The list gets a state selector beside the search box. The search now
matches plain text in any case (a '(' no longer breaks it), and in the
grouped list a host's name shows all of its VMs while a host row shows
only while one of its VMs does. The filter moves to
static/js/instance_filter.js with a Node test; the other lists keep
filter-table.js. Collapsing a host now sets a class on its table body
instead of each row's display, so a collapsed host and the filter no
longer undo each other.
The instance lists, the VM page header and the power tab knew three
libvirt states: running, paused and shut off. A VM that was blocked,
shutting down, crashed, suspended by its guest or without a state got
an empty status cell and no actions, so a crashed VM could not even be
forced off from the list. The lists also offered actions users could
not use: Suspend and Resume (views for superusers) to everyone, and
power actions to users who see every VM through the read-only
view_instances permission.
instances/states.py holds the rules in one place: the label and color
of each state, the actions each state allows, and which of them a user
may use (superusers all; a VM's owners all but suspend and resume, and
nothing on a VM an administrator suspended, as the VM page already
showed; nobody else any). Blocked is a running VM; shutting down,
crashed and suspended by the guest get Force Off, after which the VM
can be started. A shut-off template offers Clone to whoever has the
clone permission, as the clone view allows.
The templates read them through two tags (vm_states): the lists and the
VM page header show the state, instance_actions.html has one slot per
button, each enabled or disabled from the allowed actions. The power
tab offers Force Off in the states that need it.
The new tests check the rules directly and render every state in the
lists and on the VM page for a superuser, an owner and a
view_instances user; they fail on the previous code.
