Closes #1344

---------

Co-authored-by: Federico Capoano <f.capoano@openwisp.io>
…toring #1345

Added a Django admin workflow for launching mass commands by organization,
device group, or location. Before execution, users can review the selected
devices and exclude individual devices if needed.

Added result pages to monitor mass command execution, with filtering,
search, skipped-device details, and real-time updates for command status,
output, and overall progress.

Closes #1345
Added an Execute mass command action to the device changelist admin
page, allowing administrators to select specific devices and run mass
commands directly.

Closes #1347

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds asynchronous batch command execution across selected devices, organizations, groups, locations, or system-wide scopes. It introduces batch command models, status aggregation, Celery execution, admin wizard flows, REST endpoints, and WebSocket updates. The admin interface supports confirmation, exclusions, filtering, pagination, and live results. Authorization and organization scoping apply across interfaces. Documentation, sample-app wiring, migrations, CI triggers, and automated tests are also updated.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5b463

Large dry runs can consume excessive resources, and moved devices may remain visible to users outside their current organization. These issues should be resolved before merge.

Explanation

The feature changes stay within issue #1344 in the connection model, task, API, admin, WebSocket, documentation, and supporting tests. However, .github/workflows/ci.yml changes branch triggers and Coveralls flag naming. These CI changes have no concrete connection to mass-command behavior or its tests. The REST API documentation also replaces existing example bearer tokens, which is unrelated to the linked coding objective.

Full details: Ui Changes, Regression Test, Docs

Explanation

The pull request adds end-user-facing admin UI: new batch-command templates, CSS, JavaScript, admin workflow, and Selenium UI tests are present in the authoritative diff. The PR description contains no screen recording or before/after screenshots, and the diff contains no such media or markers. The change does provide regression tests and documentation, so those requirements pass; the missing UI evidence fails the custom check.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/user/rest-api.rst`:
- Around line 554-569: Update both organization values in the
BatchCommandExecute examples to valid organization UUIDs, including the JSON
payload in the curl request; keep the existing token placeholder unchanged.

In `@docs/user/websocket-api.rst`:
- Around line 20-21: Update the mass command endpoint description in the
websocket API documentation to say it accepts the documented request type, not a
single request, while preserving the surrounding pagination and filtering
behavior description.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/admin.py`:
- Around line 1070-1081: Restrict the Location and DeviceGroup querysets in the
batch change-form logic to objects associated with devices in the current batch,
while preserving the existing organization and managed-organization filters.
Update the queryset setup around Location.objects.all() and
DeviceGroup.objects.all() so superusers viewing organizationless batches do not
receive every deployment-wide choice.
- Line 1156: Update the batch command pagination/count flow around Paginator and
the batch_command_change_form.html counter so the displayed “commands” value
uses commands_count rather than the combined commands-and-skipped row count;
preserve row pagination for skipped devices while supplying the command count
separately to the template.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/api/views.py`:
- Line 181: Bound the device IDs returned by the dry-run response in the
BatchCommand.dry_run flow before the list comprehension materializes them. Add
pagination or enforce the established/documented maximum result size for
data["devices"], preserving the existing UUID string conversion for the returned
subset.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/apps.py`:
- Around line 170-190: Add CSS rules and corresponding SVG assets for the custom
icon classes configured by the Network Operations menu group, including
ow-network-operations, ow-run-mass-command, and ow-mass-commands. Ensure the
assets are loaded by the admin theme so MenuGroup and ModelLink render these
icons correctly.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/base/models.py`:
- Around line 617-619: Update the completion-save flow around self.batch_command
and save(force_update=True) to refresh or safely resolve the related
BatchCommand before persistence; when it has been deleted, clear and persist
batch_command_id instead of writing the stale foreign key. Invoke
calculate_and_update_status() only after a batch is successfully resolved, while
preserving normal aggregation for existing batches.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/channels/consumers.py`:
- Line 119: Scope skipped devices by the requesting user’s managed organizations
before both get_skipped_preview() and filter_skipped_items() process results,
while preserving unrestricted access for superusers. Update the skipped-device
flow so build_skipped_row() only receives authorized devices, matching the
organization scoping applied by scope_commands().

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/tasks.py`:
- Around line 104-105: Update the launch_batch_command task by removing
bind=True from `@shared_task` and deleting the unused self parameter, while
preserving batch_id handling and all existing task behavior.

In
`@openwisp_controller/connection/templates/admin/connection/batch_command/batch_command_change_form.html`:
- Around line 163-171: Update both pagination URL-building loops in the previous

as well as its value, while continuing to exclude the page key.

In

- Around line 83-87: Move the selected-count and selected-count-label elements
outside the blocktrans in the batch command confirmation template, leaving only
the singular/plural “device” label inside translation. Preserve the existing IDs
and use device_count for the rendered count so execute-command.js continues
updating both elements reliably.

