fix(data): convert whole streamed layers off the UI thread by Mavrick-F · Pull Request #1889 · opengeos/RustGIS

Mavrick-F · 2026-11-13T01:15:01Z

Summary

Data Interop currently converts only a streamed layer's loaded view and does its conversion on the desktop frame. A three-feature source with an empty loaded view produces an empty file.

File conversion now reads the whole source through the export lifecycle, with progress and Cancel. The desktop pane asks for a destination before starting the worker. GeoJSON and CSV use chunked reading where supported; KML, GPX and WKT use the existing whole-source reader within its memory limit. Text-only conversion refuses streamed layers rather than returning a partial view. Browser downloads use the text path, so streamed layers are refused there; fully loaded layers still download.

The explicit format, custom name field and command result fields are preserved. GeoJSON and WKT serialization check Cancel between features, and conversion reports unread rows, malformed dates and non-finite attributes through the existing counted notices. Successful file conversions report their destination and participate in disk-watcher bookkeeping.

Testing

Before: data_interop_reads_the_whole_source fails with 0 exported features versus 3 source features.
Regression coverage: all five formats with a mismatched filename extension, custom KML/GPX names, streamed text refusal, cancellation preserving an existing file, date and numeric-loss notices, and completion without loss notices for clean input.
Additional regressions cover mixed-case formats in the public writer helper and watcher tracking of a conversion that replaces a watched file, including a .gpkg destination with an explicit CSV format.
The real Convert button is exercised through the app frame, including dismissing the picker, starting the export and landing its file. Existing export-thread parity and cancellation-registry tests include data.convert.
Follow-up local validation passes: 17 export-writer tests, 6 focused engine tests, 3 UI/watcher tests, Clippy on changed crates/all targets, strict WebAssembly checking and formatting.
An initial local UI run passed 903/904 tests. The unchanged diskwatch::tests::a_queued_reload_that_is_refused_leaves_a_later_change_marked assertion fails intermittently here (it also passed in isolation); baseline CI passes.
The mixed-case CSV regression compares with the existing CSV serializer, so it follows the coordinate-column order changed by fix(data): a CSV export writes its coordinate columns first #1862. Local data unit tests pass (1,073 passed, 11 ignored), with all-target Clippy and formatting.
Full fork Linux CI passes on aeddb5f6c3c34533b0af8bb1f480a8be4b51bbdc: lint, workspace tests/layers, browser build, licences and notices.

Walkthrough

Data Interop now supports background path-based exports that read complete streamed sources and report progress, cancellation, and export notices. Conversion formats can differ from destination extensions. The UI requests a save path before starting a desktop export.

Changes: Data Interop conversion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Format-aware export and serialization `crates/data/src/export.rs`, `crates/data/src/interop.rs`, `crates/data/src/io.rs`, `crates/data/src/export/tests.rs`	Chunked export accepts an explicit format. WKT-to-CSV reports progress and propagates errors. A GeoJSON text serializer was added. Tests verify explicit, case-insensitive format selection.
Background conversion lifecycle `crates/engine/src/cmd/exports.rs`, `crates/engine/src/cmd/share.rs`, `crates/engine/src/cmd/workflows.rs`, `crates/engine/src/tests.rs`	Path-based `data.convert` requests use the background export lifecycle. Streamed GeoJSON and CSV use chunked source export; other streamed formats load the full dataset. Tests cover complete source reads, notices, cancellation, and export history.
Conversion UI and path tracking `crates/ui-egui/src/analysispane.rs`, `crates/ui-egui/src/diskwatch.rs`, `docs/user-guide/data-formats.md`	The UI requests a destination before conversion and starts a desktop export job. Successful conversions mark matching readers stale. The guide documents background progress, cancellation, and read modes.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: Data Interop file conversion of whole streamed layers now runs off the UI thread. The changeset matches this. It moves conversion to the export lifecycle as a background job, reads the whole source for streamed layers, and adds a desktop worker with progress and Cancel. The title uses the conventional fix(data) prefix and is 58 characters long, so it is concise.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #1857 has two coding requirements.

