- Use DATA for the qml and branding directories (looks for qml/
and branding/<name>/ in those directories).
- Use CONFIG for the global settings and module settings (looks
for settings.conf and module/<name>/ in those directories).
FIXES#941
- Be more verbose when things go wrong while loading module-
configuration files.
- Allow more forms of paths to be specified. In debug mode, this
is mostyle helpful for the module test-loader.
- document new variable from the CMake module
- use it in libcalamaresui to simplify #include'ing the
header for the "all" extension.
Suggested by Denis Proskurin.
- Similar to the refactorings in Calamares proper, just split out
collecting the search paths into a static function. This makes
it a little easier to find places that will need expansion for
more-than-one-config-directory.
- There is more to failing out of loadModules() than just
emitting modulesFailed, so instead share the failure
code with the code after loading modules -- but don't load any.
- Module dependency-checking is done in two phases:
first, catch any unknown modules that are listed
in *requiredModules* and bail out before loading
anything. Second, check that the modules required
by X occur before X in the sequence.
- The value set in module.desc was never stored for use,
but isn't an attribute of the instance, either. It belongs
with the descriptor, in ModuleManager.
Introduce the notion of emergency modules and emergency jobs.
Initial use will probably center around the preservefiles module,
and possibly umount.
FIXES#928
Any job can be an emergency job; emergency modules spawn
emergency jobs (but conversely, a non-emergency module
can spawn an emergency job explicitly).
A potentially emergency module is one that has EMERGENCY
(in CMake) or emergency: true (in module.desc) set.
Any such module must also set emergency: true in the
configuration of the module. This is to allow for
instances of a module that **don't** run as emergency
modules, alongside actual emergency ones.
- Add a TODO for allowing modules to come from somewhere other
than the module loader (this would allow "internal" modules
that are always present)
- Warnings are warnings
- Collect the failed modules, instead of bailing out on the first one
(this also prevents crashes caused by quit() called from a timer).
- Introduce a slot to report on failed module loading (no UI yet).
- Include all headers for types that need to be fully-defined
(e.g. return types). This guards against uses in contexts where
those headers have not been implicitly or previously included.
FIXES#948
- Settings is just a settings class, no UI involved, so
move to libcalamares where it can be used also from
system helpers.
- YAML utilities are useful at a lower level of the stack, too.
- Put the (constant) 'Calamares will now quit' on its own debug line.
- Tell the user what the search paths are if a module is not found
(prompted by a mis-configuration in a Neon live image).
