- Splinter/selenium have implicit and explicit waiting time. Implicit wait time will make every negative lookup wait for about 3 seconds before it actually fails. Because we ensure missing elements in quite a few places, this introduces many 3 seconds wait periods during testing. Remove it instead rely on explicit waiting whenever needed. - Explicit wait time is only used during explicitly requests waiting conditions. In a loop the API waits for a maximum of timeout period until a given condition is satisfied. Each time the condition is checked, it goes into sleep for explicit wait period amount of time. This is typically a second or so. Since we are impatient, make it 0.1 instead. - Also make sure that whenever a page is visit()ed, we automatically wait until the page is fully loaded by overriding the splinter wait condition. Otherwise, we will need to introduce waiting code in a lot of places. - Using document.readyState == complete is a better check to ensure that a page is fully loaded. If we proceed with the page 'loading' or 'interactive' state, we will have to change a lot of code to make it wait. - Handle Apache restarts when waiting for page load. The error page apparently is never reaches document.readyState == 'complete'. So, if an error page is encountered, always reload. - While waiting for installation, ensure that we atomically check that page has loaded fully and the installation progress is not being shown. Otherwise, there would be race condition due to installation page refreshing itself. Signed-off-by: Sunil Mohan Adapa <sunil@medhas.org> Reviewed-by: James Valleroy <jvalleroy@mailbox.org>
FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
Getting Started
To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine. Then run:
$ sudo apt install freedombox
Full instructions are available on FreedomBox Manual's QuickStart page.
For instructions on running the service on a local machine from source code, see INSTALL.md. For instructions on setting up for development purposes, see HACKING.md.