(1) Path-based conversion must read the whole source, as Export Features does. The whole-PR diff (merge base d39c16e to head aeddb5f) shows convert in crates/engine/src/cmd/workflows.rs delegating any call with path to super::exports::write_here(s, p, "data.convert"). convert_work uses layer.chunk_export() and rustgis_data::export::write_source_as_in for streamed GeoJSON and CSV. Other formats on a streamed layer call layer.load_all_counted() to read the full source before serialization. Both paths read the full source, not the loaded view.

(2) Path-based conversion must run on the export background path with progress and Cancel. convert_work returns an exports::Work closure, and the summary shows data.convert added to IN_BACKGROUND in crates/engine/src/cmd/exports.rs. to_wkt_csv now propagates progress::step(1)?, and GeoJSON and WKT serialization check Cancel between features.

For text returned without a path, convert refuses streamed layers with an explicit error. This meets the issue's expected behavior. Unread rows, unread dates and null numbers are reported through the existing notice helpers.

Limitation: the incremental diff from previous reviewed head de88ff7 to aeddb5f could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout. The whole-PR diff of workflows.rs at the current head was read and supports the requirements. Changes in analysispane.rs, diskwatch.rs and the tests were assessed from the summary only.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Each changed area maps to #1857 or supports its implementation.

workflows.rs (read at current head): convert, convert_work, conversion_format and converted implement the whole-source and background requirements. conversion_format is case-sensitive, which matches the existing validation. It does not conflict with #1857.
export.rs: write_source_as_in supplies the explicit-format chunked writer used by convert_work.
interop.rs, io.rs: to_wkt_csv cancellation and to_geojson_text serve the text and background serialization.
exports.rs, share.rs: registry entry and visibility change for reuse of the existing notices.
analysispane.rs, diskwatch.rs, data-formats.md, and the test files: picker-then-export flow, watcher bookkeeping for converted paths, documentation, and regression tests for the new behavior. These follow from the changed conversion path.

No demonstrated unrelated change was found. Limitation: the incremental diff since de88ff7 is unreadable. Files other than workflows.rs were assessed from the summary.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's Summary, Testing, UI evidence, and Related issue sections. It explains the change: whole-source conversion through the export lifecycle, progress and Cancel, destination prompt before the worker, chunked versus whole-source reading by format, refusal of text-only conversion for streamed layers, and counted notices. Testing lists the before/after failing test, regression coverage, validation commands and results, and a CI link. UI evidence includes before and after screenshots, which the template requires for a visible change. The Related issue section cites #1857. The only shortfall is that the 'Closes #1857' line is present but the template's 'Part of' form is not needed, so the section is complete. The description also notes an intermittent unrelated test failure with a baseline CI link, which is acceptable disclosure.

+        return Err("a streamed layer needs a path to convert its whole source; text conversion would contain only the loaded view".into());


Bug (medium, ~65%): the browser can no longer convert a streamed layer. The browser has one thread and is out of scope for the background rule, and streamed sources exist on wasm (VIEW_LIMIT and related constants in crates/map/src/source.rs are wasm-specific). This branch refuses every text conversion of a streamed layer, so the browser's Convert button now always errors for such layers. Previously it returned the partial view; the refusal fixes the silent loss, but the browser has no way to get the whole source. The text path could call layer.load_all_counted() synchronously here, then report the unreadable rows and dates the same way convert_work does. Otherwise, the docs and the PR description should say that browser conversion of streamed layers is unsupported.

This follows #1857’s Expected section: text-only conversion may refuse a streamed layer instead of returning a partial view. Browser downloads use that text path, so they now report the refusal rather than silently omit features. The Data Interop table in docs/user-guide/data-formats.md already states that streamed text requires a path. I have also made the browser limitation explicit in the PR description; fully loaded browser layers still convert. Whole-source browser downloads would extend the requested scope.

        assert_eq!(there_params, logged_here.map(|(c, p, ok)| (c, unpathed_json(&p, &here), ok)), "{command} {file}");
-        let filed = s.diagnostics.records().last().map(|r| r.source.clone());
-        assert_eq!(filed.as_deref(), Some(command), "the history files what it said under the command");
+        if !said_here.is_empty() {


Test coverage (~85%): this guard disables a check for every command in the loop, not just data.convert. When a command says nothing, the "history files what it said under the command" assertion is skipped, so share.exportLayer, share.exportMap and the other clean exports lose that check. The loop never runs it when said_here is empty. Suggested fix: record the diagnostics count before the call and assert on the records added since then, which holds whether or not anything was said.

