Specifically, I'm going for a more-vertical layout, cuz I want to bring
PetState over to it, and the weird grid situation wasn't gonna fit the
big pose label radios.
There's still plenty left, but we have 213 we "manually" marked as
"done" (I think I ran a batch job on everything Chips told me was on
the page and already done), and that should help a lot!
Been running into the item "Hanging Plushie Grundo Background Item" not
being modelable, because TNT seem to have left its description blank!
Let's be less picky about what data we take in, but keep the intention
of these validations: to ensure that *we* don't make a mistake and
forget a field when importing items!
This is a basic attempt at the Vandagyre logic, but also things like
"Maraquan items released before the Maraquan X was released"!
I also added a new task, `rails items:update_cached_fields`, which needs
to be run after this change, because it affects the value of
`Item#predicted_fully_modeled?`.
Eyeballing the updated search results for `-is:modeled`, this feels
pretty close? I'm guessing it's not perfect (e.g. maybe a pet type we
got modeled late into its existence, or some items that just never did
fit a certain pet), but feels pretty good.
I also know we had the "modeling hints" override in Impress 2020, which
we aren't reading yet. We should probably take that into account here
too!
We're now caching `predicted_fully_modeled?` on the database record, so
we can query by it in the database!
I'm moving on from the model I did in Impress 2020, of writing really
big fancy single-source-of-truth queries based on the assets themselves.
I see the merit of that in terms of theoretical reliability, but in
practice I think it will be *more* reliable to have one *in-code*
definition of modeling status (which we need anyway for generating the
homepage modeling requests), and just save that in a queryable way.
In our tests, I discovered an unexpected behavior where calling
`item.swf_assets << swf_asset` wasn't updating computed fields
correctly.
This isn't something we actually do in-app, I think the modeling system
happened to trigger the callbacks in a way that still worked fine?
But I think this is a good idea for reliability, since caching is such
a notoriously difficult thing to get right anyway! And it makes our
tests simpler and clearer.
Specifically, `compatible_body_ids` references `swf_assets`, which, I'm
kinda surprised, *doesn't* include the newly-added asset yet when the
`ParentSwfAssetRelationship.after_save` hook runs while calling
`item.swf_assets << swf_asset`. Reloading it fixes this!
This doesn't generally happen, but did the other day when I rolled back
some of the database's SWF asset records but kept the items—and it was
a bit confusing that the homepage marked them as fully modeled!
This is currently crashing the Rainbow Pool when the Anniversary Techo
would appear, because the asset seems to be missing? The SWF doesn't
seem to exist, nor does its manifest.
Oh right, yeah, we like to do things gracefully around here when
there's no corresponding color/species record yet!
Paying more attention to this, I'm thinking like… it could be a cool
idea to, in modeling, *create* the new color/species record, and just
not have all the attributes filled in yet? Especially now that we're
less dependent on attributes like `standard` to be set for correct
functioning.
But for now, we follow the same strategy we do elsewhere in the app: a
pet type can have `color_id` and `species_id` that don't correspond to
a real record, and we cover over that smoothly.
This change was modified a bit after cherry-picking, to no longer
include the broken changes to item modeling in 9eaee4a.
(cherry picked from commit 90407403ba)
Okay so, when we reverted a buncha stuff in e3d196f, it was in response
to a bug where item modeling data was getting deleted. And I was tired,
and just took a big simple hammer to it of reverting all the modeling
refactors.
Here, we reintroduce *some* of them: the biology ones before the item
bug. And tests still pass, and in fact I can un-pending some of them!
I might also try to reapply the change where we extract it all into a
new file, but without the item parts.
```shell
git cherry-pick --no-commit 13ceec8fcc
git cherry-pick --no-commit f81415d327
git cherry-pick --no-commit c03e7446e3
git cherry-pick --no-commit 52ca41dbff
```
Because we ended up with such a big error, and it doesn't have an easy
fix, I'm wrapping up today by reverting the entire set of refactors
we've done lately, so modeling in production can continue while we
improve this code further over time.
I generated this commit by hand-picking the refactor-y commits
recently, running `git revert --no-commit <hash>` in reverse order,
then manually updating `pet_spec.rb` to reflect the state of the code:
passing the most important behavioral tests, but no longer passing one
of the kinds of annoyances I *did* fix in the new code.
```shell
git revert --no-commit 48c1a58df9
git revert --no-commit 42e7eabdd8
git revert --no-commit d82c7f817a
git revert --no-commit 5264947608

```
This bug never made it into production I think, it was a consequence of
some of how I refactored stuff in the recent changes? I think??
