
* Don't check for addon updates on profile unload
This fixes two update dialogs showing up when switching profiles.
* Only show addon update dialog once
... instead of once every time the profile is changed, when the version
doesn't match.
This is analogous to when the dialog is triggered by elapsed time.
* Manage last_run_version update in ProfileManager
Provides better visibility into what the build is currently doing.
Motivated by slow node.js downloads making the build appear stuck.
You can test this out by running ./tools/install-n2 then building
normally. Please report any problems, and 'cargo uninstall n2' to get
back to the old behaviour. It works on Windows, but prints a new line
each second instead of redrawing the same area.
A couple of changes were required for compatibility:
- n2 doesn't resolve $variable names inside other variables, so the
resolution needs to be done by our build generator.
- Our inputs and outputs in build.ninja need to be listed in a deterministic
order to avoid unwanted rebuilds. I've made a few other tweaks so the
build file should now be fully-deterministic.
This PR replaces the existing Python-driven sync server with a new one in Rust.
The new server supports both collection and media syncing, and is compatible
with both the new protocol mentioned below, and older clients. A setting has
been added to the preferences screen to point Anki to a local server, and a
similar setting is likely to come to AnkiMobile soon.
Documentation is available here: <https://docs.ankiweb.net/sync-server.html>
In addition to the new server and refactoring, this PR also makes changes to the
sync protocol. The existing sync protocol places payloads and metadata inside a
multipart POST body, which causes a few headaches:
- Legacy clients build the request in a non-deterministic order, meaning the
entire request needs to be scanned to extract the metadata.
- Reqwest's multipart API directly writes the multipart body, without exposing
the resulting stream to us, making it harder to track the progress of the
transfer. We've been relying on a patched version of reqwest for timeouts,
which is a pain to keep up to date.
To address these issues, the metadata is now sent in a HTTP header, with the
data payload sent directly in the body. Instead of the slower gzip, we now
use zstd. The old timeout handling code has been replaced with a new implementation
that wraps the request and response body streams to track progress, allowing us
to drop the git dependencies for reqwest, hyper-timeout and tokio-io-timeout.
The main other change to the protocol is that one-way syncs no longer need to
downgrade the collection to schema 11 prior to sending.

Bazel brought a lot of nice things to the table, such as rebuilds based on
content changes instead of modification times, caching of build products,
detection of incorrect build rules via a sandbox, and so on. Rewriting the build
in Bazel was also an opportunity to improve on the Makefile-based build we had
prior, which was pretty poor: most dependencies were external or not pinned, and
the build graph was poorly defined and mostly serialized. It was not uncommon
for fresh checkouts to fail due to floating dependencies, or for things to break
when trying to switch to an older commit.
For day-to-day development, I think Bazel served us reasonably well - we could
generally switch between branches while being confident that builds would be
correct and reasonably fast, and not require full rebuilds (except on Windows,
where the lack of a sandbox and the TS rules would cause build breakages when TS
files were renamed/removed).
Bazel achieves that reliability by defining rules for each programming language
that define how source files should be turned into outputs. For the rules to
work with Bazel's sandboxing approach, they often have to reimplement or
partially bypass the standard tools that each programming language provides. The
Rust rules call Rust's compiler directly for example, instead of using Cargo,
and the Python rules extract each PyPi package into a separate folder that gets
added to sys.path.
These separate language rules allow proper declaration of inputs and outputs,
and offer some advantages such as caching of build products and fine-grained
dependency installation. But they also bring some downsides:
- The rules don't always support use-cases/platforms that the standard language
tools do, meaning they need to be patched to be used. I've had to contribute a
number of patches to the Rust, Python and JS rules to unblock various issues.
- The dependencies we use with each language sometimes make assumptions that do
not hold in Bazel, meaning they either need to be pinned or patched, or the
language rules need to be adjusted to accommodate them.
I was hopeful that after the initial setup work, things would be relatively
smooth-sailing. Unfortunately, that has not proved to be the case. Things
frequently broke when dependencies or the language rules were updated, and I
began to get frustrated at the amount of Anki development time I was instead
spending on build system upkeep. It's now about 2 years since switching to
Bazel, and I think it's time to cut losses, and switch to something else that's
a better fit.
The new build system is based on a small build tool called Ninja, and some
custom Rust code in build/. This means that to build Anki, Bazel is no longer
required, but Ninja and Rust need to be installed on your system. Python and
Node toolchains are automatically downloaded like in Bazel.
This new build system should result in faster builds in some cases:
- Because we're using cargo to build now, Rust builds are able to take advantage
of pipelining and incremental debug builds, which we didn't have with Bazel.
It's also easier to override the default linker on Linux/macOS, which can
further improve speeds.
- External Rust crates are now built with opt=1, which improves performance
of debug builds.
- Esbuild is now used to transpile TypeScript, instead of invoking the TypeScript
compiler. This results in faster builds, by deferring typechecking to test/check
time, and by allowing more work to happen in parallel.
As an example of the differences, when testing with the mold linker on Linux,
adding a new message to tags.proto (which triggers a recompile of the bulk of
the Rust and TypeScript code) results in a compile that goes from about 22s on
Bazel to about 7s in the new system. With the standard linker, it's about 9s.
Some other changes of note:
- Our Rust workspace now uses cargo-hakari to ensure all packages agree on
available features, preventing unnecessary rebuilds.
- pylib/anki is now a PEP420 implicit namespace, avoiding the need to merge
source files and generated files into a single folder for running. By telling
VSCode about the extra search path, code completion now works with generated
files without needing to symlink them into the source folder.
- qt/aqt can't use PEP420 as it's difficult to get rid of aqt/__init__.py.
Instead, the generated files are now placed in a separate _aqt package that's
added to the path.
- ts/lib is now exposed as @tslib, so the source code and generated code can be
provided under the same namespace without a merging step.
- MyPy and PyLint are now invoked once for the entire codebase.
- dprint will be used to format TypeScript/json files in the future instead of
the slower prettier (currently turned off to avoid causing conflicts). It can
automatically defer to prettier when formatting Svelte files.
- svelte-check is now used for typechecking our Svelte code, which revealed a
few typing issues that went undetected with the old system.
- The Jest unit tests now work on Windows as well.
If you're upgrading from Bazel, updated usage instructions are in docs/development.md and docs/build.md. A summary of the changes:
- please remove node_modules and .bazel
- install rustup (https://rustup.rs/)
- install rsync if not already installed (on windows, use pacman - see docs/windows.md)
- install Ninja (unzip from https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases/tag/v1.11.1 and
place on your path, or from your distro/homebrew if it's 1.10+)
- update .vscode/settings.json from .vscode.dist
All platforms:
- rename scripts/ to tools/: Bazelisk expects to find its wrapper script
(used by the Mac changes below) in tools/. Rather than have a separate
scripts/ and tools/, it's simpler to just move everything into tools/.
- wheel outputs and binary bundles now go into .bazel/out/dist. While
not technically Bazel build products, doing it this way ensures they get
cleaned up when 'bazel clean' is run, and it keeps them out of the source
folder.
- update to the latest Bazel
Windows changes:
- bazel.bat has been removed, and tools\setup-env.bat has been added.
Other scripts like .\run.bat will automatically call it to set up the
environment.
- because Bazel is now on the path, you can 'bazel test ...' from any
folder, instead of having to do \anki\bazel.
- the bat files can handle being called from any working directory,
so things like running "\anki\tools\python" from c:\ will work.
- build installer as part of bundling process
Mac changes:
- `arch -arch x86_64 bazel ...` will now automatically use a different
build root, so that it is cheap to switch back and forth between archs
on a new Mac.
- tools/run-qt* will now automatically use Rosetta
- disable jemalloc in Mac x86 build for now, as it won't build under
Rosetta (perhaps due to its build scripts using $host_cpu instead of
$target_cpu)
- create app bundle as part of bundling process
Linux changes:
- remove arm64 orjson workaround in Linux bundle, as without a
readily-available, relatively distro-agonstic PyQt/Qt build
we can use, the arm64 Linux bundle is of very limited usefulness.
- update Docker files for release build
- include fcitx5 in both the qt5 and qt6 bundles
- create tarballs as part of the bundling process
Unfortunately 5efaf5a4be broke the Svelte
language tools - presumably having paths outside of the repo is confusing
them.
As a plan B, the symlinks have been shifted to a single subdir. Along
with some exclusions in the VS Code config, this should allow VS Code
to continue to work out of the box, but the docs will need updating
to reflect the extra work required for PyCharm/IntelliJ.
+ fix svelte-check execution on a system without node installed. It
still throws up some errors that are presumably caused by our multiple
rootDirs - not sure if there's an easy way to work around that.
Recommend removing ts/node_modules folder before attempting to
build after this update.
This moves ts/node_modules into the root of the project to work around
https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/1405#issuecomment-936213861
Also fixes the sass errors shown when running scripts/svelte-check
Running and testing should be working on the three platforms, but
there's still a fair bit that needs to be done:
- Wheel building + testing in a venv still needs to be implemented.
- Python requirements still need to be compiled with piptool and pinned;
need to compile on all platforms then merge
- Cargo deps in cargo/ and rslib/ need to be cleaned up, and ideally
unified into one place
- Currently using rustls to work around openssl compilation issues
on Linux, but this will break corporate proxies with custom SSL
authorities; need to conditionally use openssl or use
https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest/pull/1058
- Makefiles and docs still need cleaning up
- It may make sense to reparent ts/* to the top level, as we don't
nest the other modules under a specific language.
- rspy and pylib must always be updated in lock-step, so merging
rspy into pylib as a private module would simplify things.
- Merging desktop-ftl and mobile-ftl into the core ftl would make
managing and updating translations easier.
- Obsolete scripts need removing.
- And probably more.
Earlier today I pushed a change that split this code up into multiple
repos, but that has proved to complicate things too much. So we're
back to a single repo, except the individual submodules are better
separated than they were before.
The README files need updating again; I will push them out soon.
Aside from splitting out the different modules, the sound code has
moved from from anki to aqt.
Currently the Makefile lets you choose your own PREFIX, but
the installed runanki.system always hardcodes the prefix as /usr.
Fix runanki.system at install time to install into the designated
PREFIX.