Addressed in de88ff78 as part of adding the file-conversion completion notice. Every successful file conversion now says what it wrote, so the conditional guard is unnecessary and the original unconditional history assertion is restored. The focused export-thread parity test and full fork CI pass.

-/// longitude/latitude, or CSV, KML or GPX couldn't hold some of it.
+/// Converts text on the caller's thread for scripts and browser downloads. A streamed layer


Performance (low-medium, ~50%): the text path still runs on the UI thread in the desktop app. RustGisApp::run (crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs near line 2436) routes only a few commands to background readers, and data.convert isn't one of them. So a call from inside the app (the Assistant, or any path that goes through RustGisApp::run) without path serializes a whole non-streamed layer on the UI thread, with no Cancel. The doc comment says who calls it ("scripts and browser downloads"), but AGENTS.md requires a command that must run on the UI thread to say why. Either route no-path calls to the background, or document the reason here. I did not check whether the Assistant reaches RustGisApp::run.

#1857 explicitly permits the no-path text result to stay synchronous. Preserving the immediate {text} result is the reason for the caller-thread path documented here; scripts and browser downloads consume that result directly. The desktop Convert button now chooses a path and calls exportjob::start, with progress and Cancel. An application-wide asynchronous adapter for text-returning calls would extend the issue’s requested scope.

+    } else if let Some(path) = crate::dialogs::pick_save(&name, &[ext], tl!("Converted data")) {


Nit (~90%): the file picker opens before the one-export-at-a-time check. exportjob::start refuses while another export runs, but only after the user has chosen a destination. Calling exportjob::idle(app)? before pick_save would fail early and avoid a wasted dialog. Not a correctness issue.

exportjob::start still enforces one export at a time before any conversion or write starts. Checking idle before the picker would avoid the unnecessary dialog, so I’m leaving that UX improvement for the release quality pass.

Code review

No earlier review threads existed, so every concern here is new.

Bugs

Browser conversion of streamed layers is now refused outright. The browser is outside the background rule, and streamed sources exist on wasm, so the Convert button errors for them and nothing reads the whole source there. Medium, ~65%. Inline comment on crates/engine/src/cmd/workflows.rs:1608.

Security

None found.

Performance

The no-path text path still serializes a whole non-streamed layer on the UI thread when called from inside the app, with no Cancel. I did not confirm whether the Assistant reaches RustGisApp::run. Low-medium, ~50%. Inline comment on workflows.rs:1599.

Quality

The if !said_here.is_empty() guard in exports_run_on_another_thread skips the "history files what it said under the command" check for every command that says nothing, not just data.convert. High, ~85%. Inline comment on crates/engine/src/tests.rs:40107.
The file picker opens before the one-export-at-a-time check runs. Nit, ~90%. Inline comment on crates/ui-egui/src/analysispane.rs:199.

AGENTS.md

The wasm, ON_A_COPY, and layering rules look satisfied. data.convert is in both background lists, and to_wkt_csv has no callers left unchanged.
The text path's doc comment does not give the reason a UI-thread command needs, which the "Never hold the window" rule requires. Folded into the Performance comment.

Checked and not raised

Layer clones are cheap because Features shares its rows through an Arc.
Atomic writes preserve the old file on cancel for both the whole-read and chunked paths.
Unread rows, unread dates, non-finite numbers and CSV losses are reported on both read paths.
The chunk path's extent is the whole source's extent, not the loaded view's.

Prior concerns left alone: 0 (none existed).

Possible overwrite of the layer's own source (low confidence, ~25%). share::write_layer reads a streamed layer whole first when the destination is the GeoPackage it is read from (from_target, "SQLite can't write a file while the same export is reading it"). This chunked branch has no such check. With an explicit format, data.convert can write GeoJSON or CSV to the path of the GeoPackage the layer reads, and write_atomic_with then renames over that file while its SQLite reader is open. On Windows the rename should fail, leaving the file intact but reporting an error. On Unix the rename should succeed, and the layer keeps reading the old inode until reload. diskwatch marks the layer stale, so this is not silent. Worth a check, or a note that it is intentional.

