v3.2.5-beta3

https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/tag/v3.2.5-beta3
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/wiki

Changes since v3.2.5-beta2

Addressed issues with config precedence
- The whole "sessionStorage" thing was too complicated and I've removed it.
- Settings are only saved if you click the "Save" button.
- A new "Save" button was added to the menubar.
- The save buttons now change color when a setting is changed to remind you to save them.
- The underlying configuration precedence stuff was changed to handle a wider variety of cases.

v3.2.5-beta2

I'm disavowing all knowledge of v3.2.5-beta1 This release cleans up old installs of DueUI automatically.

Download: https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/download/v3.2.5-beta2/DueUI-v3.2.5-beta2.zip
Wiki: https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/wiki
Pay particular attention to Settings: https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/wiki/Settings

Breaking Changes:
- This was true for the DueUI 3.2.0 release but I'm going to reiterate...You MUST be running a Duet board or Duet Software Framework installation at release 3.1.0 or higher. There were simply too many object model differences between DSF and Standalone installations and I couldn't keep up with them.
- If you stored your DueUI settings in your dueui_config.json file, the syntax has changed slightly. Instead of declaring the settings as a class class DueUISettings {, they're now declared as an object: configFileSettings = {. See the new default config for exact syntax. Other than this change, a configuration that worked in the previous version should still work as long as it was compatible with RRF 3.1.
- The theme setting has been replaced by theme_name and theme_path. If you want to use one of the standard themes, you can just specify its name in theme_name and don't specify theme_path. For instance theme_path: "Darkly". If you want to use an external bootstrap theme, you can provide the full URL to the css file in theme_path.
- I'm no longer going to host a DueUI installation at dueui.org. It's just too much trouble to maintain.
Enhancements:
- There are no longer separate downloads and default configuration files for DSF vs Standalone installations. The same zip download and default configuration will work for both types of installations.
- You no longer have to choose between DSF and Standalone installation types in Settings. It's autodetected.
- There is now only one poll interval setting when operating in a Standalone installation. With recent changes made to RRF, the other poll intervals are no longer needed.
- Settings changes are now automatically saved to the browser's tab-specific "sessionStorage". This allows you to reload the tab while preserving any settings changes you've made. The changes are discarded when you close the tab. If you want to save them across browser restarts or or tab closures, click the "Save" button as you did previously.
- The underlying JavaScript and CSS files have been reorganized to make loading from standalone devices less resource intensive. I was noticing that sometimes the pages weren't rendering and realized that the Duet had too many connections open to service the requests.
- An "alt" property was added to the image widget to allow setting alternate text to be displayed if the image or stream can't be loaded.
Behind The Scenes
- There was a lot of refactoring done to the connection and polling code that should make it more reliable (and easier to maintain for me).

Please open a separate topic for any issues.

@stuartofmt Have you had a chance to try this version out?

thwe · 17 Apr 2021, 08:29

Hello,

I updated from 3.0.2 and now the browser can no longer find the config.

After pointing to my printer, in my case http://192.168.178.29/dueui.html got the error

and then

then come to the page

After Save and Refresh get always the same errors from my browsers (Firefox, GoogleChrome, Edge)

This is my electronic:

and my files on /sys:

After backup to the old version everything works fine, please help.

stuartofmt · 17 Apr 2021, 16:28

@thwe

There are still some residual bugs around the configurations that @gtj0 is working on. It does recognise (completely) the configFileSettings

If you want to use this beta version: Commented out the configFileSettings and instead, invoked from a url for example (from my setup with your values):

localhost:8080/dueui.html?dueui_config_url=http://localhost:8080/dueui_config_thwe.json&theme=Darkly&duet_host=192.168.178.29&duet_polling_enabled=1

The form of the url paths may be slightly different depending on where you are running dueui.

gtj0 · 17 Apr 2021, 22:44

@stuartofmt @thwe Yep. I'm working on them. Should have a release up tomorrow evening (GMT -06:00).

thwe · 18 Apr 2021, 09:41

@stuartofmt

thanks for your support, but unfortunately it still does not work.

I have used the following in the browser:

http://192.168.178.29/dueui.html?dueui_config_url=http://192.168.178.29/dueui_config_default.json&theme=Darkly&duet_host=192.168.178.29&duet_polling_enabled=1

http://192.168.178.29/dueui.html?dueui_config_url=http://192.168.178.29/dueui_config_default.json&theme=Darkly&duet_host=192.168.178.29&duet_polling_enabled=0

and no matter if I call with the original config or with my modified one, I always get the message:

Will wait for the next release.

