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.
* Fix .no-reduce-motion missing from graphs spinner, and not being honored
* Begin migration from protobuf.js -> protobuf-es
Motivation:
- Protobuf-es has a nicer API: messages are represented as classes, and
fields which should exist are not marked as nullable.
- As it uses modules, only the proto messages we actually use get included
in our bundle output. Protobuf.js put everything in a namespace, which
prevented tree-shaking, and made it awkward to access inner messages.
- ./run after touching a proto file drops from about 8s to 6s on my machine. The tradeoff
is slower decoding/encoding (#2043), but that was mainly a concern for the
graphs page, and was unblocked by
37151213cd
Approach/notes:
- We generate the new protobuf-es interface in addition to existing
protobuf.js interface, so we can migrate a module at a time, starting
with the graphs module.
- rslib:proto now generates RPC methods for TS in addition to the Python
interface. The input-arg-unrolling behaviour of the Python generation is
not required here, as we declare the input arg as a PlainMessage<T>, which
marks it as requiring all fields to be provided.
- i64 is represented as bigint in protobuf-es. We were using a patch to
protobuf.js to get it to output Javascript numbers instead of long.js
types, but now that our supported browser versions support bigint, it's
probably worth biting the bullet and migrating to bigint use. Our IDs
fit comfortably within MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, but that may not hold for future
fields we add.
- Oneofs are handled differently in protobuf-es, and are going to need
some refactoring.
Other notable changes:
- Added a --mkdir arg to our build runner, so we can create a dir easily
during the build on Windows.
- Simplified the preference handling code, by wrapping the preferences
in an outer store, instead of a separate store for each individual
preference. This means a change to one preference will trigger a redraw
of all components that depend on the preference store, but the redrawing
is cheap after moving the data processing to Rust, and it makes the code
easier to follow.
- Drop async(Reactive).ts in favour of more explicit handling with await
blocks/updating.
- Renamed add_inputs_to_group() -> add_dependency(), and fixed it not adding
dependencies to parent groups. Renamed add() -> add_action() for clarity.
* Remove a couple of unused proto imports
* Migrate card info
* Migrate congrats, image occlusion, and tag editor
+ Fix imports for multi-word proto files.
* Migrate change-notetype
* Migrate deck options
* Bump target to es2020; simplify ts lib list
Have used caniuse.com to confirm Chromium 77, iOS 14.5 and the Chrome
on Android support the full es2017-es2020 features.
* Migrate import-csv
* Migrate i18n and fix missing output types in .js
* Migrate custom scheduling, and remove protobuf.js
To mostly maintain our old API contract, we make use of protobuf-es's
ability to convert to JSON, which follows the same format as protobuf.js
did. It doesn't cover all case: users who were previously changing the
variant of a type will need to update their code, as assigning to a new
variant no longer automatically removes the old one, which will cause an
error when we try to convert back from JSON. But I suspect the large majority
of users are adjusting the current variant rather than creating a new one,
and this saves us having to write proxy wrappers, so it seems like a
reasonable compromise.
One other change I made at the same time was to rename value->kind for
the oneofs in our custom study protos, as 'value' was easily confused
with the 'case/value' output that protobuf-es has.
With protobuf.js codegen removed, touching a proto file and invoking
./run drops from about 8s to 6s.
This closes#2043.
* Allow tree-shaking on protobuf types
* Display backend error messages in our ts alert()
* Make sourcemap generation opt-in for ts-run
Considerably slows down build, and not used most of the time.
A couple of motivations for this:
- genbackend.py was somewhat messy, and difficult to change with the
lack of types. The mobile clients used it as a base for their generation,
so improving it will make life easier for them too, once they're ported.
- It will make it easier to write a .ts generator in the future
- We currently implement a bunch of helper methods on protobuf types
which don't allow us to compile the protobuf types until we compile
the Anki crate. If we change this in the future, we will be able to
do more of the compilation up-front.
We no longer need to record the services in the proto file, as we can
extract the service order from the compiled protos. Support for map types
has also been added.
* Store coordinates as ratios of full size
* Use single definition for cappedCanvasSize()
* Move I/O review code into ts/image-occlusion
A bit simpler when it's all in one place.
* Reduce number precision, and round to whole pixels
>>> n=10000
>>> for i in range(1, int(n)): assert i == round(float("%0.4f" % (i/n))*n)
* Minor typing tweak
So, it turns out that typing is mostly broken in ts/image-occlusion.
We're importing from fabric which is a js file without types, so types
like fabric.Canvas are resolving to any.
I first tried switching to `@types/fabric`, which introduced a slew of
typing errors. Wasted a few hours trying to address them, before deciding
to give up on it, since the types were not complete. Then found fabric
has a 6.0 beta that introduces typing, and spent some time with that, but
ran into some new issues as it still seems to be a work in progress.
I think we're probably best off waiting until it's out and stabilized
before sinking more effort into this.
* Refactor (de)serialization of occlusions
To make the code easier to follow/maintain, cloze deletions are now decoded/
encoded into simple data classes, which can then be converted to Fabric objects
and back. The data objects handle converting from absolute/normal positions, and
producing values suitable for writing to text (eg truncated floats).
Various other changes:
- Polygon points are now stored as 'x,y x2,y2 ...' instead of JSON in cloze
divs, as that makes the handling consistent with reading from cloze deletion
text.
- Fixed the reviewer not showing updated placement when a polygon was moved.
- Disabled rotation controls in the editor, since we don't support rotation during
review.
- Renamed hideInactive to occludeInactive, as it wasn't clear whether the former
meant to hide the occlusions, or keep them (hiding the content). It's stored
as 'oi=1' in the cloze text.
* Increase canvas size limit, and double pixels when required.
* Size canvas based on container size
This results in sharper masks when the intrinsic image size is smaller
than the container, and more legible ones when the container is smaller than
the intrinsic image size.
By using the container instead of the viewport, we account for margins,
and when the pixel ratio is 1x, the canvas size and container size should
match.
* Disable zoom animation on editor load
* Default to rectangle when adding new occlusions
* Allow users to add/update notes directly from mask editing page
* The mask editor needs to work with css pixels, not actual pixels
The canvas and image were being scaled too large, which impacted
performance.
* Migrate check_copyright to Rust
* Add a new lint to check accidental usages of /// in ts/svelte comments
* Fix a bunch of incorrect jdoc comments
* Move contributor check into minilints
Will allow users to detect the issue locally with './ninja check'
before pushing to CI.
* Make Cargo.toml consistent with other crates
* Cloze styling is not required in I/O notetype
* Use raw string for IO template
* Rename to notetype.css and use more specific ids
* Move internal i/o styling into runtime
Storing it in the notetype makes it difficult to make changes, and
makes it easier for the user to break.
* Fix misaligned occlusions
At larger screen sizes, the canvas was not increasing above its configured
size, so it ended up being placed top center instead of expanding to fit
the entire container area.
To resolve this, both the image and canvas are forced to the container
size, and the container is constrained to the size of the viewport,
with the same aspect ratio as the image.

If we're going to allow for swapping out other dependencies with local
versions, we don't want to have to be passing them around everywhere
they are used.
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.

This no longer seems to be necessary after migrating away from Bazel,
and excluding it means TS/Svelte files can't be edited properly.
(for upgrading users, please see the notes at the bottom)
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
