Avoid compilation warnings about deprecated call #359

milouse · 2023-07-24T20:41:29Z

As of NetworkManager 1.22, a lot of function should be asynchronously called.

This MR remove all the compilation warning still visible (at least on Archlinux). Maybe it’s only preparatory stuff for Debian/Ubuntu distros.

Hey thanks for your branch! I left a few inline comments

I think we want to make sure we're actually handling all the possible cases here rather than just ignoring a warning

I’m not sure what it is all about.

The Utils.CustomMode seems to contain unrelated things: the PROXY_* constants and 2 HOTSPOT_* constants. In the case of this switch_status function, it looks like being called only from 3 places:

Widgets/DeviceItem.vala:49 & 51

Views/ProxyPage.vala:97

Views/VPNPage.vala:170

None of these call are dealing with HOTSPOT_* related stuff.

That’s why I proposed to silently skip possibilities which should never occur. However a more robust/clean solution would be to remove the HOTSPOT_* constants from the CustomMode enum if we are not using them anymore? It looks like those constants have been forgotten in #176

And if we remove them from CustomMode, maybe we should rename this enum to ProxyMode?

What do you think?

Ah okay yeah, that makes sense since hotspot is handled already we should remove those from CustomMode and I agree makes sense to rename this to ProxyMode

This seems like we should handle this more carefully as well instead of just silencing the warning. It seems like a spinner isn't appropriate for states like "disconnected" or "unavailable" for example

I’ll see what I can propose to better wrap all those cases.

Thank you very much for you review, I’ll check that!

No problem. I’ll change the code in this direction then.

We still have one last issue regarding various wifi state. I didn’t take time either to look for a better solution than just activating the spinner. If I don’t find more time or a working solution for now, I might just rollback my change and just insert a TODO for a better skilled person (I’m very poor when it comes to design/UX).

milouse · 2023-08-30T12:54:57Z

Ok, I just take time to do it now. I also work on missing NM.DeviceState. From my point of view it was finally not that hard. However I did introduce new translation terms, don’t know if you are ok with that or not.

Connect button should be hidden by default (if we know there is a problem or the device is not usable, we should not let the user infinitely click on something broken).

This one is also a failed state, but the resolution is quite different: we leave the connect button as a possibility for the end-user to be shown again a log in popup. I also introduce a new translation term to explain what is wrong.

All those states reflect an ongoing connection, thus I put them together.

Activated is now the default state. Nothing to do as hidding the connect button is now the default behavior.

I introduced new steps as:

deactivating: the same as the "prepare" step, but in reverse, when the device is disconnecting. Thus it also trigger the spinner. I also added the new translation term "Disconnecting" as a reverse for "Connecting".

disconnected: this is a default "nothing to do" state, when the device is just disconnected, without any issue ongoing. As we hide the connect button by default, this case is used to show it. Finally I plug the "unknown" state to it instead of the first "error" state as unknown can be for a lot of other reason, not necessarily an error. Let see in the futur if it would be better plugged to an error state.

I use the "user-busy" icon to display the error, as for the failed DeviceState on line 117 above in order to be coherent.

Rebased on last master.

danirabbit · 2024-01-11T20:28:53Z

Hey sorry for not reviewing promptly. This has been hard to review because it changes several unrelated things that all have to be reviewed separately. It's much better to propose separate branches with unrelated changes.

danirabbit

Can you revert the changes in WifiMenuItem and propose that separately? That doesn't seem related to resolving the deprecation warnings with NM

As of NM 1.22

milouse · 2024-02-23T10:22:11Z

Hi, and verry sorry for the long silence.

I just rebased the branch on the last main state, updating it for gtk4 port.

Can you revert the changes in WifiMenuItem and propose that separately? That doesn't seem related to resolving the deprecation warnings with NM

Actually my changes there were to address a warning about missing states in the switch/case statement, thus for me it’s still related to the topic of this MR (removing as much warning as possible). However I can understand you prefer to separate each fix step. Can you confirm your prefer 3 different MR?

danirabbit · 2024-03-12T17:27:09Z

@milouse Yes please 3 separate pull requests would make a lot more sense here. The change to use async methods I can easily approve and merge immediately but the changes to the proxy enum I think might need some further investigation and the changes to the wifitem definitely needs a completely separate review as well

milouse · 2024-10-16T09:21:45Z

Hi, and sorry I’m not using elementary any more, thus I lose interest in the matter. I wish you all the best, and thanks for all the fish!
