The uploader is not resumable.

Open cainmagi opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Although dash-uploader is based on resumablejs, it seems that the uploader could not resume from the interrupted uploading file (even we set the same upload_id). To reproduce the experiment, we could:

  1. Launch a dashboard with an uploader, and the upload_id set to a specific value (or not used).
  2. Upload a large file.
  3. When the file is uploaded for half. Use Ctrl + C to interrupt the server.
  4. Launch the same dashboard again.
  5. Upload the same large file. We could find that the progress starts from 0, not half.

I wonder whether the author is interested in implementing the resumable feature in the future. In my understanding, this implementation may be tricky, but I do not need this feature urgently.

Thanks for posting the issue. If I understand correctly the documentation of resumable.js, the testChunks must be set on, and there should be handling of these test chunks implemented in the server side.

From src/lib/components/Upload_ReactComponent.react.js you can see that the testChunks are hard-coded to be disabled. Perhaps this has been an speed optimization thing for the original author, or the server side implementation just was not finished.

I guess I would not be implementing this in the near future as I have other projects that have higher priority, and right now I do not have need for the resumability. That being said, I can accept a PR fixing this and offer some help.

How would one fix this?

So, what would need to be done is to add some new parameter to du.Upload, like resumable=True, which would be then propagated to the underlying React component as testChunks=True (to this line of Upload_ReactComponent.react.js). I would also change the testMethod to 'GET' as this is the default.

Then, probably the server side checking the test chunks might need some corrections. They are in the _get() method of the HttpRequestHandler.

Hi @sorenwacker, I am not entirely sure what you are asking. Could you clarify your question?

I am getting this messages when uploading multiple files. I wonder if this is the same issue or something new.
