Reference to Existing Issue

Closes #1345.

Builds on top of #1395, which added the BatchCommand model and the REST APIs.

Description of Changes

1. Execute page (step 1)

New admin view at /admin/connection/batchcommand/execute/, reachable from the
Network Operations menu, which collects the command and its targets:

type            Command type (required)
input           Rendered by execute-command.js according to the type
                (shell command, new password, ...)
label           Short label to identify the mass command (required)
notes           Optional notes
organization    Organization (optional for superusers)
group           Device group (optional)
location        Location (optional)

Non superusers must choose at least one target and can only choose organizations,
groups and locations they manage. A valid submission is stored in the session and
redirects to the confirm page (Post/Redirect/Get), so that the device table of the
next step can be paginated with ordinary GET requests.

2. Confirm page (step 2)

Lists the devices matched by the chosen targets, resolved with
BatchCommand.dry_run() so that the admin and the background execution cannot
drift apart, and lets single devices be excluded before executing.

The table is the changelist of the ModelAdmin currently registered for
Device, composed at request time, so the columns added by other modules
(eg. the health status of openwisp-monitoring) appear here too. The exclusions are
kept in sessionStorage, so they survive the page changes of the device table.

3. Change page

Custom change form showing the details of the mass command and a paginated table
of its results:

Device      Status      Output      Modified
  • devices skipped during creation are merged into the same table, with the reason
    they were skipped
  • the output of each command is truncated to its last line
  • filters by status (including skipped), location, group and organization
    (superusers), plus a search by device name

4. Real time monitoring

New websocket endpoint:

ws/controller/batch-command/<uuid:pk>

BatchCommandConsumer reuses BaseDeviceConsumer and accepts the connection
only for superusers and for staff users who can add and view mass commands and
manage the organization of the batch.

The change page updates without reloading: the status of each device, the output,
the counter of the affected devices and the paginator. On connect and on every
reconnection the client asks for the state of the page it is showing, so nothing
is missed while the connection is down.

Messages sent to the browser:

command_update    a result was created or its status changed
batch_status      the status of the mass command changed
batch_state       reply to "request_current_state", used on (re)connection

5. Changelist

Label     Organization     Status     Type     Affected devices     Created

Filters by organization, status, type, group and location, and search by label,
notes, organization, device, location and group.

6. Flow

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Django admin workflow for multitenant batch-command execution. The workflow supports target selection, review, device exclusions, validation recovery, pagination, filtering, skipped-device display, and real-time WebSocket monitoring. The change adds batch-command model helpers, admin views, templates, JavaScript, CSS, routing, menu wiring, widgets, filters, documentation, and automated coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e47dc

This PR adds a multi-step mass-command workflow with live result updates, but the current implementation can expose plaintext passwords, execute commands on devices users removed from the selection, and fail or display incorrect result pages under common filtering, pagination, retry, and concurrent-update conditions. These security and correctness issues should be fixed before merging.

This PR implements real-time monitoring with polling. Is polling the intended final approach? #1344 includes a Mass Command WebSocket endpoint as a requirement, although it leaves the scope open to move or split. This is confusing. Please clarify. Let's implement this asap.

[WARNING]: test_confirm_page_device_admin was removed without replacement, dropping the only regression coverage for the composed device admin of the confirm page

While merging the wizard and changelist test classes, this commit deletes test_confirm_page_device_admin. The removed test was the only coverage for:

  • BatchCommandAdmin.get_device_admin() (admin.py:574): preserving the columns of the registered Device admin (the openwisp-monitoring integration path), forcing the mixin's list_filter/search_fields/actions/ordering over the registered admin, and the per-class isolation of readonly_fields ({"readonly_fields": list(registered.readonly_fields)}) that guards against the mutable shared class-state bug previously flagged.
  • get_device_changelist_template() (admin.py:592): the template fallback used when another module (e.g. django-import-export) rewrites change_list_template on the instance.
  • select_device() checkbox rendering (admin.py:402).

The remaining wizard tests still exercise confirm_command_view() end-to-end, but none assert these composition behaviors, so a regression (for example, reapplying readonly_fields to the shared registered class) would no longer be caught. Consider restoring the test, adapted to the merged class, or adding equivalent coverage.

Database migration conflict on django_content_type

Hello @dee077,
(Analysis for commit 24c66de)

The test failure is caused by an IntegrityError due to a unique constraint violation on django_content_type (app_label, model):

sqlite3.IntegrityError: UNIQUE constraint failed: django_content_type.app_label, django_content_type.model

Remediation

This is usually caused by outdated migration files or duplicate content types generated during test database setup when running migrations alongside serialized test fixtures. Ensure that all app migrations are correctly ordered and depend on the latest migration state of dependencies (such as auth and contenttypes). If you recently added or modified models, run:

python manage.py makemigrations

And verify that your migration dependencies point to the correct leaf nodes.

In `@docs/user/shell-commands.rst`:
- Around line 261-267: Update the skipped-device documentation to match the
existing WebSocket and rendered results behavior: skipped devices are included
as rows in the paginated commands/results table and marked with their skip
status, while their reasons remain in the Skipped devices field. Keep the
documented execution behavior unchanged.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/tests/test_selenium.py`:
- Around line 118-174: Make setUpClass cleanup exception-safe by starting
patch.dict cleanups for ORGANIZATION_ENABLED_COMMANDS and
ORGANIZATION_COMMAND_SCHEMA and registering class cleanup for
unregister_command("uci_show"), so all global mutations are restored if setup
fails; remove the corresponding manual teardown coupling. Also update
_restore_default_groups to restore each app configuration inside a try/finally
around the migration loop, ensuring app_config.models_module is reset when a
migration raises.
- Around line 435-442: Update _wait_for_batch_result to poll for the
BatchCommand row by label before accessing batch.pk or constructing the change
URL, preserving the existing timeout-based waiting behavior and avoiding an
immediate DoesNotExist failure after dispatching the execute action.

