I've changed tasksubmitter to accept a "thing" and "action" rather than a single URL. This seems more in keeping with
propertyControl, and eliminates the need for loads of
computed properties.
I've also deleted (rather than just commenting out) chunks of the web app that are no longer in use. These may be
reinstated in the future - but we can get them from git
history. It's less confusing not to have vestigial
code in the repo.
This builds OK but is not, as yet, tested with hardware.
checkExistingTasks was looking up the task's `self` link by
checking for `rel=self`, which failed. I have corrected this
to `rel="self"` - `self` would have evaluated to `undefined`.
I've tidied up the UI a bit here:
* The modal box stays open and must be explicitly closed.
Pretty much everywhere we want to use this, it would be nice
to see the final confirmation it's worked - so I have removed
the line that closes it after the task completes.
* The progress bar no longer animates after the task has
finished (logic previously didn't consider that state as the
bar wasn't visible except while it was running).
* A helpful message is printed when the task completes or is
cancelled.
Longer-running tasks would benefit hugely from showing the
operator a progress indicator. This branch will add a basic
log display allowing messages to be shown to the user.
This branch may also add an abort button to the above dialog.
