list-files.blade.php and file-upload.blade.php each carried a full copy of the uploader inside an x-data attribute, roughly 200 lines byte-identical between them, and since the upload action renders inside the files page there were two nested Alpine scopes and two progress modals in the DOM at once. Those two views drop from 451 and 378 lines to 35 and 5.

The queue and transport now live in resources/js/file-uploader.js behind Alpine.data, so the JS is linted, bundled and formatted like the rest of the frontend, and the UI belongs to a persistent FileUploadManager Livewire component mounted through a server panel render hook, which means a batch survives SPA navigation and the window can be minimized while browsing elsewhere.

Bugs fixed while moving the code

  1. the maxConcurrent limiter was a no-op, since p.status is not a property of a Promise, so every file uploaded at once instead of three at a time
  2. partial and total failure used identical notification branches, so "3 of 10 failed" was indistinguishable from "all failed"
  3. formatBytes returned undefined above GB
  4. one oversized file aborted the whole batch and nothing uploaded, oversized files are now marked individually and everything else still uploads
  5. failures showed only a status code, the daemon's own message is now surfaced
  6. ListFiles::createFolder swallowed FileExistsException and logged the activity itself, so the new_folder action's already-exists banner was unreachable and every folder creation logged twice, and the action now calls the repository directly
  7. a fresh upload token was fetched per file and the strings were escaped with preg_replace instead of @js(), and the $wire / window.livewire / Livewire fallback chain was dead code

Added

  1. cancellation of an in-flight batch
  2. per-file retry
  3. a beforeunload guard while a batch is in flight
  4. a confirmation step past 500 files so an accidental node_modules drop cannot hang the tab
  5. empty directories in a dragged tree are preserved rather than silently dropped
  6. the modal now has dialog semantics with a focus trap, an announced counter and real <progress> elements
  7. FileUploadManager authorizes every entry point against FileCreate and rejects .. segments before they reach DaemonFileRepository

Daemon behavior this depends on

Each file still fetches its own upload token, because wings rejects a reused one through IsUniqueRequest, verified here as 200 then 404 for a reused grant against 200 then 200 for separate grants. Only empty directories are created up front, because wings creates parent directories itself when it writes a file, so the old per-directory pre-pass was doing nothing for directories that contain files.

Uploads are still all-or-nothing per file, since the endpoint is a plain multipart POST with no range handling, so a large upload that dies restarts from zero and retry is the only mitigation without a daemon-side change.

Testing

tests/Filament/FileUploadManagerTest.php covers the size limit, the FileCreate check, unknown server UUIDs, the path guard, folder creation and the already-exists path, activity logging, and that the manager and drop zone render.

Manually verified against a local wings instance with roughly 1.6 GB pushed through the real daemon: the pool peaks at three and never exceeds it, nested paths land correctly with implicit parent creation, an empty directory in a dragged tree survives, an oversized file errors alone while its neighbours upload, cancelling aborts in-flight requests and leaves no partial files on disk, a batch keeps running across SPA navigation, and the activity log groups one entry per server and target directory with failures excluded.

Screenshots

A batch finishing against real wings, with the nested paths from a dragged folder preserved.

batch complete

Cancelling mid-batch aborts the in-flight requests, drains the queue and offers retry per file, and no partial files are left on disk.

A failure now shows the daemon's own message rather than a bare status code, here a 300 MB file against the daemon's own 256 MB limit.

Each file still fetches its own upload token because wings rejects a reused one

wings creates parent directories when it writes a file.

Adds cancellation, per-file retry, a beforeunload guard while a batch is in
flight, a confirmation step past 500 files, dialog semantics with a focus trap
and announced progress, and a path guard on the manager's folder creation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes file uploads in a persistent Livewire and Alpine manager. It adds server-side validation, folder creation, activity logging, upload controls, progress handling, localization, and integration tests.

Changes

File upload flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Server-side upload management
app/Livewire/FileUploadManager.php, tests/Filament/FileUploadManagerTest.php
FileUploadManager handles server authorization, upload limits, path validation, folder creation, activity logging, and rendering. Tests cover these behaviors.
Client upload orchestration
resources/js/file-uploader.js
The shared Alpine uploader supports directory extraction, queueing, bounded concurrency, XMLHttpRequest uploads, progress tracking, retries, cancellation, notifications, and cleanup.
Persistent upload interface
app/Providers/Filament/ServerPanelProvider.php, app/Filament/Server/Resources/Files/Pages/ListFiles.php, resources/views/filament/server/pages/file-upload.blade.php, resources/views/filament/server/pages/list-files.blade.php, resources/views/livewire/file-upload-manager.blade.php, lang/en/server/file.php
The server panel persists FileUploadManager. File pages delegate to shared browse and drop-zone components. The manager view displays upload progress, queue state, errors, retries, cancellation, minimization, and localized messages.

45-49: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Prefer a dedicated Blade view over an inline Blade::render string.

Blade::render compiles an ad-hoc string and stores the compiled result under storage/framework/views. A small view file, for example resources/views/filament/server/persistent-file-upload-manager.blade.php, keeps the directives editable and avoids escaping the class name inside a PHP string.

33-55: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Report folder-creation failures to the client.

createFolder swallows ConnectionException and returns normally. The Alpine enqueue loop then continues and uploads files into a tree whose empty directories were never created. The user sees a Filament notification, but the queue reports success.

Consider returning a boolean or rethrowing, so resources/js/file-uploader.js can mark the batch as degraded.

375-421: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

notify counts entries from earlier batches.

close is the only place that clears queue. A second drop while the dialog is open appends to the same queue. finish then compares this.failed.length against this.queue.length, which still holds the completed entries of the previous batch. The partial-failure message reports a total that includes files the user already saw as finished.

Consider tracking the batch boundary, or removing completed entries before the next enqueue appends.

Inline comments:
In `@resources/js/file-uploader.js`:
- Around line 314-320: Update uploadSizeLimit so the result of
call('getUploadSizeLimit', serverUuid) is cached only when it is non-null;
failed lookups must not create a sizeLimits entry, allowing later calls to retry
and preserving size validation.

In `@resources/views/livewire/file-upload-manager.blade.php`:
- Line 110: Assign each queued file a unique identifier when entries are created
in the enqueue logic of file-uploader.js, then update the x-for key in the
file-upload template to use that identifier instead of the name/path/size
concatenation.
- Around line 6-16: Update the upload message configuration in fileUploader so
uploadFailed uses the existing server/file.actions.upload.error translation,
while leaving failed mapped to server/file.actions.upload.failed for the plural
upload failure case.

Apply the same fix in `@resources/views/livewire/file-upload-manager.blade.php`
around lines 53 - 55: Covers the hardcoded progress separator.

Comment thread resources/views/livewire/file-upload-manager.blade.php Outdated
- uploadSizeLimit cached a null returned by a failed Livewire lookup, and the
  `in` guard then treated it as resolved, so every later upload for that server
  skipped the size check for the lifetime of the component
- finish() reported over the whole queue, and since a batch ending in failure
  leaves its rows on screen for a later drop to append to, the earlier files
  were written to the activity log a second time and counted again in the
  partial-failure notification, so entries now carry a reported flag and a
  retried entry clears it
- queue rows were keyed on name plus path plus size, which collides when the
  same file is queued twice, so entries carry an id and the x-for keys on it
- the progress counter hardcoded the English separator, it now uses a
  server/file.actions.upload.progress string
- the per-file error used the plural upload.failed message, it now uses
  upload.error
