Launch fairings are now fallible and take the place of attach fairings,
but they are only run, as the name implies, at launch time.
This is is a fundamental shift from eager execution of set-up routines,
including the now defunct attach fairings, to lazy execution,
precipitated by the transition to `async`. The previous functionality,
while simple, caused grave issues:
1. A instance of 'Rocket' with async attach fairings requires an async
runtime to be constructed.
2. The instance is accessible in non-async contexts.
3. The async attach fairings have no runtime in which to be run.
Here's an example:
```rust
let rocket = rocket::ignite()
.attach(AttachFairing::from(|rocket| async {
Ok(rocket.manage(load_from_network::<T>().await))
}));
let state = rocket.state::<T>();
```
This had no real meaning previously yet was accepted by running the
attach fairing future in an isolated runtime. In isolation, this causes
no issue, but when attach fairing futures share reactor state with other
futures in Rocket, panics ensue.
The new Rocket application lifecycle is this:
* Build - A Rocket instance is constructed. No fairings are run.
* Ignition - All launch fairings are run.
* Liftoff - If all launch fairings succeeded, the server is started.
New 'liftoff' fairings are run in this third phase.
While offering some utility, the lifetime did not carry its weight, and
in practice offered no further ability to borrow. This greatly
simplifies request guard implementations.
Previously, an `rx` lock was held for the entirety of the check period,
effectively making request handling serial. The implementation also held
a `write` lock to templating context while an expensive user-callback
was called, limiting template-related concurrency during that period.
This was changed so no lock is held during that period and a write-lock
is held only for the duration of the context field write.
Prior to this commit, it was not possible to test Rocket crates in
production mode without setting a global secret key or bypassing secret
key checking - the testing script did the latter. The consequence is
that it became impossible to test secret key related failures because
the tests passed regardless.
This commit undoes this. As a consequence, all tests are now aware of
the difference between debug and release configurations, the latter of
which validates 'secret_key' by default. New 'Client::debug()' and
'Client::debug_with()' simplify creating an instance of 'Client' with
configuration in debug mode to avoid undesired test failures.
The summary of changes in this commit are:
* Config 'secret_key' success and failure are now tested.
* 'secret_key' validation was moved to pre-launch from 'Config:from()'.
* 'Config::from()' only extracts the config.
* Added 'Config::try_from()' for non-panicking extraction.
* 'Config' now knows the profile it was extracted from.
* The 'Config' provider sets a profile of 'Config.profile'.
* 'Rocket', 'Client', 'Fairings', implement 'Debug'.
* 'fairing::Info' implements 'Copy', 'Clone'.
* 'Fairings' keeps track of, logs attach fairings.
* 'Rocket::reconfigure()' was added to allow modifying a config.
Internally, the testing script was refactored to properly test the
codebase with the new changes. In particular, it no longer sets a rustc
'cfg' to avoid secret-key checking.
Resolves#1543.
Fixes#1564.
This changes core routing so that '<path..>' in a route URI matches zero
or more segments. Previously, '<path..>' matched _1_ or more.
* Routes '$a' and '$b/<p..>' collide if $a and $b previously collided.
* For example, '/' now collides with '/<p..>'.
* Request '$a' matches route '$b/<p..>' if $a previously matched $b.
* For example, request '/' matches route '/<p..>'.
Resolves#985.
The iterator may be empty. This changes the return type of
'Request::segments()' from 'Option<Segments>' to simply 'Segments'.
Internally also adds a 'Client::debug()' for easier request testing.
* Add a `msg!()` macro to easily change a field validation message.
* Allow a field to refer to itself via `self.field`.
* Improve the various field validation traits.
So. Many. Changes.
This is an insane commit: simultaneously one of the best (because of all
the wonderful improvements!) and one of the worst (because it is just
massive) in the project's history.
Routing:
* All UTF-8 characters are accepted everywhere in route paths. (#998)
* `path` is now `uri` in `route` attribute: `#[route(GET, path = "..")]`
becomes `#[route(GET, uri = "..")]`.
Forms Revamp
* All form related types now reside in a new `form` module.