This is an explicit whole-file replacement, rather than an in-place GeoPackage table update. write_atomic_with stages the output separately and renames only after visit_chunks has completed and its traversal connection has closed. The layer's original connection can remain open: a refused replacement returns an error and preserves the original file; a successful replacement leaves existing readers stale through diskwatch, including when the explicit output format differs from the suffix. Reading the whole source first would still leave that layer connection open, so the from_target workaround for SQLite table writes would not remove this platform restriction. No change needed here.

+/// A GeoJSON text conversion with per-feature progress and cancellation.
+pub fn to_geojson_text(ds: &Dataset) -> Result<String> {


Behaviour change for text callers (medium confidence, ~60%). The text returned by data.convert (no path) used to be to_geojson(ds).to_string(), with keys sorted (features, name, type). It is now this streaming writer, which emits type, name, features in that order. The same features and values come out, but the bytes differ for scripts, the Python take_notices consumers, and the browser download. The GeoJsonWriter doc notes the order difference, but the PR description and docs/user-guide/data-formats.md don't mention it. Suggest a sentence in the docs, or a test that pins the output.

The GeoJSON object member order changes, while the feature order, values and parsed result remain the same. The command does not promise canonical JSON bytes. I’m leaving the documentation wording suggestion for the release quality pass; pinning incidental object order would constrain the shared cancellable writer without changing conversion semantics.

Test gap for the streamed path (quality; may wait for the release quality pass). This test covers only the whole-read path, because Cities isn't streamed. The chunked GeoJSON and CSV path (write_chunks_as → write_atomic_with) is never checked for keeping the previous file when Cancel arrives mid-stream. AGENTS.md asks for both ways of testing, so one streamed case here would close it.

The existing data-layer a_failed_streamed_export_leaves_nothing_behind regression checks failure during chunked writing and preservation of an existing GeoJSON file. Both cancellation and source errors propagate through that same atomic-write cleanup; the new command tests separately exercise cancellation. A dedicated mid-stream Cancel case would add coverage for working code, so I’m leaving it for the release quality pass.

Code review

Bugs

No confirmed bugs. I checked the chunked and whole-read conversion paths, the notices, the cancel checks, the diskwatch changes, and the assistant policy. data.convert already carries Effect::Files, so writing a file through the assistant still needs approval.
Possible overwrite of the layer's own GeoPackage in the chunked path. share::write_layer avoids this with from_target, and convert_work does not (crates/engine/src/cmd/workflows.rs:1633). On Windows the rename should fail and leave the file intact. On Unix the layer keeps reading the old inode until reload, and diskwatch marks it stale. Confidence ~25%.

Security

None found. The path and format parameters are validated before background work starts.

Performance

None new. The UI-thread text path and the browser refusal were raised earlier and are left alone (see below).

Quality

Text output of data.convert for GeoJSON now has keys in the order type, name, features, not sorted. The same features come out, but the bytes differ for scripts, and the PR and docs don't mention it (crates/data/src/io.rs:1393). Confidence ~60%.
The cancel-preserves-file test covers only the whole-read path. The chunked GeoJSON/CSV path has no such check (crates/engine/src/tests.rs:34737). This may wait for the release quality pass.
Minor, can wait for the release quality pass: convert_work repeats the note assembly from share::write_layer (unread dates, null numbers, the whole-read branch). The copies may drift. The interop test also leaves its temp directory behind when an assertion fails.

AGENTS.md

Nothing new that breaks a rule. Notices use plain format!, which matches the existing share export code. Background registration, the cancel-test list, and the Exported notice all follow the rules.

Already raised, left alone (4 open, 3 addressed)

Open and not re-raised: the browser refusal of streamed text conversion; the UI-thread text path; the file picker opening before the idle check; the long_commands_stop_when_cancelled_while_they_run guard in tests.rs.
Addressed or outdated and not re-raised: plan_write for data.convert, the format-case normalisation, and the Exported notice.

