After sending a print command via MQTT, monitor whether the printer's
gcode_state changes within 15 seconds. If not, log a warning visible in
support packages. Addresses silent command drops observed on P1S firmware
01.09.01.00 where the printer ignores project_file commands while
continuing to send status updates.
The isSlicedFile() check only matched .gcode or .gcode.3mf extensions,
so archives from .3mf prints (the standard Bambu slicer output) showed
a "SOURCE" badge instead of "GCODE". Since .3mf can be either sliced or
a raw CAD export, now checks the archive's total_layers and
print_time_seconds metadata to distinguish them. Also passes the
original filename when creating archives from file manager prints.
Three bugs allowed uploaded gcode files to survive on the printer's SD
card, causing firmware restarts to auto-start old prints hours later.
1. The post-print cleanup retry loop always broke after attempt 1
regardless of delete success — delete_file_async returns False on
failure instead of raising, so the except-based retry never fired.
2. When start_print() failed after uploading, the file was never cleaned
up since on_print_complete never fires for prints that never started.
3. Cleanup failures were logged at DEBUG level, invisible in production.
This allows users sending particularly large prints to slow printers such as the P1-series to start a print and then move onto another task in Bambuddy immediately (such as starting more prints on more printers). It also gives the user visibility into what's happening instead of a loading indicator appearing for an indefinite period of time.
The new toast-based UI uses websockets to update in real time. It will also appear for other users / instances of Bambuddy, not just the user who started the prints, allowing more transparency and handling cases where the user closes the page and then comes back wanting to know the status of the dispatching.
fix: review fixes for background dispatch PR #408
- Restore missing imports in main.py (inventory, print_log, virtual_printers, mqtt_smart_plug_service)
- Guard voidresp() for A1 printers to prevent hang after upload
- Don't fail upload on voidresp() error since data transfer already completed
- Add ams_mapping to register_expected_print calls for Spoolman usage tracking
- Fix cancel_job TOCTOU race by using single lock acquisition
- Fix batch counter reset TOCTOU by re-checking condition inside second lock
- Add backgroundDispatch translations to fr.ts and pt-BR.ts
- Remove dead upload_progress_callback definitions
- Skip redundant "Print queued" toast in reprint mode (dispatch toast handles it)
- 5 backend tests: cancel_job single-lock TOCTOU, batch reset re-check,
job lifecycle
- 2 FTP regression tests: voidresp error handling (upload-loop fix),
A1 model voidresp skip
- 1 frontend test: reprint toast suppression
- CHANGELOG: background dispatch feature + test coverage entries
- README: add background dispatch to Scheduling & Automation
- Website: add feature item to Automation section
- Wiki: add Background Print Dispatch section to print-queue.md
