- Merged `trello` plugin and backend into a single plugin.
- Removed legacy `Response` objects, replaced with data classes and
schemas.
- Fixed the Websocket connection flow to reflect the new authentication
protocol.
Closes: #307
The integration was based on my old fork of the AVS service, which is no
longer functional given the changes the the Amazon's backend side.
A new `avs-device-sdk` is now available, but it seems that it requires
lengthy compilation processes which are RaspberryPi-specific.
Further investigation is needed for a new Alexa plugin - see #334.
It hurts to see it go, as I really believed in this project.
But the website of the project went away in 2020, the Github project
hasn't seen any activity since 2021, and the fork that is supposed to be
used as a replacement for training .pmdl models hasn't been updated
since 2021 - and it only supports Python 2 on Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04.
One day I may dedicate some efforts to bring Snowboy back to life, but
until then it's definitely not in a state where it's usable for a
Platypush integration.
It only existed as a back-compatibility layer with armv6, since there
was no build of the assistant library that worked on Raspberry Pi Zero.
But that API layer has been discontinued by Google and it's no longer
functional, so only the `assistant.google` integration (on x86_64 and
armv7) is currently supported.
Added an `add_dependencies` plugin to the Sphinx build process that
parses the manifest files of the scanned backends and plugins and
automatically generates the documentation for the required dependencies
and triggered events.
This means that those dependencies are no longer required to be listed
in the docstring of the class itself.
Also in this commit:
- Black/LINT for some integrations that hadn't been touched in a long
time.
- Deleted some leftovers from previous refactors (deprecated
`backend.mqtt`, `backend.zwave.mqtt`, `backend.http.request.rss`).
- Deleted deprecated `inotify` backend - replaced by `file.monitor` (see
#289).
I've tried my best to keep it around, but the endpoints seem to be
broken, they no longer have a link to their API v3 documentation, and
the API Explorer that was supposed to be in the dashboard is gone.
It was just too painful to find a combination of versions of gunicorn,
gevent, eventlet, pyuwsgi etc. that could work on all of my systems.
On the other hand, Tornado works out of the box with no headaches.
Also in this commit:
- Updated a bunch of outdated/required integration dependencies.
- Black'd and LINTed a couple of old plugins.
The eventlet API has way too many dependency issues with gunicorn.
Still TODO: Fix or at least mitigate the WSGI workers timeout issue when
they handle websocket connections.
The websocket service is no longer provided by a different service,
controlled by a different thread running on another port.
Instead, it's now exposed directly over Flask routes, using
WSGI+eventlet+simple_websocket.
Also, the SSL context options have been removed from `backend.http`, for
sake of simplicity. If you want to enable SSL, you can serve Platypush
through a reverse proxy like nginx.
Added `waitress` dependency. For performance and security reasons, it's
better to always run the Flask application inside of a uWSGI server.
`waitress` also makes things easier by avoiding to ask the user to
manually provide the external executable arguments, as it was the case
with `uwsgi` and `gunicorn`.
