Web UI for your scripts with execution management

script-server's Issues

[bug] when script uses svn, it may ask for a password

Also, it seems that password request output from svn is terminal-dependent, i.e. it's not printed in non-terminal mode.

Show that script has finished faster

There should be less than 0.1s delay after the script has finished and UI updates correspondingly (currently it means that ExecuteButton should be unlocked, and StopButton should be locked)

[bug] combobox parameters field is shifted in Firefox

The combobox field in parameters panel is shifted up above other fields baseline.

Firefox ESR (45.4.0) on debian 8

[feature] Remove spaces from script names in URL

Currently script names used as a hashes in the URL. However linking such pages to other people looks bad: either the link will be cut at the first space or spaces will be urlencoded (decreasing readability). So all spaces should be replaced with some other symbol (e.g. underscore).

Backward compatibility should be supported, i.e. old links should still work after this feature.

Python2 script with print didn't put information to output.

Not full log is printed in case of large outout

Run simple script (from test pack) for 20000 occurrences of "long long long" text.
As a result, some lines won't be printed.

Add possibility to stop the script

Firefox: hash page opening is not working

If you try to open a page with hash (e.g. .../index.html#my_script) it doesn't show the script info

[feature] create configs folder automatically

Back button is not working

When you press back button in browser, the URL changes, but the page is not updated

(at least in Chrome)

[feature] Add possibility to specify default value for a field

[feature] Add selectable field type

The value should be selected from ComboBox, script should provide all allowed values

Improve vertical margin between parameters

See example of bad layout:

[feature] Add possibility to specify environment variables as values in script configs

This should be available at least for default values.

[feature] Add possiblity to run via SSL

Currently script server is working via plain HTTP only. There should be possilibility to turn on HTTPS.

Proposal:

1. Add conf folder
2. Read web.json configuration from conf folder
3. If ssl parameter exists there, read key and cert paths from it
4. Start http server with ssl config, on the port 5443
5. Add port parameter to web.conf file, which will allow to override default port
6. Move current script configurations locations to conf/runners

Additionally: test on windows

[feature] Add possibility to run script from location

Currently scripts are run from the folder of the server. It would be nice to have a possibility to specify runFolder for the script (since some scripts can use relative paths).

[feature] Add possibility to make fields required

Excessive logging makes browser to hang

[bug] if script show fails the previous screen is not cleared

If your select another script, the previous script info should be cleared, even if the opening of the new one failed.
It would be even better to show, that loading script info failed.

[feature] Change IP to hostname in process logs

Currently, for each script run, log file is created, and it contains caller IP in the name.
However hostname can provide more information at a glance, so if hostname can be acquired, it should be used for filename.
Also, main log file should log both caller IP and hostname.

[bug] sometimes script opening fails

How to reproduce:
open a config with a lot of parameters and update the page untill error occurs

Web console exception:
Uncaught TypeError: this.validate is not a function

[feature] improve process log with better information

PID in filename makes not much sense, since it won't help to find the proper file at all. However the running host for example or time will help.

It should be understood how this log file can be improve and implemented

Add support for scripts output colors (for Linux)

Scripts can produce output with colouring mode (e.g. grep --color ..). Script server should show such output as colored as well.
Currently such output is shown like:
�[01;31m�[KI'm called�[m�[K
So we need to decode the color and create corresponding coloring at the web GUI for such blocks.
Both font and background can be colored.

For testing purposes we can extend Write to file script, with showing all occurences (including old ones) of the added text with different color. Like changing the last line of the script to:
cat ~/simple.txt | grep --color=always -E "$text|$"
And possible show some other information with different background.

Logging of execution log

Currently execution log is sent only to web page and not logged anywhere.
It should be logged somewhere, so it will be possible to analyze what was happening.

Hide all script elements on index.html opening

If a page without hash is opened, it shouldn't show "Execute" button

[feature] Add int field type

With support of validation and min/max values

make index.html default webpage

If you connect to the server without specifying a page (http://my-host:5000/), then nothing is loaded. index.html should be loaded in this case

[bug] server loading fails if one of the configs is invalid

If one config is invalid, then only this script shouldn't work (and probably should be not shown)

[feature] Make "requires_terminal" config to be read as boolean

Currently this parameter is specified (and read) as a string, i.e. it should be specified like this:
"requires_terminal": "false",

It should be changed to be read as a boolean (without quotes)

[feature] Add LDAP authorization support

LDAP authorization should be configurable using web.json file.
For this new config section should be added, which should look like:
{
...
"authorization": {
"type": "LDAP",
"config": {
//some LDAP based config parameters
}
}
}

Move external resources to stored files

Currently external resources are loaded each time. It would be better to make them static files

[bug] required integer field shows incorrect message on wrong input

If you put some wrong value (e.g. e1) in int field, it will show message "required", however it should show message "integer expected"

[bug] logs/processes folder wasn't created automatically

[feature] allow omitting of parameter's "param"

If you have a script, which is reading input values by order (e.g. in bash: var1=$1), rather than by parameters (e.g. "script.sh -p val"), it's useful just to omit "param" in the parameter configuration.

Execute button should be reenabled if script is switched

1. Start long-running script X
2. Switch to another script
   Result: execute button is disabled

Expected - script should be stopped when switching, and button should be reenabled

[feature] Make terminal mode default

Since it's hard to predict, whether used commands in the script behave differently, being invoked in terminal, it should be better to launch all the scripts in terminal mode by default.

See some more info in my comment in #2 (comment)

Firefox: js error on xhttp response parsing cause execute button to hang

make errournous js code for execute button (e.g. when we receive a response, just throw an exception). It causes execute button to hang (which is ok in case of unexpected error), but if you reload the page (F5) the button is not working

Fix Windows incompatibility issues

Currently script server is not running on windows because of different issues (paths, modules, working with processes, etc.). This should be fixed

bash 'read -p "xxx"' doesn't show the message in output

Order scripts in the GUI alphabetically

[feature] Add constant parameters

Such parameters should not be visible on UI, but should be sent to the script

[feature] support filling field values from some other script

E.g. we have a script for deleting a file in temp folder, it would be nice to send a user a list of the files in this folder, so the required one could be selected.

[bug] Launching scripts sometimes causes exception and hanging request on GUI

Subprocess is not killed, if HTTP request aborts

Remove fcntl dependency on windows

In #28 was fixed blocking os.read, but the fix depends on the fcntl module, which is available only for linux.
This module shouldn't be used for windows

Add favicon

Add autoscroll on logs change

[bug] running scripts can make server not terminable

If you run write_file script (from testing suite) and try to terminate the server (using ctrl+C) it won't stop and could only be killed.

I suspect, that not all child processes are terminated properly

Make launcher script executable

Now in order to launch the server, user has to use
python3 launcher.py command
There should be a way just to launch it

[feature] Add possibility to download result files of the script

Some scripts can create file(s) as a result of execution. There should be a possibility to download these files.
