Made utils.variable_from_module more generic (it can now load pretty much any form of module it's given and also supports searching and returning multiple variables).
Removed the variable-load functionality from utils.load_module; this is now purely a loader - use variable_from_module instead.
I found out that one couldn't import from src.commands.default due to the __init__ file being restrictive for the sake of the ev API. Removed that and instead imported the default commands into ev.py with the help of utils.variable_from_module instead. Some more fixes in ev followed on this.
This change meant several changes to the lock and permission functionality, since it becomes important if permissions are assigned on the Player or on their Character (lock functions pperm() and pid() etc check on Player rather than Character). This has the boon of allowing Admins to switch and play/test the game as a "Low access" character as they like.
Plenty of bug fixes and adjustments. Migrations should make sure to move over all data properly.
- This implements an updated, clearer and more robust access system. The policy is now to lock that which is not explicitly left open.
- Permission strings -> Lock strings. Separating permissions and locks makes more sense security-wise
- No more permissiongroup table; permissions instead use a simple tuple PERMISSIONS_HIERARCHY to define an access hierarchy
- Cleaner lock-definition syntax, all based on function calls.
- New objects/players/channels get a default security policy during creation (set through typeclass)
As part of rebuilding and testing the new lock/permission system I got into testing and debugging several other systems, fixing some
outstanding issues:
- @reload now fully updates the database asynchronously. No need to reboot server when changing cmdsets
- Dozens of new test suites added for about 30 commands so far
- Help for channels made more clever and informative.
The unit testing was for commands was split out from src/objects/tests.py into the new src/commands/default/test.py in order to keep the testing modules thematically grouped with the things they are testing.
