2021-04-19cleanup: don't hardcode array lengthGravatar Dirk Hohndel
Move the ARRAY_SIZE macro into a header file and use it to determine the number of cloud servers that we need to check. Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2021-04-19cloudstorage: update remote if cloud server changesGravatar Dirk Hohndel
If we can't reach the cloud server in the URL (which might come from the settings or be passed in by the user), we try the alternative server(s). If we end up changing servers, we need to update the remote that we have already parsed from the URL. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2021-04-19cloudstorage: try alternative server if first connection failsGravatar Dirk Hohndel
If we can't reach our preferred server, try using a different one. The diff makes more sense when ignoring white space. With this we check the connection to the cloud server much earlier and in case of failure to connect try a different cloud_base_url. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2021-04-19cloudstorage: try to pick between multiple cloud serversGravatar Dirk Hohndel
The backend infrastructure will soon be able to support more than one cloud server which automagically stay in sync with each other. One critical requirement for that to work is that once a session was started with one of the servers, the complete session happens with that server - we must not switch from server to server while doing a git transaction. To make sure that's the case, we aren't trying to use DNS tricks to make this load balancing scheme work, but instead try to determine at program start which server is the best one to use. Right now this is super simplistic. Two servers, one in the US, one in Europe. By default we use the European server (most of our users appear to be in Europe), but if we can figure out that the client is actually in the Americas, use the US server. We might improve that heuristic over time, but as a first attempt it seems not entirely bogus. The way this is implemented is a simple combination of two free webservices that together appear to give us a very reliable estimate which continent the user is located on. api.ipify.org gives us our external IP address ip-api.com gives us the continent that IP address is on If any of this fails or takes too long to respond, we simply ignore it since either server will work. One oddity is that if we decide to change servers we only change the settings that are stored on disk, not the runtime preferences. This goes back to the comment above that we have to avoid changing servers in mid sync. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2021-04-19cloudstorage: some cleanup of cloud url handlingGravatar Dirk Hohndel
We know the preference is never empty, so stop testing for this. But don't maintain two different preferences with basically the same content. Instead add the '/git' suffix where needed and keep this all in one place. Simplify the extraction of the branch name from the cloud URL. Also a typo fix and a new comment.

2019-10-09Cloud storage: remove outdated certificate hackGravatar Dirk Hohndel
The old server certificates where not recognized on some older platform, so we hardcoded the hex digest of the valid certificate and ignored the error. Those certificates have been replaced last week, so there is no point to this hack anymore - also, we should always show the SSL error, not just in verbose mode. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2019-08-08Cleanup: move error reporting function declarations to errorhelper.hGravatar Berthold Stoeger
Move the declarations of the "report_error()" and "set_error_cb()" functions and the "verbose" variable to errorhelper.h. Thus, error-reporting translation units don't have to import the big dive.h header file. Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>
2019-07-18Cleanup: remove includes from qthelper.hGravatar Berthold Stoeger
To reduce interdependencies, remove the dive.h and divelist.h includes in qthelper.h Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>
2019-04-12get rid of some foreach and Q_FOREACH constructsGravatar Rolf Eike Beer
See https://www.kdab.com/goodbye-q_foreach/ This is reduced to the places where the container is const or can be made const without the need to always introduce an extra variable. Sadly qAsConst (Qt 5.7) and std::as_const (C++17) are not available in all supported setups. Also do some minor cleanups along the way. Signed-off-by: Rolf Eike Beer <eike@sf-mail.de>
2018-09-10prefs: git_local_only is not a preferenceGravatar Dirk Hohndel
It's the current state of the app, so it should be a global variable, not a preference. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2018-06-04Cleanup: fold core/helpers.h into core/qthelper.hGravatar Berthold Stoeger
helpers.h included qthelper.h and all functions declared in helpers.h were defined in qthelper.h. Therefore fold the former into the latter, since the split seems completely arbitrary. While doing so, change the return-type of get_dc_nichname from "const QString" to "QString". Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>
2017-12-06Allocate CheckCloudConnection object on stackGravatar Berthold Stoeger
Fixes a memory leak: CheckCloudConnection was allocated on the heap, but never deleted. Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>
2017-06-23Typo of translated stringGravatar Jan Mulder
Trivial typo. Signed-off-by: Jan Mulder <jlmulder@xs4all.nl>

Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2017-06-18Clean up git storage update messagesGravatar Dirk Hohndel
Translate all of them, but also remove some redundant or possibly misleading messages. These are now seen by users, not just developers trying to debug the code. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2017-06-17QML UI: redesign the user notificationGravatar Dirk Hohndel
The old system of cloud access updates with fake percentages just wasn't helpful. Even worse, it hid a lot important information from the user. This should be more useful (but it will require that we localize the messages sent from the git progress notifications and make them more 'user ready'). Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>

2016-07-23Allow the user to give longer cloud timeout on the command lineGravatar Dirk Hohndel
When stuck in areas with really bad internet 5 seconds may not be enough, but making the timeout longer in general seems the wrong way to go. So keep the default 5 seconds but allow the user to override that with subsurface --cloud-timeout=NN Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2016-07-17Stay offline if the cloud server is unreachableGravatar Dirk Hohndel
It makes no sense to keep trying. Maybe we need a UI to force it online again, but for now this works much better when using cloud storage while actually offline. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2016-04-05QML UI: more hacking around with git progress reportingGravatar Dirk Hohndel
I gave up on the magic numbers and instead report simply linear progress. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
2016-04-04Move subsurface-core to core and qt-mobile to mobile-widgetsGravatar Dirk Hohndel
Having subsurface-core as a directory name really messes with autocomplete and is obviously redundant. Simmilarly, qt-mobile caused an autocomplete conflict and also was inconsistent with the desktop-widget name for the directory containing the "other" UI. And while cleaning up the resulting change in the path name for include files, I decided to clean up those even more to make them consistent overall. This could have been handled in more commits, but since this requires a make clean before the build, it seemed more sensible to do it all in one. Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
