Since the wireplumber configuration has been moved to /usr/share/pipewire, it
does not makes sense to have a different path for the WIREPLUMBER_CONFIG_DIR
environment variable. Therefore, the WIREPLUMBER_CONFIG_DIR environment variable
has been changed to just be an alias of PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_DIR. Finally, Lua
scripts are now installed under /usr/share/wireplumber/scripts instead of
/usr/share/pipewire/scripts as they are a wireplumber feature only.
This change completely refactors the way components are loaded in wireplumber:
- The module_init() function must return a GObject now. This object is either
a WpPlugin or a WpSiFactory in the current modules.
- When the component loader initializes a module, it automatically registers
the WpPlugin or WpSiFactory with their respective methods. There is no need
to register the WpPlugin or WpSiFactory in the module now.
- The wp_core_load_component() API has been refactored to be asynchronows. This
allows the component loader to automatically activate WpPlugin objects, and
therefore allows the application to directly get the WpPlugin without having
to find it. This simplifies a lot of things.
- The 'ifexists' and 'nofail' component flags now work even if the respective
WpPlugin could not be activated.
- The code that loads components in main.c has also been simplified a lot,
and the option to load dangling components has also been removed.
This removes both the policy-virtual-client.lua and policy-virtual-device.lua
scripts, and creates a new linking/find-virtual-target.lua script to link
clients with virtual session items if one of them can be found. In addition to
this, this patch also ports the policy-virtual-client-links.lua into a new
scripts/rescan-virtual-links.lua to use the event stack. The idea is for the
scripts/link-target.lua to create all links but only activate non virtual links,
and for the scripts/rescan-virtual-links.lua to activate/deactivate virtual
links based on role priorities.
This patch also moves nested configuration objects that are not considered
settings from the wireplumber.settings section to its own configuration
section (eg the rules array, the spa plugin properties, etc...). This allows
those objects to be merged with other same sections defined in other files.
This allows for Lua test scripts to be grouped into a label. So that they can be
treated different in terms of the init infrastructure that the script-tester
lays out for those tests.
* Remove entirely the hook priority numbers and use before/after dependencies
* Split the WpEvent code out of WpEventDispatcher
* Add methods on WpEvent to interface with it from the WpEventDispatcher.
As a bonus, we can now also implement tooling to inspect which hooks would
in theory run for an event and write tests around that
* Removed some internal debugging facilities and log calls, will redo it later.
* Using spa_list now for the list of hooks, to reduce the number of allocations
happening in the "hook collection" algorithm
* Switched some internal data to use g_new0 instead of g_slice_new0
* Added g_free to free WpEvent structures... surprisingly, we were leaking them
before
After the creation of metadata with config data, m-settings will also need to
trigger the init of WpSettings Object/API. Earlier this was done in main.c as
part of init transition but the logic there is much more generalized now and so
it has been moved here.
The callback for the last test was getting called with non-string type and this
fails the test. fix it by sending string in correct format.
This test failure was not failing the "make test" this is known limitation in the test
setup. The limitation here is only with the last assert statement.
- WirePlumber Lua now facilitates Lua libraries/modules, utilize this and create
modules. Add some tests around this functionality.
- Create policy-hooks.lua containing all the hooks to find-target events
- Create policy-utils.lua module and push all the policy utility functions to it.
- Create common-utils.lua module and push the common utility functions to it.
- Remove all the above functionality from policy-node.lua and clean it up.
after-events hooks are instantiated with rescan event, not with the event which
actually triggered it. after-events-with-event fills this gap.
policy-node clean needed this kind of hooks.
