Etcher currently elevates a child writer proxy that itself spawns the
Etcher CLI in robot mode, parses the output, and proxies those messages
to the GUI application over IPC.
After these set of changes, Etcher elevates a single child writer
process that directly communicates back with the GUI using IPC. The main
purpose behind these changes is to simplify the overall architecture and
fix various issues caused by the current complex child process tree.
Here's a summary of the changes:
- Stop wrapping the Etcher CLI to perform writing
- Remove the robot option from the Etcher CLI (along with related
documentation)
- Elevate a new `child-write.js` standalone executable
- Move the relevant bits of `lib/child-writer` to the `image-writer` GUI
module
- Remove the `lib/child-writer` directory
- Add a new "Child died unexpectedly" Mixpanel event
- Floor state percentage in the flash state model
The above changes made is possible to tackle all the remaining issues
where the writer process would remain alive even if the parent died.
Change-Type: patch
Changelog-Entry: Ensure the writer process dies when the GUI application is killed.

The `flashComplete` message takes the drive object and the image
basename as arguments. This was updated on the GUI, but causes the CLI
to throw an error upon completion.

* feat(gui): Friendly error dialog when opening image fails
This displays a friendlier error dialog if opening an image fails
due any reason (like i.e. an unsupported compression method)
Change-Type: patch
* test(image-stream): Add test for unsupported compression method
* test(image-stream): Only check `error.description` when given
* test(image-stream): Add zip-deflate64.zip
We add the image filename, its destination drive, and application icon
to the notifications.
See: https://github.com/resin-io/etcher/issues/1443
Changelog-Entry: Add image name, drive name, and icon to notifications.
If we get EIO at this point, then it means that the writer did
everything it could to recover (like multiple retries), and the error
is truly an input/output error coming from the operating system.
In this commit, we show a nice user friendly message explaining what
happened, and advising users to try again with another drive, reader, or
port instead of showing an uncaught EIO error.
Change-Type: patch
Changelog-Entry: Show a friendly user message on EIO after many retries.

This commit shows a user friendly message when Etcher loses access to
the drive while flashing/validating, and prevents the cryptic errors
from getting to Sentry.

The current validation message is obscure and tends to lead users to

There are certain application messages that should be re-used between
the CLI and the GUI. In order to allow such re-usability, we extract out
the application messages used in JavaScript into
`lib/shared/messages.js` as a collection of Lodash `_.template`
templates.
Notice this file doesn't include application messages included in
Angular templates directly since it'd be hard to refactor all of them.
We plan to move to React soon, which will allow moving the remaining
messages very easily.
