Description

Recent changes to the package system require the GUI is updated to match.

pkg_install.php will now start the installation process in the background and make AJAX calls to read the installation log file.

A similar system will be used to get the progress status to drive the indicator.

Updated by Anonymous over 8 years ago

The package installation system has been updated such that:
  • The installer is run in the background so that the GUI remains responsive
  • The GUI polls for status/progress via AJAX
  • The progress bar works correctly, obtaining its information from the installer JSON output
  • The exit status of each step is indicated by "Success" or "Failure" in the text window
  • A banner is displayed showing "Wait", "Success" and "failed" (paraphrasing). THe background color is changed to match the message.
ToDo:
  • Handle page reloads and catch some of the less obvious errors.
  • Combine the pfSense-upgrade and pfSense-upgrade-GUI.sh scripts

See #5291 for gif demo