In
`@openwisp_controller/connection/templates/admin/connection/batch_command/form_row.html`:
- Around line 17-21: Update BatchCommandExecutionForm.__init__ to add each
field’s help-text element id to the corresponding widget’s aria-describedby
attribute, preserving any existing descriptors; keep the existing
field.id_for_label_helptext id in form_row.html so screen readers can associate
the help text with its widget.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/tests/test_admin.py`:
- Around line 589-598: Protect every admin.site mutation in the relevant test,
including the nested subtest, by moving unregister/register calls inside their
try blocks. Add a shared restore_device_admin helper that unregisters Device
only when currently registered before restoring device_admin_class, and use it
in both finally blocks so failed replacement registration cannot mask the
original exception.
- Line 677: Update the affected subTests in the admin API test so each
initializes its own fixtures locally: create more_devices within the “detail
page” setup instead of relying on the “confirm page” subTest, and obtain
response within the “detail page” flow instead of reusing the “list queries”
result. Keep the existing assertions and test behavior unchanged while
eliminating cross-subTest state dependencies.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/tests/test_selenium.py`:
- Around line 92-94: Replace the fixed sleep after command submission with a
WebDriverWait on self.web_driver that waits until

Use a valid organization UUID in both examples.

BatchCommandExecuteSerializer validates organization as a UUID-backed relation before execution. "org-uuid" is not a UUID, and "<organization_uuid>" would also fail if sent literally. Replace both values with a UUID for an organization in the target installation. The surrounding examples already use concrete resource UUIDs and reserve placeholders such as <token> for values that readers must replace.

Describe one accepted message type, not one request.

BatchCommandConsumer accepts request_current_state repeatedly. Clients use it for pagination and filter changes. Replace “the single request” with “the request type” to avoid implying that only one request is allowed per connection.

As per path instructions, documentation must remain consistent with implemented behavior.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The location and group filters are unbounded.

Location.objects.all() and DeviceGroup.objects.all() are only narrowed by the batch organization and by the managed organizations. For a batch without an organization viewed by a superuser, every location and every group of the deployment becomes a filter choice, and all of them are rendered in the change page markup. Large deployments would produce a very large page. Consider limiting the choices to the locations and groups actually present among the devices of the batch.

The paginator count mixes commands and skipped devices.

Paginator(range(total), per_page) is built over commands_count + len(skipped_items), so paginator.count is the number of table rows, not the number of commands. The change form template renders that value as "{{ counter }} commands" (batch_command_change_form.html line 152-155). A batch with 3 commands and 5 skipped devices reports "8 commands". Either pass the command count separately for that label, or change the label to count rows.

Bound or paginate the dry-run device response.

When devices is omitted, BatchCommand.dry_run can resolve every device in the selected scope. This line materializes every UUID and returns the complete set in one response. A large deployment can consume excessive database, memory, serialization, and network resources.

Paginate the result or enforce a documented maximum result size.

As per path instructions, flag “obvious performance regressions, such as heavy loops, repeated I/O, or unoptimized queries.”

Move the ids out of the translatable block.

id="selected-count" and id="selected-count-label" are inside {% blocktrans %}. Translators edit that string, so a translation can drop or rename the attributes, and the live count update in execute-command.js then stops working silently. Keep the elements outside the translated string and translate only the word "device"/"devices".

Proposed change
-        {% blocktrans trimmed count counter=device_count %}
-        <strong id="selected-count">{{ counter }}</strong>&nbsp;<span id="selected-count-label">device</span>

Link the help text to its field for screen readers.

The help text div gets id="{{ field.id_for_label }}_helptext", but no element references that id. Django's own admin/includes/fieldset.html works because the admin form adds aria-describedby to the widget attributes. Here the widget is rendered unchanged, so assistive technology does not announce the help text. Set aria-describedby on each widget in BatchCommandExecutionForm.__init__, or remove the unused id.

Protect every admin registration mutation with cleanup.

admin.site is process-wide. The outer block and nested subtest mutate it before entering try. If replacement registration raises after Device is unregistered, later tests can see Device unregistered. Move both mutations into their protected blocks. Make restoration tolerate a failed replacement registration so it does not mask the original exception.

Keep each subTest independent.

more_devices is assigned in the “confirm page” subTest and used in the later “detail page” subTest. If setup fails before the assignment, the later reference raises UnboundLocalError.

The API test has the same dependency: response is assigned in “list queries” and used to build the detail URL. Create the detail fixtures inside their respective subTests instead of reusing state from an earlier subTest.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/tests/test_admin.py` at line 677, Update the
affected subTests in the admin API test so each initializes its own fixtures
locally: create more_devices within the “detail page” setup instead of relying
on the “confirm page” subTest, and obtain response within the “detail page” flow
instead of reusing the “list queries” result. Keep the existing assertions and
test behavior unchanged while eliminating cross-subTest state dependencies.

Replace the fixed sleep with a deterministic wait.

sleep(0.3) makes this test timing dependent. On a slow run the redirect can still be in flight when self.open(path) executes, which reintroduces the race the sleep is meant to avoid. Wait for the redirect URL instead.

♻️ Proposed fix
-        # Wait for the redirect triggered by command submission to complete.
-        # Navigating away immediately can race with the redirect
-        sleep(0.3)
+        # Wait for the redirect triggered by command submission to complete,
+        # navigating away immediately can race with the redirect
+        WebDriverWait(self.web_driver, 5).until(
+            lambda driver: urlparse(driver.current_url).path == path
+        )
         self.open(path)

Remove the now unused from time import sleep import if no other test uses it.

As per path instructions: "Flag tests that depend on arbitrary sleeps, uncontrolled system time, ... or asynchronous operations that are not properly awaited."
