Hi! @real-yfprojects , is this right ? like the UI is not freezing now, but after reverting back to the old changes I cant reproduce the issue anymore, I've tried editing the settings.db and even deleted the testing version. Any clue what I did wrong ?

I don't know what you were experiencing before, but this looks good. What happens when you close the dialog, the main window, quit vorta or try to edit anything inside vorta?

Hi! Actually that was my mistake 😓 , I was running vorta from the backup repo and reverted the changes in main repo 😓

But is this the required solution ? like are there more changes required ?

As I said. This is the right approach. What happens when you close the dialog, the main window or quit vorta?

Hi! this seems to work on my machine! waiting for your review 😄

also I've had a question about migrations, how can I perform the migrations 🤔

src/vorta/views/repo_add_dialog.py

real-yfprojects · 2023-03-14T19:55:05Z

@m3nu What was your Intention with the PR, would you consider it fine when the GUI stays responsive but you still can't do anything else while borg is running?

m3nu · 2023-03-14T21:03:28Z

This code was written long ago. It didn't seem important to do, anything else, while adding a repo. No specific consideration.

But as per the current GUI, you can not do anything until you close the dialog displayed 🤔

Which migrations? Usually vorta migrates its database automatically.

Oh, okay, means whenever I run vorta it applies the migrations ?

real-yfprojects · 2023-03-15T15:09:53Z

Yes, if needed.

DaffyTheDuck · 2023-03-15T17:39:03Z

Is this right ?

Is this right?

Besides some minor problems this is right.

real-yfprojects · 2023-03-17T14:25:24Z

src/vorta/views/repo_add_dialog.py

-                thread.result.connect(self.run_result)
-                self.thread = thread  # Needs to be connected to self for tests to work.
-                self.thread.run()
+                job = BorgInfoRepoJob(params['cmd'], params)


This will be queued in the default queue rather than the repo specific queue.

But I guess the BorgInfoRepoJob is used to validate existing repo right ?

Yes, that's right. You have to pass an extra argument iirc.

Hi! sorry for being inactive, I was sick 😅

I see the BorgJob accepting 3 params, 2 are already there, the third one should be sending value default by default since it is not provided 🤔 I was wondering how it's deciding about queue (this question might sound dumb but 😅 )

is this the default value we are talking about 🤔 , because jobs like backup are added to 1 I guess

See this line:

vorta/src/vorta/application.py

Line 113 in 1f12782

job = BorgCreateJob(msg['cmd'], msg, profile.repo.id)

Hi! added the code, but is there any way to verify it that it is going in default queue since I'm unsure it's working properly :)

real-yfprojects · 2023-03-17T14:26:42Z

src/vorta/views/repo_add_dialog.py


+    def cancel_job(self):
+        if self.job:
+            self.job.cancel()


Sadly this only cancelt the job if its already running. If the job manager hasn't picked up the job yet, that is the job still sits in the queue, it won't be cancelled.

Hi! I'm a bit confused testing this, any suggestion on how can I test this ?

Currently there is no way to reproduce this with the GUI. So you can decide not to deal with it but instead write a code comment on the issue.

The code will be included in cancel_job method since it will check for both, if running or in queue, should I create a duplicate method for that and comment it ?

Hi! @real-yfprojects , Since this is not reproducible, I'm not sure that the code will work or not, then is it okay to push the code even it is commented ?

I can only decide after seeing the code.

real-yfprojects · 2023-03-21T08:42:59Z

I noticed that the cancel button no longer works.

DaffyTheDuck · 2023-03-21T09:19:08Z

I noticed that the cancel button no longer works.

when we try to cancel (close) the add repo dialog without hitting the OK? I noticed that too, I added a try-except block for that in cancel_job 👍🏼 I'll push the code once the default queue change is done 😄

DaffyTheDuck · 2023-04-07T06:50:42Z

The cancel button should work now 👍🏼

You are n't setting a meaningful status message yet which was requested in #1306.

real-yfprojects · 2023-04-08T09:21:00Z

src/vorta/views/repo_add_dialog.py

+            if self.job:
+                self.job.cancel()


There is no self.job currently.

There is no self.job currently.

Hm! The close() method is working!, but I also noticed that you have to cancel the job within a specific time gap it might vary from machine to machine i guess, but after that time gap it adds the repo anyways

Done 👍🏼

Hi! and sorry I was away leaving this PR open with no activity, I was actually having my Practical exams 😅

I've updated the code accordingly, waiting for your review @real-yfprojects 😄

real-yfprojects · 2023-04-21T18:09:59Z

Pls also show a status message while borg init/borg info is running.

DaffyTheDuck · 2023-04-21T19:15:38Z

Pls also show a status message while borg init/borg info is running.

Sorry! did not get that exactly

DaffyTheDuck · 2023-04-22T12:06:03Z

Pls also show a status message while borg init/borg info is running.

Hi! Did you mean, while the app is backing up the data? l instead of messages like Received SIGTERM or ERROR: Connection closed by remote host it should show Cancelled Adding Repository ? Because it shows the Cancelled adding repository message in AddRepoDialog 🤔

real-yfprojects · 2023-04-22T15:31:16Z

No it should show a message while the repository is accessed (verified) for the first time. Something like Adding repository or something more specific and preferably progress updates if available.

DaffyTheDuck · 2023-04-30T02:46:18Z

Hi! @real-yfprojects, sorry, this is taking longer than expected, I'm completely engrossed in preparation of my upcoming semester exam from May 8th. I will be completing this in a slow pace till then.

Sorry for inconvenience :)

real-yfprojects · 2023-04-30T05:31:11Z

No worries.