* Multipart forms are supported. (resolves#106)
* Collections are supported in forms and queries. (resolves#205)
* Nested structures in forms and queries are supported. (resolves#313)
* Form fields can be ad-hoc validated with `#[field(validate = expr)]`.
* `FromFormValue` is now `FromFormField`, blanket implements `FromForm`.
* Form field values are always percent-decoded apriori.
Temporary Files
* A new `TempFile` data and form guard allows streaming data directly to a
file which can then be persisted.
* A new `temp_dir` config parameter specifies where to store `TempFile`.
* The limits `file` and `file/$ext`, where `$ext` is the file extension,
determines the data limit for a `TempFile`.
Capped
* A new `Capped` type is used to indicate when data has been truncated due to
incoming data limits. It allows checking whether data is complete or
truncated.
* `DataStream` methods return `Capped` types.
* `DataStream` API has been revamped to account for `Capped` types.
* Several `Capped<T>` types implement `FromData`, `FromForm`.
* HTTP 413 (Payload Too Large) errors are now returned when data limits are
exceeded. (resolves#972)
Hierarchical Limits
* Data limits are now hierarchical, delimited with `/`. A limit of `a/b/c`
falls back to `a/b` then `a`.
Core
* `&RawStr` no longer implements `FromParam`.
* `&str` implements `FromParam`, `FromData`, `FromForm`.
* `FromTransformedData` was removed.
* `FromData` gained a lifetime for use with request-local data.
* The default error HTML is more compact.
* `&Config` is a request guard.
* The `DataStream` interface was entirely revamped.
* `State` is only exported via `rocket::State`.
* A `request::local_cache!()` macro was added for storing values in
request-local cache without consideration for type uniqueness by using a
locally generated anonymous type.
* `Request::get_param()` is now `Request::param()`.
* `Request::get_segments()` is now `Request::segments()`, takes a range.
* `Request::get_query_value()` is now `Request::query_value()`, can parse any
`FromForm` including sequences.
* `std::io::Error` implements `Responder` like `Debug<std::io::Error>`.
* `(Status, R)` where `R: Responder` implements `Responder` by overriding the
`Status` of `R`.
* The name of a route is printed first during route matching.
* `FlashMessage` now only has one lifetime generic.
HTTP
* `RawStr` implements `serde::{Serialize, Deserialize}`.
* `RawStr` implements _many_ more methods, in particular, those related to the
`Pattern` API.
* `RawStr::from_str()` is now `RawStr::new()`.
* `RawStr::url_decode()` and `RawStr::url_decode_lossy()` only allocate as
necessary, return `Cow`.
* `Status` implements `Default` with `Status::Ok`.
* `Status` implements `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `Hash`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`.
* Authority and origin part of `Absolute` can be modified with new
`Absolute::{with,set}_authority()`, `Absolute::{with,set}_origin()` methods.
* `Origin::segments()` was removed in favor of methods split into query and
path parts and into raw and decoded versions.
* The `Segments` iterator is smarter, returns decoded `&str` items.
* `Segments::into_path_buf()` is now `Segments::to_path_buf()`.
* A new `QuerySegments` is the analogous query segment iterator.
* Once set, `expires` on private cookies is not overwritten. (resolves#1506)
* `Origin::path()` and `Origin::query()` return `&RawStr`, not `&str`.
Codegen
* Preserve more spans in `uri!` macro.
* Preserve spans `FromForm` field types.
* All dynamic parameters in a query string must typecheck as `FromForm`.
* `FromFormValue` derive removed; `FromFormField` added.
* The `form` `FromForm` and `FromFormField` field attribute is now named
`field`. `#[form(field = ..)]` is now `#[field(name = ..)]`.
Contrib
* `Json` implements `FromForm`.
* `MsgPack` implements `FromForm`.
* The `json!` macro is exported as `rocket_contrib::json::json!`.
* Added clarifying docs to `StaticFiles`.
Examples
* `form_validation` and `form_kitchen_sink` removed in favor of `forms`.
* The `hello_world` example uses unicode in paths.
* The `json` example only allocates as necessary.
Internal
* Codegen uses new `exports` module with the following conventions:
- Locals starts with `__` and are lowercased.
- Rocket modules start with `_` and are lowercased.
