Selecting sliced files for two printer models and asking for 25 copies
queued one item. The queue emptied as soon as it dispatched and the
Batches tab stayed empty, because no batch is created at quantity 1.
A multi-plate file moves the run count off the modal's Quantity field
onto a stepper beside each plate (#342), hiding the field. The
cross-model submit (#671) posts that field, which in this combination
nothing can set, so it stayed at its initial 1. The modal read "19 runs
in total" above a button that queued one.
Per-plate steppers do not fit a cross-model job: its plate is chosen per
candidate, in the alternatives list, so there is one number to give.
Exclude cross-model from the per-plate mode and the global field comes
back.
Drop the plate selector in that mode too. Its choice never reached the
request; it only keyed the filament-requirements query, so picking plate
3 for a candidate while plate 1 stayed ticked above produced overrides
computed from a plate the job would not print. That query now follows
the primary file's own dropdown.
Dispatch needed nothing -- it already gives each copy its own candidate
rows -- but naming did. A cross-model job carries neither archive_id nor
library_file_id, because the candidates are the files, so both branches
that name a batch missed and every such order would have read "Batch" in
the tab the reporter went looking in. Name it after the first candidate.
The existing cross-model tests all mock a single-plate file, which is
why the pair was never covered; the multi-plate case is added.
The edit dialog offered a printer picker and target-model dropdown for
an item with alternatives. Saving left a row with variants AND a
printer_id, and the scheduler's fixed-printer branch wins that race, so
it dispatched a row whose library_file_id is still null and failed in
the upload. PATCH now refuses printer/model changes on such an item —
comparing against the current value, since the dialog re-sends
target_model unchanged — and the route eager-loads variants, without
which the guard could not see them and every PATCH response dropped the
alternatives from its payload.
Names come from a shared helper now. A cross-model item holds neither
archive_id nor library_file_id until dispatch, so five separate inlined
fallbacks all rendered "File #null"; they now read "x1c.gcode.3mf +1
more".
The queue also grouped these under "Any H2D" — the first candidate
mirrored onto the row — filing a job under a printer it might never run
on. It groups as "Any H2D / X1C", matching the row beneath it.
Adds /library/variant-groups for declaring that several sliced files are
the same job for different printers, and a variants payload on queue
creation that turns such a set into one queue item with a candidate per
file.
The candidate set is validated as a set: one file per printer model, each
file sliced for the model it is offered as, and at least one model with
an active printer. A cross-model item deliberately holds no file of its
own, because print_queue.library_file_id is ON DELETE CASCADE and would
destroy the whole job when a single alternative is deleted.
Fixes internal printer-model codes never being resolved on queue create
and update: normalize_printer_model returns unknown input unchanged, so
the or-chain never reached the code map and a "C13" target matched no
printer and waited forever.
Skips candidates whose file is trashed or missing. Library deletes are
soft, and SQLite runs with PRAGMA foreign_keys off, so neither case is
covered by the schema; the hard-delete paths now also drop the rows.
Adds library_files.variant_target_model so a user can say which printer
a file without slicer metadata is for, kept out of file_metadata so the
assertion is never mistaken for parsed data.