Inline comments were posted on crates/engine/src/cmd/workflows.rs:1633, crates/data/src/io.rs:1393 and crates/engine/src/tests.rs:34737. The first attempt used absolute paths and failed; the retry used repo-relative paths and succeeded.

+/// Captures a conversion's layer and parameters without reading its source on the UI thread.
+/// GeoJSON and CSV use the chunk writer; KML, GPX and WKT read whole within the existing memory
+/// limits, then check Cancel between features (one geometry's serialization is indivisible).


AGENTS.md (confidence ~70%): the whole-source read for KML, GPX and WKT is an undocumented long step without a Cancel check.

For a streamed layer, the else branch calls layer.load_all_counted(), which runs materialize → read_chunks / read_at_once in crates/data/src/source/mod.rs. Neither calls progress::step or progress::check, so a Cancel waits until the whole read finishes. The doc comment says the formats "read whole … then check Cancel between features", which hides that. AGENTS.md says a long step without a check must be said in its doc comment.

Suggested wording (replaces these three doc lines):

Suggested change

/// Captures a conversion's layer and parameters without reading its source on the UI thread.

/// GeoJSON and CSV use the chunk writer; KML, GPX and WKT read whole within the existing memory

/// limits, then check Cancel between features (one geometry's serialization is indivisible).

/// Captures a conversion's layer and parameters without reading its source on the UI thread.

/// GeoJSON and CSV use the chunk writer, which checks Cancel per feature. KML, GPX and WKT first

/// read the whole source within the existing memory limits; that read is one long step with no

/// Cancel check, so Cancel waits for it. Serialization then checks Cancel between features (one

/// geometry's serialization is indivisible).

Confirmed that Cancel waits for the existing whole-source read. The current doc comment already identifies that boundary: KML, GPX and WKT ‘read whole within the existing memory limits, then check Cancel between features’. It also identifies one geometry’s serialization as indivisible. That states the long read before the per-feature checks; this is not an undocumented step or a change in cancellation behavior. I’m leaving the proposed more explicit wording for the release quality pass.

Code review

Bugs

No new bugs found. I checked the chunked and whole-read conversion paths, the loss notices (the chunk path's CSV losses match export_losses_notes), the streamed-layer refusal, load_all_counted (it returns the partial view only for non-streamed layers, so that path is unreachable here), and progress::step (a no-op without an active run). (confidence: high)

Security

None found. data.convert with a path already wrote files before this PR, and the new path goes through the existing write_here / exportjob continuation checks. (confidence: high)

Performance

None new. The synchronous no-path text conversion on the UI thread was already raised in an earlier thread and answered, so I left it alone. (confidence: n/a)

Quality

Nit, grouped for the release quality pass: convert and convert_work repeat the "rows couldn't be read" and "read as empty" note formatting. A shared helper would remove the duplication.
Nit, grouped for the release quality pass: write_source_as_in is public and accepts any streamed format, including gpkg, fgb and parquet, with the default GeoPackage table. Its name and doc describe Data Interop, which only passes geojson or csv. Restricting it, or documenting the wider behaviour, would avoid surprises for other callers. (confidence: medium)

AGENTS.md

Posted inline (crates/engine/src/cmd/workflows.rs:1621-1623, confidence ~70%): the whole-source read used for KML, GPX and WKT conversions of streamed layers (read_chunks / read_at_once in crates/data/src/source/mod.rs) has no Cancel check, and the convert_work doc comment does not say so. AGENTS.md requires that a long step without a check be stated in its doc comment. The inline comment includes replacement wording.

Prior reviews: I left 8 earlier concerns alone, because they were already raised and answered, or resolved in de88ff7: the browser refusal of streamed layers, the synchronous no-path text path, the picker-before-idle check, the overwrite of the layer's own GeoPackage, GeoJSON key order, the streamed-cancel test gap, the outdated test guard, and the success notice, watcher tracking and format normalization that the author fixed.

The whole-read cancellation boundary is covered in the inline reply. I’m leaving the shared notice-formatting helper and broader public-helper documentation suggestions for the release quality pass. The helper already validates against the existing streamed-format registry; Data Interop restricts its own format parameter separately.
