gs-plugin-job-install-apps — A plugin job to install apps

Functions

Types and Values

Description

GsPluginJobInstallApps is a GsPluginJob representing an operation to install apps.

This class is a wrapper around GsPluginClass.install_apps_async(), calling it for all loaded plugins.

Unless GS_PLUGIN_INSTALL_APPS_FLAGS_NO_DOWNLOAD is specified, the first step of this job downloads the app and any dependencies, ready to be installed or updated.

Plugins are expected to schedule downloads using the system download scheduler if appropriate (if the download is not guaranteed to be under a few hundred kilobytes, for example), so that the user’s metered data preferences are honoured.

Plugins are expected to send progress notifications to the UI by calling the provided GsPluginProgressCallback function. Plugins may also call gs_app_set_progress() on apps as they are updated, but this method will eventually be removed as it cannot represent progress in multiple ongoing operations.

Callbacks from this job will be executed in the GMainContext which was thread-default at the time when GsPluginJob.run_async() was called on the GsPluginJobInstallApps. For plugins, this means that callbacks must be executed in the same GMainContext which called GsPluginClass.install_apps_async().

If the app is already downloaded, the first step of this job is a no-op.

Unless GS_PLUGIN_INSTALL_APPS_FLAGS_NO_APPLY is specified, the second step of this job applies the app and any dependencies (installing the app, and updating dependencies or installing missing dependencies).

Once that is completed, the apps will typically be set to the state GS_APP_STATE_INSTALLED, or GS_APP_STATE_UNKNOWN.

On failure the error message returned will usually only be shown on the console, but they can also be retrieved using gs_plugin_loader_get_events().
