1ab42b298d UiElement: add unit test to cover the doRevealYourself functionality
...which is now kind-of specified and we're providing a default implementation,
so it should be documented in AbstractTangible_test
2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
026049a13c UiElement: likewise integrate the Revealer functor (#1162) 2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
41e0496576 NotificationDisplay: now able to build the expand functionality
...by delegating to an Expander placed into the ErrorLogDisplay widget
2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
3f327b335a UiElement: switch MockElement to rely on the new functor based default impl
...which is implicit verified through AbstractTangible_test::markState()

17bcdd952a UiElement: design of helper abstractions (#1162)
to strive at a generic implementation for
- expanding/collapsing a widget
- revealing a widget

which obviously somehow involes storing a closure
2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
837c6d11ff NotificationDisplay: solve the problem with space allocation
as it turns out, we need to set the property_expand() on the child widget
within Gtk::Expander explicitly, to cause the child to grab and additional
available screen space (which obviously is what we want in case of a
log display with scrollbars)
2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
bc3eb7f8da NotificationDisplay: experiment to build a collapsed display
basically Gtk::Expander will do the trick.
However, resizing of the enclosing panel is not handled properly,
the log does not expand to take up the available space, as it did
automaticall when just added directly into the frame

a0b80d8a46 NotificationDisplay: preliminary plans regarding information display in the UI
...while traveling with the train over the Schwäbische Alb to Karlsruhe;
on my way to FrOSCon 2018

7846460530 NotificationDisplay: code up controller protocol in NotificationHub
...mostly by delegating to (stubbed) functions in ErrorLogDisplay
2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
a151f28d86 NotificationDisplay: solved that nasty topic of dock access for now
phew...
2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
67ac8601d8 DockAccess: implement preliminary simplistic lookup and allocation 2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
76e79c02ee NotificationDisplay: view allocation can be pushed into the access functor
no need to define a private function on Wizard anymore, it just forwards the call
to the service actually implementing the view allocation. For now this is the
PanelLocator (and eventually this will be the ViewLocator / ViewSpecDSL)
2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
855944eff3 NotificationDisplay: turn the error log into an optional display 2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
dcde80c4cd DockAccess: wire the new service through the Wizard 2018-09-14 21:06:13 +02:00
8755153d95 DockAccess: consider a preliminary lookup implementation within PanelLocator
PanelLocator is a sub component of the WindowLocator (top-level GUI service).
Eventually this shall become a mere widget/component access service, with the
actual lookup and allocation logic layered on top through ViewLocator, configurable
via ViewSpec-DSL.

We can not implement the full scheme right now, since we're lacking knowledge
about internals of a typical Lumiera UI widget

c0dca2d978 DockAccess: add lookup-by-Type function to PanelManager
...now the mess multiplies
2018-09-14 21:06:12 +02:00
987aad44c1 DockAccess: add ability to retrieve a panel via PanelManager (#1144)
This is only a premature hack, since the whole structure of PanelManager is somewhat broken.
Moreover, the ViewLocator is not really ready for use yet, so this hack at least
allows us to "reach into" a top-level window and "grab" the pannel we need.

The ErrorLogWidget is allocated and placed elsewhere
and not owned by the NotificationHub controller.

0c8151cb2f NotificationDisplay: decide upon the architecture for handling notification messages (#1102)
* have a dedicated "information hub" controller, which acts a receiver of "error log messages" on the UI-Bus
 * let that controller in turn allocate an apropriate view on demand
2018-09-14 21:06:12 +02:00
06b3c382f3 DemoGuiRoundtrip: expand on that idea (#1099) and start analysis how to create that UI component
The goal is to build a (in itself completely meaningless) ping-pong interaction
between the UI and Proc-Layer, for the purpose of driving the integration ahead.

The immediate challenge is how to create and place an apropriate "GuiComponentView",
i.e. a Tangible, which is connected to the UI-Bus with an predictable EntryID.
And the problem is to get that settled right now, without building the envisioned
generic framework for View allocation in the UI. When this is achieved,
it should be a rather small step to actually send those notifications over
the UI-Bus, which is basically implemented and ready by now.

3b8965c0b6 Heisenbug hunt.... Segfault related to regular expression (#1158)
not yet able to reproduce these seemingly random segfaults
2018-09-14 21:04:25 +02:00
c5bdb89b5b BusTerm_test: obvious performance improvement on RegExp search
Greedy wildcard match .+ is unnecessary, since in case of a positive match,
the next given expression always follows immediately. We just want to skip
over some "syntactic noise"

This change makes the matching time linear in the size of the log.

But unfortunately, I still occasionally see an Segmentation Fault.
It seems to arise when compiling the regular expresions

e.g. the following RegExps cashed (right in the middle of the test)

after.+?_ATTRIBS_.+?ins.+?53 of 57 ≺358.gen010≻.+?mut.+?53 of 57 ≺358.gen010≻.+?ins.+?borgID.+?358.+?emu.+?53 of 57 ≺358.gen010≻

3a100972d7 UI-Lifecycle: send up a dummy notification message to indicate start of content population
right now this will just end up in the log, since not even the
notification display is implemented beyond the GuiNotification-facade.

Anyway, we get some kind of communication now for real, in the actual application
2018-08-04 19:07:21 +02:00
4e77a28112 UI-Lifecycle: use dummy-mechanism to get the new command executed
...because due of #211, we usually don't execute commands yet.
For now there is only the backdoor to prefix the command-ID with "test"

With this change, the TODO message appears now immediately after GUI start!

d58890e2d5 UI-Lifecycle: define a new Proc-Command to implement the population trigger (#1150) 2018-08-04 17:10:04 +02:00
eca06a8309 UI-Lifecycle: build trigger point for content population into InteractionDirector (closes #1151)
In the end, I decided against building a generic service here,
since it pretty much looks like a one-time problem.

Preferrably UI content will be pushed or pulled on demand,
rather than actively coding content from within the UI-Layer
