The default symlink location can cause slowdowns and wasted CPU cycles
in VS Code and PyCharm/IntelliJ, as they try to watch Bazel's (large)
build folder for changes. The issue can be mostly ameliorated in VS Code
by excluding the symlinks using globs in settings like watcherExclude,
but the Rust extension doesn't support globs, so each folder needs to be
listed out separately. And because the product name symlink depends on
the name of the directory you're building from, we can't just include
the excludes in .vscode - it will depend on the folder the user is storing
things.
PyCharm and IntelliJ behave even worse here - they continue to monitor
for changes in all folders of the repo, even if those folders have been
marked as excluded in the project settings. Placing the folders into the
IDE-global Editor>File Types>Ignored Files And Folders works around this,
but again we run into troubles making this work out of the box, especially
with the product name in the symlink.
One option would be to turn the symlinks off completely. They are not
required for building, and for scripting/debugging, we can get the folder
locations via 'bazel info'. But with that approach, we would no longer
be able to symlink build products into the source tree, as we do for
things like the generated backend methods and translations, so we'd lose
code completion for them that way.
Another option would be to place the symlinks in .bazel/ inside the repo.
That solves the VS Code case (in conjunction with a workspace config file),
but doesn't fully fix IntelliJ/PyCharm.
The only remaining option I can see is to place the symlinks outside the
repo. Bazel won't expand ~ in the symlink path, so we can't use something
like ~/.cache/bazel/anki to place the files near the other build files.
So we end up having to have the files written to ../bazel/anki, in the
repo's parent folder. Not very clean, but I don't see a better alternative
at the moment.
.gitignore is still ignoring bazel-*, as currently bazel-dist and
bazel-pkg will be created when building/packaging. They should be fairly
innocuous, but we may want to rename them at one point.
Other changes:
- add missing symlink for pylib hooks
- add a sample .user.bazelrc file
Means URLs like :/icons/foo.jpg should become icons:foo.jpg
This is part of the prep work for a PyQt6 update. PyQt6 has dropped
pyrcc, so we can longer generate the icons_qrc.py file we did previously.
Qt Designer expects us to use the resource system, so we continue to
generate the icons.qrc file to make editing the UI files easier. But at
runtime, we no longer use that file.
- Closes#976
- Added helper to apply arbitrary colour to an icon.
- Fix#979 - low res icons in night mode.
- The icons and colours are not perfect - please feel free to send
through a PR if you can improve them.
- Convert colors dictionary into module consts, so we can
use code completion.
- Added "Edited Today" and "Due Tomorrow"
- Rename camelCase attribute to snake_case and tweak the wording
of some enum constants. We've already broken compatibility with the
major sidebar add-ons, so we may as well make these changes while we
can.
- Removed Filter button. Currently there is no exposed way to toggle
the Sidebar off - wonder if we still need it?
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.
