This fixes issue #417 where autoupdate installer files were not deleted
on macOS, leading to accumulation of old installers.
Key changes:
- Store update files in application-specific directory
- Clear update files directory on every app launch
Other supporting changes:
- Refactor file system operations to be more testable and reusable
- Improve separation of concerns in directory management
- Enhance dependency injection for auto-update logic
- Fix async completion to support `await` operations
- Add additional logging and revise some log messages during updates
This commit improves the management of script execution process by
enhancing the way terminal commands are handled, paving the way for
easier future modifications and providing clearer feedback to users when
scripts are cancelled.
Previously, the UI displayed a generic error message which could lead to
confusion if the user intentionally cancelled the script execution. Now,
a specific error dialog will appear, improving the user experience by
accurately reflecting the action taken by the user.
This change affects code execution on Linux where closing GNOME terminal
returns exit code `137` which is then treated by script cancellation by
privacy.sexy to show the accurate error dialog. It does not affect macOS
and Windows as curret commands result in success (`0`) exit code on
cancellation.
Additionally, this update encapsulates OS-specific logic into dedicated
classes, promoting better separation of concerns and increasing the
modularity of the codebase. This makes it simpler to maintain and extend
the application.
Key changes:
- Display a specific error message for script cancellations.
- Refactor command execution into dedicated classes.
- Improve file permission setting flexibility and avoid setting file
permissions on Windows as it's not required to execute files.
- Introduce more granular error types for script execution.
- Increase logging for shell commands to aid in debugging.
- Expand test coverage to ensure reliability.
- Fix error dialogs not showing the error messages due to incorrect
propagation of errors.
Other supported changes:
- Update `SECURITY.md` with details on script readback and verification.
- Fix a typo in `IpcRegistration.spec.ts`.
- Document antivirus scans in `desktop-vs-web-features.md`.
This commit upgrades TypeScript to the latest version 5.3 and introduces
`verbatimModuleSyntax` in line with the official Vue guide
recommendatinos (vuejs/docs#2592).
By enforcing `import type` for type-only imports, this commit improves
code clarity and supports tooling optimization, ensuring imports are
only bundled when necessary for runtime.
Changes:
- Bump TypeScript to 5.3.3 across the project.
- Adjust import statements to utilize `import type` where applicable,
promoting cleaner and more efficient code.
This commit addresses issues #264 and #304, where users were not
receiving error messages when script execution failed due to
antivirus intervention, particularly with Microsoft Defender.
Now, desktop app users will see a detailed error message with
guidance on next steps if script saving or execution fails due
to antivirus removal.
Key changes:
- Implement a check to detect failure in file writing,
including reading the written file back. This method effectively
detects antivirus interventions, as the read operation triggers
an antivirus scan, leading to file deletion by the antivirus.
- Introduce a specific error message for scenarios where an
antivirus intervention is detected.
This commit fixes an issue seen on certain Windows environments (Windows
10 22H2 and 11 23H2 Pro Azure VMs) where scripts were being deleted
during execution due to temporary directory usage. To resolve this,
scripts are now stored in a persistent directory, enhancing reliability
for long-running scripts and improving auditability along with
troubleshooting.
Key changes:
- Move script execution logic to the `main` process from `preloader` to
utilize Electron's `app.getPath`.
- Improve runtime environment detection for non-browser environments to
allow its usage in Electron main process.
- Introduce a secure module to expose IPC channels from the main process
to the renderer via the preloader process.
Supporting refactorings include:
- Simplify `CodeRunner` interface by removing the `tempScriptFolderName`
parameter.
- Rename `NodeSystemOperations` to `NodeElectronSystemOperations` as it
now wraps electron APIs too, and convert it to class for simplicity.
- Rename `TemporaryFileCodeRunner` to `ScriptFileCodeRunner` to reflect
its new functinoality.
- Rename `SystemOperations` folder to `System` for simplicity.
- Rename `HostRuntimeEnvironment` to `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` for
clarity.
- Refactor main Electron process configuration to align with latest
Electron documentation/recommendations.
- Refactor unit tests `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` to simplify singleton
workaround.
- Use alias imports like `electron/main` and `electron/common` for
better clarity.
