Print out the image hash for easier debugging (can look up the custom data ourselves to check it), and also fix a bug with retries not carrying `contextString` through, oops!
It seems to be working!! How exciting!! I'm just letting it run on stuff now :3
One important issue is that Classic DTI doesn't show images for items modeled this way, because we don't download the SWFs for it. But I wanna update it to stop using AWS anyway and do the same stuff 2020 does, I think we can do that pretty sneakily!
I'm looking into what it would take to update the archive on a regular basis. The commands right now *are* pretty good at avoiding duplicate work… but the S3 upload still seems like it's taking very long even to just validate what's in the archive already. We might have to build our own little cache rather than using `aws s3 sync`, if we want faster incremental updates?
Here, I make a few quality-of-life changes to add a `archive:create` command that runs everything in a straight line. That way, I can let it run and see how much wall-time it takes, to be able to decide whether speeding it up feels necessary. (vs whether it's a few-hours task I can just set a reminder to manually run every week or something)
I'm working on account creation, and got tripped up by transactions not working correctly, because MyISAM tables simply don't support them! Took too long to debug this lol :p
Anyway, I made the change in the prod db, and then re-downloaded the schema files to here.
Specifically, we rename the dev database to `openneo_impress` for consistency with the main app, and create a second schema file for `openneo_id`, so we can do local account creation.
Hey this is an exciting development! A list of URLs, that we want to clone onto our hard drive, turns out to be something `wget` is already very good at!
Originally I used `wget`'s `--input-file` option to process the `urls-cache.txt` file, but then I learned how to parallelize it from this StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11850469/107415. (Following the guidance in the comments, I removed `-n 1`, to avoid the overhead of extra processes and allow `wget` instances to keep using shared connections over time. Idk why it was in there, maybe the author didn't know `wget` accepts multiple args?)
Anyway yeah, it's working great, except for the weird images.neopets.com downtime! 😅 Specifically I'm noticing that all the item thumbnail images came back really fast, but the customization images are taking for-EV-er. I wonder if that's just caching properties, or if there's a different backing server for it and it's responding much more slowly? Who's to say!
In any case, I'm keeping the timeout in this script pretty low (10 seconds), and just letting failures fail. We can try re-running it again sometime when the downtime is resolved or the cache is warmed up.
Especially in our item thumbnails, there's a lot of messiness about what the URL protocol is. There are also some SWF assets whose "URLs" are just saved as paths.
In this change, we start processing all our outputted URLs through a `sanitizeUrl` function, which tries to massage it into an `https://images.neopets.com` URL, and warns if it cannot.
This also warns on some intentionally-different URLs, like our April Fools prank item lol
Anyway, I love functions like this, because the warnings always help me discover the data problems! I wasn't aware of the path-only SWF URLs, for example, until this script started warning about the URL parse errors!
Here, we read URLs out from the swf_assets table, including SWFs, manfests, and everything referenced by the manifests.
There are a few data-polishing tricks we needed to do to get this to work! Most notably, newer manfests reference themselves, but older ones don't; so we try to infer the manifest URL from the other URLs. (Our database caches the manifest content, but not the manifest URL it came from.)
Just working on making an images.neopets.com mirror, just in case! To start, I'm extracting all the URLs we need to back up; and then I'll make a separate script whose job is to mirror all of the URLs in the list.
Hey finally! I got in the mood and did it, after… a year? idk lol
The button should only appear for outfits that are already saved, that are owned by you. And the server enforces it!
I also added a new util function to give actually useful error messages when the GraphQL server throws an error. Might be wise to use this in more places where we're currently just using `error.message`!
Right, ok, `db.close()` needs to be `db.end()` now.
This probably didn't break the user-syncing cron job though, because that doesn't automatically update I think? so it should still be comfortably running older version of the code that should still work just fine
Well, instrumentation seems to be working fine again! The bug we ran into during commit e5081dab7e is gone. Cool!
I want to be able to see what's making the new box slow. My hypothesis was (and it seems to be right) that communication with the database on the Classic DTI server is slow.
But now that they're on the same Linode account and region, I think I can set up a private VLAN to make them muuuch faster. We'll try it out!
