A few key changes:
* Don't reload the whole pet 8 times!! Sooo many bad things
happen, including redundant lookups of everything else and
too many item saves and reindexes. Instead, fetch the item
data, apply it to the items, and then save the items (once
each!)
* Updated my branch of globalize3 to be even better at avoiding
redundant queries when saving. Woo.
* Last realization: wrapping all the item saves in a single
transaction works wonders. COMMIT seems to have high overhead,
so doing only one took it from 50ms * 10 or whatever to 60ms.
Good stuff.
We were joining to the translations table to sort records
alphabetically, but then it sorted by *all* of the translations in
some strange way. Now use with_translations to restrict the join
to the current locale.
In particular, pet#load was handling locale-switching itself, but wasn't
switching back to original locale on error. We could've used a rescue
block, but, when I18n.with_locale is so cool, may as well use it fully.
We originally had a regression on name-matching, where, among
other issues, `straw hat` returned items containing both "straw"
and "hat", which isn't really helpful behavior since we're sorting
alphabetically. Now, `straw hat` behaves as expected.
Additionally, "phrases like these" behave as expected, too.
Confirmed features:
* Output (retrieval, sorting, etc.)
* Name (positive and negative, but new behavior)
* Flags (positive and negative)
Planned features:
* users:owns, user:wants
Known issues:
* Sets are broken
* Don't render properly
* Shouldn't actually be done as joined sets, anyway, since
we actually want (set1_zone1 OR set1_zone2) AND
(set2_zone1 OR set2_zone2), which will require breaking
it into multiple terms queries.
* Name has regressed: ignores phrases, doesn't require *all*
words. While we're breaking sets into multiple queries,
maybe we'll do something similar for name. In fact, we
really kinda have to if we're gonna keep sorting by name,
since "straw hat" returns all hats. Eww.
For example, the Meerca Maid Tray is a foreground item, so the SWF is marked
as compatible with all body types, but the item itself is clearly marked as
Meercas-only. items#show reflected this properly, but the swf_assets#index
call that the wardrobe uses ignored item.species_support_ids.
So, /bodies/:body_id/swf_assets.json?item_ids[]=... was deprecated in favor
of /pet_types/:pet_type_id/items/swf_assets.json?item_ids=[]..., which is
much like the former route but, before loading assets, also loads the pet
type and items, then filters the items by compatibility, then only loads
assets for the compatible items.
Use the ImageMagick flatten command to generate the output all at
once instead of compositing each layer individually, and download
the layers in parallel. On my box, saving roopal27 five times took
a total of 30 seconds before, whereas now it takes 7 seconds. I
expect it to be even better on the production box, where latency
is even lower.
Sharing pane works, everything is great for guests. Logged in
users are on the way, since right now Share Outfit re-saves
anonymously rather than showing sharing data for the existing
outfit.
For example, the site was throwing a 500 error when loading pets
belonging to frozen users. Instead, we'll now rescue that
Neopets::User::AccountDisabledError and ignore it, since it's not
*vital* that we load gender/mood data from this pet; we can still
proceed to load its customization data without it.
So it turns out this was just one of those things I forgot to fix
the big database restructure came along: we were comparing
swf_asset.remote_id against parents_swf_assets.swf_asset_id, which
are two different identifiers entirely. Now using swf_asset.id,
so fixed :)
At first I thought this was an error in the data migration process when moving SWF assets
to having their own unique IDs, but then realized that the query for a pet state's SWFs
didn't include the (parent_type = 'Item') condition. Oops. Turns out, I only connected the
items to parent_swf_asset_relationships polymorphically. Pet states were still doing it the
hackish way. Set the pet states to use the lovely polymorphic relationship and we're good
to go.
After changing the database structure, we lost the feature where, once we discover
new assets for an item for a given body ID, we disconnect previously connected
assets. This commit reinstates that feature.
Lots of scary bugs were being caused by the fact that the possibly-duplicate Neopets ID
was being treated as an SWF's real primary key, meaning that a save meant for object swf
number 123 could be saved to biology swf number 123. Which is awful.
This update gives SWFs their own unique internal ID numbers. All external lookups still use
the remote ID and the type, meaning that the client side remains totally unchanged (phew).
However, all database relationships with SWFs use the new ID numbers, making everything
cleaner. Yay.
There are probably a few places where it would be appropriate to optimize certain lookups
that still depend on remote ID and type. Whatever. Today's goal was to remove crazy
glitches that have been floating around like mad. And I think that goal has been met.
