screenshots page

[recluse4615]

it'd be nice to have a simpel screenshots page that just shows all screenshots across all versions, indexed by date

nothing crazy

[Miniontoby]

I have made some code, I haven't tested it yet, but will make an PR when I have tested it.

If you want then you can assign it to me, but yeah

[recluse4615]

sure, @Miniontoby - assigned!

you can follow the instructions here to get set up: https://github.com/minetest-world/mtlauncher/wiki/initial-set-up#developing-locally

just make sure when you PR to PR in to main!

I get this error when running npm run dev or npm run build

error: linker `link.exe` not found
  |
  = note: program not found

note: the msvc targets depend on the msvc linker but `link.exe` was not found

note: please ensure that VS 2013, VS 2015, VS 2017, VS 2019 or VS 2022 was installed with the Visual C++ option

But I installed the windows 10 sdk and the c++ build tools things

[recluse4615]

ddid you reboot your computer after installing them?

at a minimum you might need to restart your terminal (to update %PATH%) but probably best to restart your whole computer

Only after the C++ buildtools, not yet again for the win10 sdk, will do it now

[Miniontoby]

Rebooted my laptop and it does still not work...

[recluse4615]

hmm, you might want to try downloading visual studio 2022? https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/

looks like it's noted there at the bottom of the error, maybe i didn't have to do the step bc i already have visual studio installed 🤔

the "community" edition should be fine

I am using VS 2022 already!

[recluse4615]

i'm not too sure what to suggest at this point, googling the error just suggests you need to install the c++ build tools..
i would suggest maybe going through the tauri guide again, and double-y make sure you have everything installed exactly as they suggest, maybe you missed one of the "optional" addons? https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites/#setting-up-windows

[Miniontoby]

Also, may I know how to edit those .svelte files the best way? (as in which IDE/editor do you recommend)

[recluse4615]

to edit the project you can use whatever you want, svelte files are just standard html+js files although it does have some of its own conventions and quirks

for vscode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=svelte.svelte-vscode
for idea: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12375-svelte

[Miniontoby]

Just opened the Developer Command Prompt, and now I can do link.exe, still not in the main PowerShell from where I run npm run dev

I can try using C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.33.31629\bin\Hostx86\x86\link.exe

[recluse4615]

maybe you need to add C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.33.31629\bin\Hostx86\x86 to your %PATH%?

Thats what I thought as well, done it and it works

[Miniontoby]

Oke quick question:

I saw in src/lib a file called screenshots.js, but I think it would make more sense to have that inside the src/lib/api folder.

Was the file for a specific reason in that folder or not?

[recluse4615]

the api folder is supposed to differentiate between "integrations" and "libraries" if that makes sense, which is why the majority of the contents of the api folder are strictly to do fetches and parse data from external sources

it gets a bit muddy, because some of them like versions.js also include some functionality around local files, but was the best differentiator in my eyes.

i'd prefer to keep it under src/lib/, or potentially even make an src/lib/file/ directory for it, but that's mostly semantics tbh so i'm not massively fussed either way - some of the code needs a bit of cleaning up anyways as it went pretty quick from "v quick prototyping" to "hey, here's the source and dev builds!"

[Miniontoby]

Oke will just put it in the src/lib

Also I now get this error and the Minetest Launcher is fully white:

[recluse4615]

lol, looks like there's an escaping issue within sveltekit

move the mtlauncher to a folder that doesn't contain a ' and it should work just fine

[Miniontoby]

the getInstalledContent inside the src/lib/api/contentdb can be used to list all the screenshots, but yeah it would need to be moved into a different file, cause it doesn't have anything to do with contentdb, but will use it for now

Oh wait I already made that code myself

[Miniontoby]

Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C:/Users/Miniontoby/AppData/Roaming/world.minetest.mtlauncher/versions/5.6.1/screenshots/screenshot_20220927_124848.png
What to do with?

[recluse4615]

how are you trying to load the file?

you might need to utilise this, annoyingly: https://tauri.app/v1/api/js/tauri/#convertfilesrc

tauri has some pretty strict requirements for security, so will need some changes to src-tauri/tauri.conf.json, you probably need to add something like:

"protocol": {
    "asset": true,
    "assetScope": [
        "$APP/versions/*"
    ]
}

before this line: https://github.com/minetest-world/mtlauncher/blob/main/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json#L28

[recluse4615]

it may be beneficial to also create something like a LocalImage component, eg under $lib/components/image/LocalImage.svelte which would probably look like...