Oh right, we have another prompt we need to not prompt for, lol :p
Here, I just assume that there's one database connection on the Auth0 account. If that's not true, the script will error—not because this is a fundamentally unresolvable problem, but because I don't want to write code for configuring a situation that doesn't exist yet :p
Huh, oops, there are a _few_ reasons the user sync cron job hasn't been running correctly.
I fixed some of the config in prod, but then discovered one more issue: the script prompts for an admin database password, so of _course_ it can't auto-run, lol.
Instead, I've now created a `impress2020-util` account, with just a few permissions (but specifically the `openneo_id.users` permission that I _don't_ give the app!), and added the username and password to the secret .env file, both locally and in prod. (In this case, prod means the Linode VPS, not Vercel, because that's where our cron runs.)
Hm, okay, so the documented way to not instrument anything doesn't actually stop them from patching Module._load. But this undocumented option sure does! So, woo, let's try it! lol
Huh, well, I can't figure out what in our production env stopped working with Honeycomb's automatic instrumentation… so, oh well! Let's try disabling it for now and see if it works.
This means our Honeycomb logs will no longer include _super helpful_ visualizations of how HTTP requests and MySQL queries create a request dependency waterfall… but I haven't opened Honeycomb in a while, and this bug is blocking all of prod, so if this fixes the site then I'm okay with that as a stopgap!
Btw the error message was:
```
Unhandled rejection: TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined at exports.instrumentLoad (/var/task/node_modules/honeycomb-beeline/lib/instrumentation.js:80:14) at Function._load (/var/task/node_modules/honeycomb-beeline/lib/instrumentation.js:164:16) at ModuleWrap.<anonymous> (internal/modules/esm/translators.js:199:29) at ModuleJob.run (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:169:25) at Loader.import (internal/modules/esm/loader.js:177:24)
```
Oh also, this is the first time eslint has looked at scripts/build-cached-data.js I guess, so I fixed some lint errors in there.
Hope it actually work-works lol
Did some refactors in useOutfitState to support the new reset action we do after auto-saving, in case the server tweaked things like the name.
I wanted the ability to clear out closet list text for Support users, and figured I should just build the UI for end users too, and grant Support users the same access!
I narrowed down the problem to the fact that we were joining in pet types against assets, and *then* running GROUP and DISTINCT and everything. Assets x compatible species/color pairs is a LOT of rows!
Here, we instead get all the relevant body IDs first, and *then* match them against pet types—which we fetch in one batch to match body to canonical species/color.
I'm also trashing the weird caching mechanism we did here, because in practice it doesn't seem reliable anyway. If anything, I'd want to look at stronger CDN caching. (I made a small improvement to the caching annotation, but ultimately it still doesn't matter, because this query uses logged-in stuff and always comes out max-age=0 anyway.)
I already had a script for this lying around, and adapted it a tiny bit to the repository!
Part of me thought about building it in as a support tool. I might've if:
- this CLI didn't already exist
- we already had tighter permissioning, this is pretty high stakes!!
I'm not getting cron success _or_ cron failure emails for running this script on our Linode box. I was getting failures back when I had the command wrong, though.
My hypothesis is that the script output is too long to email, because of some limit somewhere along the way. I'll update the cron job to use `--skip-unchanged`, in hopes that it helps me get the emails! (I'm not suuure it's running, is the thing... though hey, here's a way to check: as of now, 512,624 of 521,896 assets are converted. If that changes eventually without a manual script run, then the cron is working!)
I want to start running this on a regular cron, and making the script faster (stop sending redundant queries) and clearer (# actually updated) is super useful for that!
Originally, this was sorta a cache warmup script: we wanted to fill in manifests that we hadn't checked for yet.
But now, I want to _also_ check previous cache misses, that we stored in the db as an empty string. Maybe it's been converted now!
We download the schema from prod, and omit real data, but I didn't notice that we were still pulling the metadata of the auto increment counter for IDs! Now, we scrub that from the schema file we save.
Boom, now we can also run a clean MySQL test db on each test that wants it :)
the test I wrote as a sample is currently marked `it.skip` because it's not passing yet!