Learning: In this repository, flake8 enforces E501 (line too long) via setup.cfg (max-line-length = 88) while ruff ignores E501 via ruff.toml. Therefore, use '# noqa: E501' on lines that intentionally exceed 88 characters to satisfy flake8 without affecting ruff checks. This applies to Python files across the project (any .py) and is relevant for tests as well. Use sparingly and only where breaking lines is not feasible without hurting readability or functionality.

Keep the assertion unchanged. _command_row() assigns command.device.pk, so the assertion matches the admin row value. The template and batch-command.js render both UUID and string IDs as text, so no type change is required.

…al-time monitoring #1345

- Custom admin change form with filtered/paginated commands table
- Merged skipped device rows into main commands table
- Colored status using CSS variables
- Real-time polling for in-progress batches
- Custom CSS and JS for batch command admin

Fixes #1345
…admin link

- Add  cached_property on AbstractBatchCommand (excludes skipped)
- Use  in changelist list_display for consistent status colors
- Replace ID with label as the clickable link in admin changelist
- Add  CSS to command-inline.css for consistency
- Add label, notes to change form fields; reorder columns (created last, affected_devices before created)
Aligns the admin workflow with the patterns used by the batch upgrade
of openwisp-firmware-upgrader and fixes the issues found while
reviewing the whole feature.

- Reuse BatchCommand.dry_run() for the confirm page target queryset
  instead of duplicating the targeting rule in the admin
- Return querysets from resolve_devices() and dry_run(), consuming
  them with iterator() where the whole result is walked
- Restore the live counters: affected_devices and total_devices were
  cached properties, which froze the websocket payload at the value
  computed for the first command of the batch
- Truncate the command output of the results table to its last line
- Show date and time in the "Modified" column, formatted server side
  so that live rows and reloaded rows are identical
- Fix the location filter of the skipped devices, which used a non
  existing device_id field of DeviceLocation and raised a 500
- Show the "Clear all filters" link for the location, group and
  organization filters too
- Remove one COUNT query per changelist row by annotating the
  affected devices, and fetch the batch and the skipped devices only
  once per request
- Use message_user(), load the swappable models at module level and
  drop the duplicated readonly fields for consistency with the other
  admin classes
- Restructure batch-command.js and execute-command.js to module level
  functions, dropping the dead gettext fallbacks and guards
- Sync the verbose name of skipped_devices in the migrations, which
  was left unmigrated and failed checkmigrations
- Update the query count of the estimated location tests, the
  location foreign key of BatchCommand adds a SET NULL cascade

Closes #1345

- Use _registry instead of get_model_admin(), which is Django 5.0+
  while the CI matrix still runs Django 4.2
- Validate the UUID request parameters before they reach the queryset
  filters, a malformed id returned a 500
- Log the ValidationError swallowed when resolving the wizard targets
- Store the device name and error in skipped_devices and cap the admin
  field to a count, a per reason breakdown and ten devices, a batch
  skipping thousands of devices rendered one line each
- Render the skipped devices live: send bounded counts and previews on
  batch_status and window the skipped rows into the paginated page of
  the websocket resync
- Use gettext instead of gettext_lazy in the websocket payload, the
  lazy proxy could not be serialized by the channel layer
- Drop the page parameter from the change page filter links so that
  filtering restarts from the first page
- Keep deleted devices in the skipped rows of the unfiltered table,
  the field and the table disagreed on the count
- Add an accessible label to the device checkboxes of the confirm page
- Validate the change password fields inline, the form is submitted
  with novalidate so the length was never checked
- Restore the wizard values when going back from the confirm page
- Hide the command types the organization is not allowed to run from
  non superusers, every other entry point already filtered them
- Extract the repeated field markup of the execute page into an include
  and use SimpleNamespace for the status filter spec
- Use the locale aware format for the "Triggered by" timestamp
- Drop the full stop from the two validation messages shown in the
  skipped devices list
- Remove three redundant queries from the execute endpoint: the devices
  check of an unsaved batch, the second count of the websocket payload
  and the emptiness check after devices.set()
- Return an empty command queryset for the "skipped" status filter,
  it listed every command of the batch on top of the skipped devices
- Drop the command input from the batch websocket payloads and mask it
  in the admin, the change_password plaintext was exposed until the
  celery task cleaned it
- Reuse the affected devices count for the total rows, total_devices
  ran the same COUNT a second time on every command save
- Submit the execute form from its submit event so that pressing Enter
  runs the same validation as the button
- give the confirm page device admin its own readonly_fields copy
- reject an execution whose wizard token or device set no longer matches
- check the view permission in the batch websocket consumer instead of add
- defer batch websocket broadcasts to transaction commit and log failures
- take the affected devices count from the creating loop instead of a query
- cap the command output preview to the last 100 characters
- build the batch filters from skipped devices too and page them lazily
- preserve server totals on the change page whenever a filter is active
- link live rows to the device recent commands section
- scope the group and location choices to the selected organization
- use the command schema widget for the mass command input, so any
  registered command type can be configured, reviewed and executed
- keep its generated fields and validation errors consistent with the
  rest of the admin form
- cover the admin views, the API and the models of the mass command
  workflow, reaching ~99% coverage
- add selenium tests for the wizard, the review page and the mass
  command page, with their search, filters and multitenancy
