- Hide traceback
- Include full add-on info in 'copy debug info' button, like about
screen
- Link to troubleshooting page
- Use non-modal pop-up in the common case, to avoid potential conflicts
with other modals.
Closes#2830
* Refactor media sync handling
- The media USN is now returned in sync/meta, which avoids an extra
round-trip.
- Media syncing is now automatically started by the syncing code at
the end of a normal or full sync, which avoids it competing for bandwidth
and resources, and avoids duplicate invalid login messages when the auth
token is invalid.
- Added a new media_sync_progress() method to both check if media is
syncing, and get access to the latest progress.
- Updated the sync log screen to only show the latest line, like AnkiMobile.
- Show media sync errors in a pop-up, so they don't get missed. Use a non-modal
pop-up to avoid potential conflicts with other modals.
* Remove print statement
Quite a few users have been experiencing crashes recently that were
resolved by resetting their window positions/states. I presume this is
related to Qt updates, as there have been previous instances where old
state caused glitchy behaviour or crashes after a Qt upgrade.
The browser headers are now also reset when resetting window positions
in the preferences.
Way back in Qt4, there was an issue where (some?) windows would open
at a different location to where they were previously open. I've tested
the primary windows in Qt 5.14 on macOS, and the issue no longer seems
to exist, so this code is no longer useful.
The qtmajor > 5 check was a mistake introduced in 70dbd06be3ff56f13b9efe7c886c2a6c4f873ce9;
it was intended to limit the code to Qt 5.
A quick grep of an add-on snapshot indicates there are no add-ons that
were using the offset param, so it has been removed.
* Fix file extension not being appended on export
Regressed in #2427
* Improve import messaging when notetype has changed
- If the local notes are up to date, we don't need to warn about the
changed notetype, as no updates are required.
- Make it clearer that a changed notetype only affects updates.
Will update the docs as well.
The starting size of a webview seems to be 640x480, but if it is hidden
without retainSizeWhenHidden being set, the dialog it contains can end
up with a height of 0, which prevents the dialog from being shown.
By being explicit about our desired starting size, we can use a more
useful default, and avoid the issue of missing dialogs.
(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

From [the documentation](https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/platform.html#platform.platform):
> Returns a single string identifying the underlying platform with as much useful information as possible.
The output is intended to be human readable rather than machine parseable. It may look different on different platforms and this is intended.
Changed in version 3.8: On macOS, the function now uses mac_ver(), if it returns a non-empty release string, to get the macOS version rather than the darwin version.
The main advantage of this change is that it provides the architecture of the platform, which is increasingly relevant as ARM systems are becoming more common.
* TemplateSaveError -> CardTypeError
* Don't show success tooltip if export fails
* Attach help page to error
Show help link if export fails due to card type error.
* Add type (dae)
* Add shared show_exception() (dae)
- Use a shared routine for printing standard backend errors, so that
we can take advantage of the help links in eg. the card layout screen
as well.
- The truthiness check on help in showInfo() would have ignored the
enum 0 value.
- Close the exporting dialog on a documented failure as well
* Fix local variable help_page
* Fix wrong hook being torn down
* Fix item models not being destroyed
* Add missing gc for FilteredDeckConfigDialog
* Add missing type annotation
* Pass calling widget as parent to QTimer
Implicitly passing `self.mw` as the parent means that the QTimer won't
get destroyed before quitting the app, which also thwarts garbage
collection of any data captured by a passed closure.
* Make `Editor._links` an instance variable
Browser is inserting a closure into this dict capturing itself. As a class
variable, it won't get destroyed, so neither will the browser.
* Make `Editor._links` funcs take instance again
* Deprecate calling progress.timer() without parent
* show caller location when printing deprecation warning (dae)
* Make webview zoom optional
Also suppress mouse wheel zooming.
* Disable zoom for top and bottom bars in main view
* Factor in macos zoom by scrolling and refactor
The packaged builds of 2.1.50 use python -OO, which means our assertion
statements won't be run. This is not an issue for unit tests (as we
don't run them from a packaged build), or for type assertions (which are
added for mypy's benefit), but we do need to ensure that invariant checks
are still run.
* PEP8 dbproxy.py
* PEP8 errors.py
* PEP8 httpclient.py
* PEP8 lang.py
* PEP8 latex.py
* Add decorator to deprectate key words
* Make replacement for deprecated attribute optional
* Use new helper `_print_replacement_warning()`
* PEP8 media.py
* PEP8 rsbackend.py
* PEP8 sound.py
* PEP8 stdmodels.py
* PEP8 storage.py
* PEP8 sync.py
* PEP8 tags.py
* PEP8 template.py
* PEP8 types.py
* Fix DeprecatedNamesMixinForModule
The class methods need to be overridden with instance methods, so every
module has its own dicts.
* Use `# pylint: disable=invalid-name` instead of id
* PEP8 utils.py
* Only decorate `__getattr__` with `@no_type_check`
* Fix mypy issue with snakecase
Importing it from `anki._vendor` raises attribute errors.
* Format
* Remove inheritance of DeprecatedNamesMixin
There's almost no shared code now and overriding classmethods with
instance methods raises mypy issues.
* Fix traceback frames of deprecation warnings
* remove fn/TimedLog (dae)
Neither Anki nor add-ons appear to have been using it
* fix some issues with stringcase use (dae)
- the wheel was depending on the PyPI version instead of our vendored
version
- _vendor:stringcase should not have been listed in the anki py_library.
We already include the sources in py_srcs, and need to refer to them
directly. By listing _vendor:stringcase as well, we were making a
top-level stringcase library available, which would have only worked for
distributing because the wheel definition was also incorrect.
- mypy errors are what caused me to mistakenly add the above - they
were because the type: ignore at the top of stringcase.py was causing
mypy to completely ignore the file, so it was not aware of any attributes
it contained.
The enum changes should work on PyQt 5.x, and are required in PyQt 6.x.
They are not supported by the PyQt5 typings however, so we need to run
our tests with PyQt6.
This adds Python 3.9 and 3.10 typing syntax to files that import
attributions from __future___. Python 3.9 should be able to cope with
the 3.10 syntax, but Python 3.8 will no longer work.
On Windows/Mac, install the latest Python 3.9 version from python.org.
There are currently no orjson wheels for Python 3.10 on Windows/Mac,
which will break the build unless you have Rust installed separately.
On Linux, modern distros should have Python 3.9 available already. If
you're on an older distro, you'll need to build Python from source first.
