Bugs fixed:
- handler/media.go: createLibraryHandler and deleteLibraryHandler
spawned goroutines that called svc.Watcher.Refresh(c.Request.Context()).
Since the HTTP request returns immediately, the context is cancelled
before the watcher finishes. Use context.Background() so the refresh
always completes.
- handler/streaming.go: scrapeLibraryHandler had the same issue with
c.Copy().Request.Context(). Fixed to context.Background().
Smoke test improvements:
- Always create test media files (dummy or ffmpeg), always run scan and
search — only ffprobe-specific assertions (width=320) and HLS are
gated behind HAVE_FFMPEG.
- ID is now always set (from library media list), so history/favourites
/playlists tests never hit an unbound variable.
- NFO + recycle-bin assertions no longer gated behind HAVE_FFMPEG since
they work on any media row (even dummy files).
Verified: go build + go vet + go test all pass; 55/55 endpoint assertions
pass with 0 server 5xx; smoke test 26/26 PASS with and without ffmpeg.
After deploying the binary against a fresh data dir and exercising every
major REST endpoint by hand, codify the verification as a re-runnable
script.
scripts/smoke-test.sh:
- Spins up bin/mediastation-go against a tempdir.
- Generates 3 sample clips (movie, tv, anime) + an external SRT.
- Walks 26 assertions: health → auth → libraries → scan → ffprobe →
season parser → search → range stream → HLS playlist → external
subtitle → history → favourites → playlists → RBAC (alice 403) →
NFO export → recycle bin → SPA fallback → graceful shutdown.
- Tears the server down via SIGTERM and reports pass/fail counts.
- Exits non-zero on any failure so CI can use it as a deployment gate.
Local verification on this branch: PASS=26 FAIL=0.
Wiring:
- Makefile: new 'smoke' target, depends on 'build'.
- .github/workflows/ci.yml: third job 'smoke' that depends on backend
+ frontend, installs ffmpeg, builds both halves, then runs the
script. The CI pipeline now blocks merges that break end-to-end
deployability.
