Package installation GUI updates
Added by Anonymous about 9 years ago.
Updated about 9 years ago.
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.
- Tracker changed from Bug to Todo
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
- Status changed from Assigned to Resolved
Scripts combined and reloads handled.