<script>
import { convertFileSrc } from '@tauri-apps/api/tauri';

export let src;
</script>

<img src={convertFileSrc(src)} />

and then you can call it in the screenshots page like...

import LocalImage from '$lib/components/image/LocalImage.svelte';
</script>
// ...
{#each screenshots as screenshot}
    <LocalImage src={screenshot.path} />
{/each}

(depending on implementation, just a rough guideline)

sorry - didn't realise that it would be this intense! lmao

[Miniontoby]

Now giving me this:
GET https://asset.localhost/C%3A%5CUsers%5CMiniontoby%5CAppData%5CRoaming%5Cworld.minetest.mtlauncher%5Cversions%2F5.6.1%2Fscreenshots%5Cscreenshot_20220927_124848.png net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I do have the protocol thing added

[recluse4615]

try setting the csp to this:
"default-src 'self'; font-src 'self' https://fonts.googleapis.com; img-src 'self' asset: https://asset.localhost https://blog.minetest.net https://content.minetest.net"

on this line: https://github.com/minetest-world/mtlauncher/blob/main/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json#L91

[Miniontoby]

Still it says GET https://asset.localhost/C%3A%5CUsers%5CMiniontoby%5CAppData%5CRoaming%5Cworld.minetest.mtlauncher%5Cversions%2F5.6.1%2Fscreenshots%5Cscreenshot_20220927_124848.png net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

And yeah I have also read it:

Convert a device file path to an URL that can be loaded by the webview. Note that asset: and https://asset.localhost must be allowed on the csp value configured on tauri.conf.json > tauri > security. Example CSP value: "csp": "default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' asset: https://asset.localhost" to use the asset protocol on image sources.

Additionally, the asset must be allowlisted under tauri.conf.json > tauri > allowlist > protocol, and its access scope must be defined on the assetScope array on the same protocol object.

Even when I got to it on my browser it just doesn't work

But yeah for now I am going to stop working on it, will do it tomorow, btw I also added like the keypress event for the password box for the Enter key to then login instead of having to click the Login button

[recluse4615]

let me try it myself locally, will report back here - sorry for the issues here lol, i'm still learning tauri too 😅

[recluse4615]

it seems to work for me!

using some test code just like this:

<script>
	import { convertFileSrc } from '@tauri-apps/api/tauri';
    import { appDir } from "@tauri-apps/api/path";

    import { onMount } from 'svelte';

    let dir;
    onMount(async () => {
        dir = await appDir();
	})
</script>
{#if dir}
<img src={convertFileSrc(`${dir}/versions/5.6.0/screenshots/screenshot_20220902_160209.png`)} />
{/if}

is it possible that you already have DNS resolution for asset.localhost or something?

[recluse4615]

(this is with the CSP & protocol changes i mentioned above earlier)

[Miniontoby]

I dont have any subdomain for asset.localhost configured at all, I think

But that commit might help "protocol-asset" wasnt in that file

UPDATE: thanks to that it now works!

[Miniontoby]

Added thanks to #20

[Miniontoby]

Btw if there are any other stuff/features you need, let me know, cause I love to help out with this cool new project.

And because this now mainly focusses on servers (as far as I have seen) you could add a csm install/update/enable/disable menu thing, but then still @rubenwardy needs to add csm upload to contentdb or we need to come up with a way

[recluse4615]

thanks so much for your contribution!

there's one note i added which is that i think the screenshots page should grab all screenshots from all installed versions, i don't think there's a need to make it all rely on your current version

outside of that, everything looks good!

csm support is being tracked under #11 but since there's no official csm support in contentdb yet (since it's still experimental, iirc) i wouldn't expect to see much in the immediate future
we could create our own cdb just for csm in the meantime, but imo that's a bit overkill and i don't particularly want to be a single point of failure for that, lol

the launcher isn't going to be so focused on servers, but moreso supposed to be a "central hub" for everything to reduce the barrier of entry, but obviously a big selling point for something like minetest is its free and interoperable(*) multiplayer, and i think that it makes sense to put some legwork in to making that experience better (re: saved passwords, per-server identities, and comprehensive ways to see, filter, and query for available servers)

the biggest thing outstanding for that, at the moment, ironically is just gutting the current ServerListTable.svelte file to make it more lightweight.. i'd like to be able to include it in multiple locations (eg: game pages, to show "these servers play on this gameid!", or mod pages for the same reason, or even on a "home page" where it shows your favourite servers etc) but it's just far too bulky for that. this is tracked in #3

outside of that, if you feel like it - you're happy to pick any of the existing issues and take a stab at them! #12 is already done, and #4 is a wip on my end on the feature/settings branch, but you're free to jump in to anything that you like the sound of ^^

[Miniontoby]

there's one note i added which is that i think the screenshots page should grab all screenshots from all installed versions, i don't think there's a need to make it all rely on your current version

I can make it so you have the selected version and then below there one with all screenshots. Will add that into the pull request and then you can merge it

[Miniontoby]

Added it to the PR now, You can merge it if you want

[Miniontoby]

It would be nice if you join my IRC, hostname: irc.ircforever.org, ports: 6667 [No-ssl] and 6697 [SSL]. #minetest
Cause then we can discuss without having to use github issue...

[recluse4615]

thanks again for your contribution @Miniontoby ! i'll play around with it and make a few changes that were partially related (eg: click a screenshot to pop up a "higher resolution" version)

if you need to reach me, you can do so via the minetest matrix (i'm recluse4615 there) or via discord (rec#7338)
