Merge lp:~mvo/unity/sc-launcher-integration-fixes into lp:unity

[Michael Vogt]

Software center launcher integration fixes. This will setup the correct desktop file when software-center applications "fly" into the launcher.

This branch adds support for "native" software center unity launcher integration.

This means that when a application is installed via software-center (and soon via the dash) the icon of
that application will "fly" into the launcher and the launcher will track progress. Once the application
is installed the "temp" desktop file is replaced with the "real" desktop file of the installed app.

The reason this swapping needs to be done is to ensure that unity tracks the real application and not
the copy from app-install-data-ubuntu, e.g. to ensure that on uninstall the application is removed.

I would appreciated a initial review and feedback on this as I had to change bit in "ApplicationLauncherIcon"
from private to protected to make it possible to update the data from SoftwareCenterLauncherIcon.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Setting to Needs-review now to get feedback and get it merged if its good. There will be another
branch on top of this one that adds support for installs from software-center-agent.

do not use sc_pkgname from the aptdaemon metadata and instead reply on the temp desktop filename that the software-center uses to substitute for the real one

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Trevinho was kind enough to give me some feedback on irc that I want to address here :)

<Trevinho> mvo: another thing.. instead of adding FRIEND_TEST(TestSoftwareCenterLauncherIcon, DesktopFileTransformTrivial); and making unity directly depending on gtest when building, just mock the class in the tests so that you cana ccess to protected members (or, just add a friend class TestSoftwareCenterLauncherIcon; definition in the header)

I looked at this now and gtest_prod.h is very lean and basicly is just the lines:
  #define FRIEND_TEST(test_case_name, test_name) friend class test_case_name##_##test_name##_Test
So it should be fine to include it even in the production code. Plus there is a build-dependency on libgtest-dev already so that should be ok too (as long as I'm not overlooking anything else).

I added another test now and look forward to feedback. From my POV its merge-able now, but of course I'm happy to fix any issues.

Yeah, but considering how is defined... I really prefer if you get rid of these macros and you just add at the end of the class a "friend class TestSoftwareCenterLauncherIcon" declaration. It's the same but cleaner (and it's how we're used to do in general) :)

The main thing I'd like to be changed, is the apt daemon to send a desktop-id instead, so that you can simply use DesktopUtilities::GetDesktopPathById in GetActualDesktopFileAfterInstall

Hi Marco,

thanks for your review!

Thanks for this explaination. I fixed this now in r2916 to use a Mock
instead of the FRIEND_TEST().

> The main thing I'd like to be changed, is the apt daemon to send a desktop-id instead, so that you can simply use DesktopUtilities::GetDesktopPathById in GetActualDesktopFileAfterInstall

I'm not sure I understand this (but I'm pretty new to unity, so that
is ok I hope :). The daemon will send a temp desktop file at first
because the real desktop file is not installed yet. That might be
/tmp/software-center-agent:dsfdsafdsaf:meep.desktop. So sending the
desktop-id would be sending
application:///tmp/software-center-agent:dsfdsafdsaf:meep.desktop
AIUI? Given that its a temp name and not in the xdg path it would
still send the full path? Or are you suggesting that it should create
the temp desktop file in a xdg .local dir?

Once the app is installed, the GetActualDesktopFileAfterInstall() will
take the rfind(":") part ("meep.desktop") and make that
/usr/share/applications/meep.desktop. At this point it would be
application://meep.desktop. But it needs to be the one in
/usr/share/applications because if its a temp/local one it won't go
away on remove of the application.

Could you please help me understanding how I should use
GetDesktopPathById() or how it will help here?

