Add a failover if error occurs when push data

[remy56k]

Hi! First, thanks for WaveLogGate & Wavelog, awesome stack.

Is it possible to add a failover behavor if Internet connection fail or timeout occurs ?

• WaveLogGate/main.js

  Line 200 in 875e996

  req.on('error', (err) => {

• WaveLogGate/main.js

  Line 207 in 875e996

  req.on('timeout', (err) => {

My idea is simple : write the QSO in a local ADIF file if error, so it'll be easy to import the file when back home.

I can try to implement this but I'm not very used to compiling JS for cross-platform, I use/prefer Golang for this kind of interfaces.

Thanks,

At first i liked the idea. But the longer i'm thinking about it, questions are coming up:
Why would one save an ADIF twice as failover?

i mean: If you are doing FT8 with WJST-X, the WSJT-X creates his own ADIF regardless if reporting to UDP (for WLGate) is set nor not. You can simply upload the WSJT-X-ADIF to Wavelog. With it's automatic dupe-check only the new ones are going to be added to Wavelog.

Or i am wrong here?

Thanks for consideration !

Indeed, but :

• WSJT ADIF log can be huge
• WSJT ADIF log is more difficult to find on the different OS than a path provided by the user
• If the WLG is hidden behind the WSJT window, you don't see if an error occurs, if just some QSO fail (4G sharing, bad networking), you cannot notice there are missing entries in your log.
• I know WaveLog can handle duplicate entries, but with a 10Mo WSJT file for just 5 missing QSO, it seems not very handy.

New idea : maybe just ask for a folder instead a file path, and make error files like : YYYYMMDD_missing-QSO.adi.
If a file exists with the date of the day, some QSO are missing and need to be imported.

Risk that those files are ignored by OP is the same as at WSJT-X.
So redundant Data is growing and growing.

I agree, but the case of a down WaveLog server or instable network are exceptions, and user knows where the folder is, the file or folder can be purged after import.
WSJT logs can not be purged without loose done countries.

Maybe add the feature as optional with a check box to enable it if needed ?
I think it's important in /P operations to be sure QSO are not lost when using WLG.

Thanks for consideration,