But yeah, I refactor how we manage `SwfAsset#body_id`, to be a bit more
explicit about when and how it can change, instead of the weird
callbacks that tbqh have bit us too often…
Ah right, the callbacks in `ParentSwfAssetRelationship` don't get
called when Rails does automatic join-model management stuff. We need
the `Item` to call its `update_cached_fields` callback itself, too!
When fixing this, I found a new bug that arose, in how we infer
`body_id` for assets that fit all pets. Fixing that next!
Hmm, I think I made a mistake on `modeling_snapshot.rb:69`: I'm
assigning the *entire* `item.swf_assets` relation to *just* the assets
for the new model of it, which breaks all the other connections.
First, I'm disabling modeling. Then, I'll restore a backup. Then, I'll
write tests for that case, and fix it up!
If you check this box, it'll keep you in a mode where saving an alt
style redirects you to the *next* one that needs labeling, until
they're all done. Useful for big drops!
Catch missing fields in validation before sending it to the DB, and
skip the Dyeworks stuff if the name is missing.
I ran into this looking into `test/trade_activity_test.rb`, which fails
right now because we try to create a boring placeholder item with
minimal fields, which Dyeworks can't call `name.match()` on!
Now, the test fails with a more helpful error about the item being
invalid. Next, I'll fix that!
Just getting this stuff out of Pet, in part because I want to start
being able to unit test modeling, and that will require stubbing out
what this service returns!
Just a bit more clarity of grouping! I'm also thinking about extracting
modeling APIs into a service file like this too, in which case I think
this would help clarify what it is.
They're not all Nostalgic anymore! Oh, how the times have changed!
This way, new ones will appear as "<New?>", until support staff come in
and label them (with our cool new tools!)
Whoops, I didn't realize this change I made to validation for the alt
style editing form, was goofing up alt style modeling!
The trick is, the validation was happening before the `before_create`
hook. Now I've reformulated these as `before_validation` hooks, so
we're not rejecting new alt styles for having no thumbnail!
Oh huh, I guess most of the new items we had when I rewrote this were
Maraquan, and I didn't test enough on standard species-specific items.
Before this change, partially-modeled items for standard pets would
appear as fully modeled, because the presence of the "nonstandard"
color Orange (because of the Orange Chia) meant that the "standard" key
didn't actually have any unique bodies (it was all `["standard", 47]`).
Here, I take my own comments' advice and move away from the standard
label as part of the logic. Instead, we look first for nonstandard
colors with unique bodies, which we'll call out as modelable; and then
check whether there are any basic bodies *not* covered by those special
colors.
That way, compatibility with the Maraquan Acara (a unique body) means
we'll treat Maraquan as a modelable color; and then we'll ignore the
basic bodies, even though it *does* fit the basic Mynci, because there
aren't any compatible basic bodies that aren't *also* Maraquan bodies.
This also means that compatibility with both the Blue Acara and Orange
Acara does *not* preclude a normal item from needing basic pets for
models: because, while Orange is a slightly nonstandard color in the
case of Chia, it doesn't have its own unique body for this item, so we
ignore it when predicting compatibility with basic colors.
This is because labeling poses with the Support tools *should*
invalidate the `PetState.all_supported_poses` cache! But the previous
cache key would only invalidate when a new pet state is *added*, not
when one is *edited*.
This clocks in a bit bigger than what Impress 2020 does in terms of
binary encoding (with gzip it's at 11K instead of 4K), but I'm okay
with that for the simplicity win.
Gonna try to swap this in for where we're still using Impress 2020 for
the species/color picker in the outfit editor!
Before this change, a fully-modeled item (Dyeworks Burgundy: Gown of
the Night) was displaying as still needing the Chia. This was because
looking for "standard" body IDs like this caught up some of the weird
Chia bodies.
I think there's probably something here where we need to like, relabel
certain colors? But honestly, the better version of this logic would
probably be to lean more into the `basic` label in this logic.
But hey, that's a refactor for another time. I gotta go eat!
Noticing a lot of Maraquan items on the homepage today, and they're
doing that thing of expecting standard body types to be relevant too,
because I think we wrote this logic before the Maraquan Mynci ended up
having the same standard Mynci body? (Maybe? Or maybe I'm being
ahistorical and I just wrote this wrong to begin with lol)
In any case, this is more accurate, and I think I'm also maybe
incidentally noticing that it's running faster, at least in my brief
before/after production testing? (There's *more* queries, like 100! But
many of them are *very* fast lookups, coming in at under 1ms—and also a
lot of them are dupes being served by Rails's request-scoped query
cache.)