@thwe said in DueUI Release v3.2.5-beta3 is Now Available:

and no matter if I call with the original config or with my modified one, I always get the message:

It looks like you are installing Dueui on your Duet (Standalone). Yes?
In which case the form of the url is different. See the link here:
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/wiki/Settings

Not the way I'm set up but its something like this:

http://192.168.178.29/dueui.html?dueui_config_url=dueui_config_default.json&theme=Darkly&duet_polling_enabled=1

It might be best to wait for the next beta release.

In any case and to help in the future. Here is what I do when using the full url approach installing Dueui on a separate http server:

Make sure the configFileSettings are commented out:

/*
 configFileSettings
<snip>
*/

Make sure the browser is clean i.e. delete history cookies etc.
Make sure the duet code is in the root of the http server (i.e. not in a sub-directory)

http root
               dueui.html
               configfile.json
               etc.
             /css
             /js
             /fonts

This last point I have found can be an issue with Dueui not being able to find the config file (for example when everything dueui is in its own subdirectory off the http root).

Also - you need polling_enabled=1 otherwise Dueui will not "talk" to duet_host.

gtj0 · 19 Apr 2021, 16:28

@thwe Actually, on a standalone Duet with with the default config, the url should just be

http://192.168.178.29/dueui.html?theme_name=Darkly&duet_polling_enabled=1
Note that "theme" has changed to "theme_name".
That should work.

The reason it didn't is that if you use a full URL for the config file it has to be in the form the server understands. In standalone mode, the Duet web server requires the file be in the form

dueui_config_url=http://<your_duet>/rr_download?name=/sys/dueui_config_default.json

If the config file is on the Duet itself, you don't need to use the full URL. Just use...

dueui_config_url=/sys/dueui_config_default.json

DueUI adjusts that internally so that's portable across all Duets and the DSF.

I'm still working on the next beta. I think it'll be today.

@stuartofmt said in DueUI Release v3.2.5-beta3 is Now Available:

It looks like you are installing Dueui on your Duet (Standalone). Yes?

correctly

@gtj0 said in DueUI Release v3.2.5-beta3 is Now Available:

http://192.168.178.29/dueui.html?theme_name=Darkly&duet_polling_enabled=1
Note that "theme" has changed to "theme_name".
That should work.

With this call and with the original config I get the same error again "

After canceling the browser data get:

"No config file was found at ' 'http://192.168.178.29/dueui_config_default.json'"

gtj0 · 20 Apr 2021, 13:30

@thwe OK, I'll get it figured out.

If you could...

Open the debugger by right clicking anywhere in the main window and then clicking on "Inspect" or "Inspect element".
Click on the "Console" tab in the debugger window
Recreate the problem
Save the console log to a file
- For Chrome based browsers, right click anywhere in the Console tab and select "Save As".
- For Firefox, right click on a log message and select "Save visible messages to..."
Attach the resulting log here.

@thwe Yeah that was perfect. It's the same issue that's already been reported. What's happening is that for some reason, the password is blank but the Duet still requires the parameter to be sent even if its blank.

I'm working on it still.

gtj0 · 25 Apr 2021, 21:33

@stuartofmt @thwe I think I've got everything fixed. Sorry for the delay.

thwe · 26 Apr 2021, 16:50

Installed v3.2.5-beta4 via DWC -> File -> System -> UPLOAD SYSTEM FILE

google chrome + firefox: clear browser cache and data
open: http://192.168.178.29/dueui.html?theme_name=Darkly&duet_polling_enabled=1
get the same error: "Could not connect to 192.168.178.29 or retrieve any config files"

Debugger Log's:
Firefox: console-export-2021-4-26_18-23-44.txt
Google Chrome: 192.168.178.29-1619455172710.txt

get then

after click "OK"

gtj0 · 26 Apr 2021, 19:13

@thwe Well, at least it found the config file.
Unfortunately, I just realized which version of RRF you're running.
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/tag/v3.2.5-beta2
has a note in "Breaking Changes" ...

This was true for the DueUI 3.2.0 release but I'm going to reiterate...You MUST be running a Duet board or Duet Software Framework installation at release 3.1.0 or higher. There were simply too many object model differences between DSF and Standalone installations and I couldn't keep up with them.

I should have caught this earlier, sorry.

Ther bottom line is that you should stick with the current 3.0.2 until you can upgrade RRF.

gtj0 · 3 May 2021, 11:25

@stuartofmt Had a chance to try beta4 yet?