Thanks!,
 Michael

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

From irc (just so that its recorded here):

<Trevinho> mvo: gave a look.. Basically I mean that once you've installed the app, then you can make apt to send to unity the desktop id of the new file... So this means "/tmp/software-center-agent:desktop-id.desktop" for instance... At this point you don't need to do all the manual search you're doing to get from it the real path... Just get the id substring and use the utility function
<mvo> Trevinho: ok, so that would mean that there needs to be a new dbus call for unity, right? to replace a existing launcher icon (the temp one that is just valid during the install) with the new one?
<Trevinho> mvo: imho that would be better, so that you can keep all the low level stuff there
<Trevinho> whie unity will be just informed with the actual result
<Trevinho> mvo: or just pass that during the "On-Finished" signal...
<mvo> Trevinho: ok, I will think about it
<Trevinho> mvo: but if you don't want to do that, it's fine to use the current way, but use the utility function for doing the real parsing
<mvo> Trevinho: ok, thanks. I would prefer to leave it as is for now, but I will use the utility function

I started working on this now but so far did not succeed to update the tests as for some reason XDG_DATA_HOME pointing to the local builddir is not quite working, I will keep poking at it.

[lp:~mvo/unity/sc-launcher-integration-fixes]

2917. By Michael Vogt on 2012-11-23

merged from trunk and resolved conflict

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I figured out why setting XDG_DATA_HOME is not working reliable in my tests. Gio/Glib will setup its internal search path just once (see gio/gdesktopappinfo.c:get_appplications_search_path()) and cache it then.

But DesktopUtilities::GetDataDirectories()/GetSystemDataDirectories() does not do that. Which leads to confusing behaviour, i.e. when using g_desktop_app_info_new_* the dirs are only respected once in the tests, but all other code in the DesktopUtilities is honoring a more dynamic update approach.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I see two ways around this:
- init the XDG_DATA_DIRS env very early globally (and hope that it does not break other stuff)
- reimplement g_desktop_app_info_new() inside GetDesktopPathById() to do the searching manually and then using g_desktop_app_info_new_from_filename()
(simply drop the tests, but that sounds like not exactly a good idea ;)

Feedback welcome.

> I see two ways around this:

Yeah, probably this is the best solution... I think we already moved the test .desktop files to a proper position, so it should be fine to just init this value in test_main*

[lp:~mvo/unity/sc-launcher-integration-fixes]

2918. By Michael Vogt on 2012-11-26

use DesktopUtilities::GetDesktopPathById() and update tests accordingly

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Thanks again Marco!

I updated the code now to use DesktopUtilities::GetDesktopPathByID() and updated the tests and moved the init of the XDG_DATA_DIRS into test_main.cpp. Both the automatic tests and manual tests with applications from app-install-data-ubuntu and from purchases in the software-center work for me now with animation, update on finish to the right app and error handling (i.e. removal on cancel etc).

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

35 + if (_desktop_file.find("/usr/share/app-install/desktop") == 0)
136 + {

Wouldn't better to check if it contains "/share/app-install/desktop" avoiding prefixes?

Overall looks good now, but I'm not sure this is still working with the new AppManager in trunk.

2919. By Michael Vogt on 2012-12-04

launcher/SoftwareCenterLauncherIcon.cpp: do not look at /usr prefix, thanks to Marco Trevisan

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Thanks Marco!

I removed the fix for the prefix now and do the check as you suggested.

Now I merged in trunk and resolved the conflicts and indeed, from the look of the code I'm pretty
sure this won't work anymore as the way the application is swapped from the temp desktop file to the
new final desktop file destination has changed completely.

Given that I wonder if maybe the approach reconsidered. I like your original idea of having two dbus calls,
one for setting the "in-progress" app with progress and all and once that is finished, swapping that for the
real one. I will look into that and see how feasible this is, it seems like its a cleaner approach anyway.

Cheers,
 Michael

This is now ready again with the new ApplicationManager framework. The tests are ported too, only the "TEST_F(TestSoftwareCenterLauncherIcon, Animate)" case is missing as DNDCollectionWindow is gone and my naive
approach of replacing it with XndCollectionWindow does not work. I will keep exploring, but would appreciate
a look at the rest of the MP again.

  nux::ObjectPtr<DNDCollectionWindow> cwin(new DNDCollectionWindow);
  nux::ObjectPtr<Launcher> launcher(new Launcher(win.GetPointer(), cwin));

just do:

  nux::ObjectPtr<Launcher> launcher(new Launcher(win.GetPointer()));
