- 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.
They is really no needed with the new _get() API and the WpSpaJson API. In C,
users can use 'wp_spa_json_parse_{boolean|int|float|string}()' APIs to parse the
WpSpaJson. In Lua, users can just do 'Settings.get(setting, m):parse()'.
We need to use WpSpaJson to parse the values in WpSettings. This is because the
wireplumber configuration is written in JSON, so WpSettings should only hold
JSON values. To fix this, 2 API changes have been done:
- wp_settings_get_int() only accepts gint values, instead of gint64 values. This
is because the WpSpaJson API only parses int values, like spa_json_parse_int().
- wp_settings_get_string() now returns a newly allocated string, this is because
the string needs to be decoded in case it has quotes.
after-events hooks will get the original event triggering it, instead of the
rescan event.
after-events hook can register with any event, but it is called with rescan event
info. This is so because, after-events hook run after all the on-events hooks
are done with and as a part of the rescan event. so it is triggered with rescan
event data, which doesnt carry much info, instead of rescan event, it makes more
sense to call the after-events hook with the original event which triggered it.
This scheme provides for an orderly execution of hooks as the priorities
are controlled from one single place. Enumeration is defined in such a
way that new items can be added easily.
All the event hooks are changed to get the priorities from this
enumeration.
- Add a new variable "name" in WpEventHook and use it to log all the
hooks(by name) picked up in _push_event(). This gives a clear picture
if hook is registered for a given event.
- Form a name for an event and a chain of events for an event run, log
both of them. This gives a clear picture of the events executed and
order in which they are dispatched.
- Similarly build hooks chain and print it in _source_dispatch(), this
gives a clear picture of the hooks picked and the order in which they
are dispatched.
- Log only the dispatchable(with hooks) events, this de-clutters
the log messages.
- the source shouldn't become ready if there is nothing to do,
otherwise idle sources do not run (since they have lower priority)
- when the source becomes ready, we need a fd to wake up GLib's event
dispatching mechanism to continue processing, otherwise nothing happens
- Monitor to use the JSON APIs and move away from config/lua
- Enhance logic in wpsettings to parse settings which are JSON arrays,
some of the bluetooth properties are JSON arrays and parsing
logic confused them for a rule.
- Add corresponding tests around this logic as well.
- add integer and string version of the APIs,
- Also Refine the APIs, return value to indicate the setting existance
and a new param to return the value of the setting.
- add their lua bindings as well, in lua binding the return value nil
indicates that the setting is not defnied.
- Add corresponding C and lua tests as well.
- Add a few handy debug msgs.
- support loading modules dependent on wireplumber settings in JSON
config.
- load the settings module before parsing wireplumber.components,
so that dependencies can be fetched during parsing.
- access lua scripts are switched to JSON based config and lua configs
are removed.
- unlike pipewire, rules will be parsed during the bootup time, i.e
during the creation of the wpsettings object.
- The rules are parsed into the wpinterest objects and stored in the
wpsettings object, they will be eventually used to service the
apply_rule() API.
- Support pipewire syntax of rules defination in this version.
- settings.c tests conf file loading & parsing, metadata updates,
wpsetttings object creation and its API.
- settings.lua tests the API from lua scripts.
- Add a sample settings.conf file, this file contains sections copied
over from client.conf along with the settings section. Add a file
each for wp side and lua side of scripts.
- Make changes in base test infrastructure to take a custom conf file.
- Enhance the wp_settings_get_instance_api() to be take metadata_name
parameter. So, Wpsetttings is now a singleton instance for a given
metadata file.
- Enhance the m-settings module also to be take metadata_name parameter.
this is handy for lua side of tests as its cumbersome to do this is
lua.
- WpSettings is a singleton object which attaches itself to the core
and registry, it provides a get_instance () for its clients.
- WpSettings provides API to get/set wireplumber settings and rules.
- main.c loads the new object and makes sure it is available for
for all the modules and scripts. This is achieved by introducing
a new activation step.
- Add the lua bindings for get_setting API.
The spa_json_encode_string() API does not add a null terminator character. We
need to use the return value to know the size of the encoded string when adding
it to the builder.
This allows to transparently wait until a link is PAUSED before
returning from the activation transition. This way we can also
catch negotiation/allocation errors while activating a link.
PAUSED is used instead of ACTIVE because ACTIVE depends on the
nodes being activated as well. There are cases where a link may not
activate the nodes (ex, a passive link) and the link may remain
PAUSED for a long time.
