Make sure that the issue reported in #7 and #44 is fixed.
The mocked battery has a zero power_now attribute and a non-zero legacy
current_now attribute on purpose, to detect if upowerd tries to read
current_now if the power_now value is small.
Currently, if a power supplies' power_now sysfs file reports discharge
rates < 0.01 W, the code will try to calculate the discharge rate from
the legacy sysfs files. On new kernels where those don't exist, this
produces wrong results.
For example, on a dual-battery Thinkpad T450s, while the external
battery is discharging, the internal battery reports power_now = 0,
but the corresponding upower energy-rate field incorrectly reads
about 2.3 W.
This patch fixes the issue by falling back to the legacy code only if
the legacy current_now sysfs file exists.
Closes: #7, #44
Make Bluetooth devices for which we can't guess the "kind" or form
factor be "generic Bluetooth" devices, rather than "unknown" devices.
That should make it clearer in UIs that the devices are Bluetooth rather
than connected to the computer somehow.
Closes: #137
capacity is supposed to be the running battery percentage, not a
representation of its current state of the factory capacity (which
isn't something that's ever shown in Linux or macOS).
Use the new "ignore-system-percentage" property to work-around that
problem.
Closes: #141, #103
On some hardware, the "capacity" sysfs contains the capacity of the
battery when full compared to when it was new, instead of the percentage
of battery available.
Make it possible to ignore the "capacity" with this new property.
Those devices date back from the mid-2000s. If they still work, and
somebody is still interested in having them export their battery status,
we would recommend moving this information to the appropriate kernel
drivers.
It's really confusing seeing "not a switch [...]" when we actually
managed to find a switch, so throw 2 errors in the debug when both
checks fail, rather than as things are being tested.

Despite what the comments say, the device is indeed a valid input
device, it's just not one we want to add to the power devices,
as done in up-daemon.c's up_daemon_device_added_cb().
Rather than using the type of the first sibling device we find, which is
usually the pointing device portion, make sure that keyboard/pointing
device combo devices are identified as keyboards.
Check that external devices which show up as "battery" types have their
capacity_level correctly read, and that the device's type will be
correctly read after an input node is attached.
This check is supposed to start a poll for 1) batteries embedded in
external devices 2) batteries when battery polling is not disabled.
Make sure to start the poll for all batteries embedded in devices even
the ones that are just detected as "battery".
On some devices the power_supply node will show up before a related node
such as "input", making it impossible to know which type of device we're
attached to without waiting. Try to detect the device type again if the
device type is still "battery".
This fixes some Logitech devices appearing as "Battery" instead of their
respective device type, such as "mouse".
Use the correct refresh function for device batteries which aren't of a
known type. This fixes battery information not getting updated on many
Logitech wireless devices.
Reproducer:
- Unplug Logitech receiver
- Replug Logitech receiver
- Press button on Logitech keyboard
- Move mouse/touchpad
The touchpad battery would be stuck in "unknown" and with a "type" of
battery. This commit forces the correct refresh function to be used, one
that reads the capacity_level on those devices, and will update the
overall battery level.
Closes: #72
G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_PRIVATE has been deprecated since glib version
2.58 and should be replaced with the xxx_get_instance_private (obj)
which is generated by G_ADD_PRIVATE.
Use G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE (..., G_PRIVATE_ADD (...)) instead of
the (deprecated since glib 2.58) function g_type_class_add_private
to add a private structure for a type.
Bump the minimal required version of glib to 2.38.0, the version
where G_PRIVATE_ADD was added.