- `std` types start with `_` and are titlecased.
- Rocket types are titlecased.
* A `header` module was added to `http`, contains header types.
* `SAFETY` is used as doc-string keyword for `unsafe` related comments.
* The `Uri` parser no longer recognizes Rocket route URIs.
This prevents the glob from returning paths that don't include the root
template dir due to resolution of relative paths like `./foo`,
preventing #1541 from reoccurring. Furthermore, this prevents
misconfigured, non-existent template directories from silently passing
through, instead causing an error at init-time.
This commit also improves config pretty-printing and warning messages.
It also fixes an issue that resulted in config value deprecation
warnings not being emitted. The 'workers' value is now a 'usize', not a
'u16'; contrib pool sizes now default to 'workers * 2'.
Closes#1470.
This commit reverts most of dea940c7 and d89c7024. The "fix" is to run
attach fairings on a new thread. If a runtime is already running, it is
used. Otherwise, the future is executed in a single-threaded executor.
This commit completely overhauls Rocket's configuration systems, basing
it on the new Figment library. It includes many breaking changes
pertaining to configuration. They are:
* "Environments" are replaced by "profiles".
* 'ROCKET_PROFILE' takes the place of 'ROCKET_ENV'.
* Profile names are now arbitrary, but 'debug' and 'release' are given
special treatment as default profiles for the debug and release
compilation profiles.
* A 'default' profile now sits along-side the meta 'global' profile.
* The concept of "extras" is no longer present; users can extract any
values they want from the configured 'Figment'.
* The 'Poolable' trait takes an '&Config'.
* The 'secrets' feature is disabled by default.
* It is a hard error if 'secrets' is enabled under the 'release'
profile and no 'secret_key' is configured.
* 'ConfigBuilder' no longer exists: all fields of 'Config' are public
with public constructors for each type.
* 'keep_alive' is disabled with '0', not 'false' or 'off'.
* Inlined error variants into the 'Error' structure.
* 'LoggingLevel' is now 'LogLevel'.
* Limits can now be specified in SI units: "1 MiB".
The summary of other changes are:
* The default config file can be configured with 'ROCKET_CONFIG'.
* HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 keep-alive configuration is restored.
* 'ctrlc' is now a recognized config option.
* 'serde' is now a core dependency.
* TLS misconfiguration errors are improved.
* Several example use '_' as the return type of '#[launch]' fns.
* 'AdHoc::config()' was added for simple config extraction.
* Added more documentation for using 'Limits'.
* Launch information is no longer treated specially.
* The configuration guide was rewritten.
Resolves#852.
Resolves#209.
Closes#1404.
Closes#652.
In brief, this commit:
* Updates to the latest upstream 'cookie', fixing a memory leak.
* Make changes to 'CookieJar' observable only through 'pending()'.
* Deprecates 'Client::new()' in favor of 'Client::tracked()'.
* Makes 'dispatch()' on tracked 'Client's synchronize on cookies.
* Makes 'Client::untracked()' actually untracked.
This commit updates to the latest 'cookie' which removes support for
'Sync' cookie jars. Instead of relying on 'cookie', this commit
implements an op-log based 'CookieJar' which internally keeps track of
changes. The API is such that changes are only observable through
specialized '_pending()' methods.
The connection guard type generated by `#[database]` no longer
implements `Deref` and `DerefMut`. Instead, it provides an `async fn
run()` that gives access to the underlying connection on a closure run
through `spawn_blocking()`.
Additionally moves most of the implementation of `#[database]` out
of generated code and into library code for better type-checking.
This commits makes the following high-level changes:
* 'ShutdownHandle' is renamed to 'Shutdown'.
* 'Rocket::shutdown_handle()' is renamed to 'Rocket::shutdown()'.
* '#[launch]` is preferred to '#[rocket::launch]'.
* Various docs phrasings are improved.
* Fixed various broken links in docs.
This commits rearranges top-level exports as follows:
* 'shutdown' module is no longer exported.
* 'Shutdown' is exported from the crate root.
* 'Outcome' is not longer exported from the root.
* 'Handler', 'ErrorHandler' are no longer exported from the root.
