Wifi config isn't persistent #586

Closed sleek-geek closed 5 years ago

sleek-geek commented 5 years ago

Hello, When trying to save WIFI ssid config, it's connecting and saved, but on reboot they are completely gone. and I have to renter them again.Is it a build related issue ?! I don't see config files anywhere in the root filesystem.I am using the buildroot repository to generate the img for a RPI3.

sleek-geek commented 5 years ago

in fact all settings are not persistent for some reason.

Got the same issue building with buildroot for raspberrypi3. Is there an other way to hardcode wifi settings during build?

edit: this propably belongs in wpe framework

@samy-mohsen Could you describe a bit more on what you are trying to achieve? It does not sound like a WPEWebKit issue, but more like a configuration issue of the RPI build.

@woutermeek

We are trying to build the wpe image using buildroot method, but so far no config persists at all.

It does not sound like a WPEWebKit issue, but more like a configuration issue of the RPI build.

Do you need the build config file ?! Can you point out which configs might cause this issue ?

@woutermeek Also wanted to point out that all filesystems are writable when I checked.

@Minasodrom you are right. This is functionality that belongs to the Wifi plugin in the WPEFramework. This is not part of the WebKit. The WPEFramework is a framework to start/host the webkit browser and all kind of other pieces of functionality that do not belong in a browser. The plugins, running in the WPEframework, of wich the WiFiPlugin is one, translate lowlevel functionality into RESTFull API's which can be used in the browser. The RESTFull API will have a counter part in the very near future (coming few weeks) based on JSONRPC. This plugin (found here: https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEFrameworkPlugins/tree/master/WifiControl) is actually a simple gateway to wpa_supplicant. It is known that the save function is not properly working. a Jira ticket is created and will be adressed in the next few weeks. As it is open source, you are offcourse welcome to fix it as well ;-) The code to save the config is here: https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEFrameworkPlugins/blob/master/WifiControl/WifiControl.cpp#L289-L304

@samy-mohsen the persist location on the rapsberrypi image is /root, here it mounts the second partition of the SD card and it mounts it RW. The path is configured in the /etc/WPEFramework/config.json, field persistentpath. You could change it to any other location but the buildroot image should be oke. There is definitly some stuff stored there but I already got some reports that the WiFi configuration is not stored correctly, see aslo my remark above. You could potentially try to generate a config in /root/WifiControl/wpa_supplicant.conf (see https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEFrameworkPlugins/blob/master/WifiControl/WifiControl.cpp#L99) as this is where the plugin will start reading for its configuration.

I think this issue needs to be moved to: https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEFrameworkPlugins
