Closes #1347.

Description of Changes

Until now a mass command could only target devices by organization, group or
location. This adds the second entry point of the workflow: the devices are
picked one by one on the device changelist and handed over to the same two step
wizard.

1. Action on the device changelist

New action on the ModelAdmin registered for Device:

Execute mass command
  • shown to the users who can add mass commands (connection.add_batchcommand),
    so the action follows the permissions of the wizard it opens
  • a selection spanning more than one organization is refused with an error
    message on the changelist, the same way the Change group action does; the
    wording matches the model and the REST API:
    All devices must belong to the same organization, unless it is a system wide
    command.
  • registered on DeviceAdmin itself, so it is available in the admin of the
    other modules too (eg. openwisp-monitoring)

2. Execute page (step 1)

The action renders the existing execute page, so both entry points share one
view, one form and one template:

type            Command type (required)
input           Rendered by execute-command.js according to the type
label           Short label to identify the mass command (required)
notes           Optional notes
organization    Prefilled with the organization of the selection, disabled
devices         Hidden field carrying the selected device UUIDs
  • the selection travels in the form and not in the session, so it cannot outlive
    the wizard it belongs to, and two tabs cannot overwrite each other
  • organization is prefilled and disabled, group and location are not
    rendered at all: the targets are already known, so the fields would only be
    decoration
  • the number of selected devices is shown as an admin message right above the
    Targets heading
  • the devices are scoped again on every render: a non superuser only keeps the
    devices of the organizations they manage, and a device deleted in the meantime
    invalidates the form instead of being silently dropped

3. Confirm page (step 2)

The selection is stored in the session together with the rest of the wizard, and
the device table of the confirm page is built from those UUIDs instead of
BatchCommand.dry_run(). Everything else is unchanged: the table is still the
changelist of the currently registered DeviceAdmin, devices can still be
excluded one by one, and the summary of the targets shows N selected devices.

4. Flow

device changelist → "Execute mass command" action
                          │
                          ▼
execute_mass_command() → refuses a selection of multiple organizations
                          │
                          ▼
BatchCommandExecutionForm(device_ids=selection) → execute page
                          │
                          ▼
POST → stored in session (device_ids included) → redirect (PRG)
                          │
                          ▼
GET /admin/connection/batchcommand/confirm/
                          │
                          ▼
POST → BatchCommand.execute(devices=selection)
                          │
                          ▼
launch_batch_command.delay(batch.pk)                ← Celery task
                          │
                          ▼
change page updates table, counters and paginator in real time

Learning: Preserve the organization-scoping and authorization invariants for batch commands: derive a missing batch organization from its group or location, validate attached devices against that organization, allow organization-less batches only for superusers, and prevent non-superusers from accessing shared batches or batches with a null organization_id in admin and consumer code.

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.

1212-1214: The named time zone dependency is still present.

A previous review already reported this. The test path rules require tests to avoid specific time zones. Replace TIME_ZONE="Pacific/Auckland" with a fixed-offset timezone.override and keep an explicit translation override.

As per path instructions: "Flag tests that depend on arbitrary sleeps, uncontrolled system time, specific timezones ...".

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The device changelist now supports mass-command execution for selected devices. Selection scope, organization validation, confirmation, and execution preserve tenant boundaries. Batch models record skipped devices and status transitions. The admin results page supports filtering, pagination, and live WebSocket updates. Documentation and automated tests cover the workflow, permissions, organization constraints, skipped devices, and sensitive-input cleanup.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c45a5

Using Back during selected-device execution can broaden a command to the organization, so this should be corrected before merge. Some new tests also remain order- or timing-dependent.

Explanation

The PR includes changes that exceed the coding scope of issue #1347. The issue requests an entry point from the device changelist into an existing mass-command workflow. This PR also adds a full batch-command results and live-update system, including BatchCommandConsumer, websocket handlers, batch-command.js, skipped-device model and execution changes, broad API behavior changes, and extensive REST and WebSocket documentation. The summary also identifies new workflow templates and unrelated CI trigger changes. These changes are not required to add the device-list action or to pass selected devices through the existing workflow.

Resolution

Limit this PR to the device changelist action, selected-device propagation, required permission and multi-tenant validation, and the related execute or confirmation integration and tests. Move the batch-command workflow, websocket, API, documentation, and CI changes to the PR or issue that owns those objectives.

585-587: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve device_ids when the user returns to the execute page.

If a selected-device wizard uses ?back, this constructor omits wizard["device_ids"]. The hidden devices field then becomes empty and the target fields become enabled. A subsequent submit can run the command on all devices in the organization instead of only the selected devices.

Pass device_ids=wizard.get("device_ids") to BatchCommandExecutionForm. Add a regression test for selected-device back navigation.

Proposed fix
                 form = BatchCommandExecutionForm(
-                    initial=self._wizard_initial(wizard), request=request
+                    initial=self._wizard_initial(wizard),
+                    request=request,
+                    device_ids=wizard.get("device_ids"),
                 )

585-587: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve device_ids when rebuilding the execute form.

When the confirmation page’s Back link calls execute_command_view, _wizard_initial(wizard) omits device_ids. The resubmitted form then stores an empty device selection, so _resolve_target_queryset() can resolve every device in the prefilled organization. Pass the wizard’s device_ids when constructing BatchCommandExecutionForm.

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.

Dependency Version Mismatch In Installation

Hello @dee077,
(Analysis for commit fd67637)

  • Test Failure / Build Error: The CI build failed with a pip dependency resolution error because openwisp-controller (version 1.3a0) depends on openwisp-utils 1.4a0, while django-loci (version 1.3.0.post1) requires openwisp-utils~=1.3.0.
  • Fix: Update the version constraints in setup.py or requirements files to ensure compatible versions of openwisp-utils and django-loci are installed together.

Keep the documented same-organization rule.

The REST serializer does not expose system_wide, so the endpoint uses BatchCommand.execute() with system_wide=False. The existing API test confirms that a superuser request with devices from different organizations returns 400. The superuser exception applies to organization-less batch-wide selection, not mixed explicit devices. Both documentation references are correct.

Pass the wizard’s device_ids to the Back form.

The Back path rebuilds BatchCommandExecutionForm without its device_ids argument. The hidden selection is therefore empty when the form is resubmitted. Confirmation then uses BatchCommand.dry_run() and can target every device in the selected organization. Pass device_ids=wizard.get("device_ids") to preserve the selection.

Replace the fixed sleep with a deterministic wait.

sleep(0.3) makes the test time-dependent. If the redirect is slower on a loaded CI runner, the test navigates away too early and the assertion at Line 100 fails. Wait for the observable result instead.

♻️ Proposed change
-        # Wait for the redirect triggered by command submission to complete.
-        # Navigating away immediately can race with the redirect
-        sleep(0.3)
+        # the command row is created by the submission: waiting for it
+        # removes the race with the redirect

- Line 340: Update the queryset construction in CommandInline to use explicit
joins for both batch_command and device, replacing the bare select_related()
combined with prefetch_related("batch_command"). Preserve the existing filtering
and ordering while ensuring both relations are loaded through select_related in
the same query.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/tests/test_selenium.py`:
- Line 176: Restore the shared CreateConnectionsMixin.ssh_server.port to its
original value during class teardown after assigning cls.mock_ssh_server.port in
setUpClass, ensuring later test classes do not retain the closed mock server’s
port.

In `@openwisp_controller/connection/tests/test_selenium.py`:
- Around line 92-94: Replace the fixed sleep in the command-submission test with
a deterministic wait for the redirect’s observable completion or resulting page
state before navigating or asserting. Use the existing Selenium wait mechanism
and preserve the current assertion flow.

Learning: In reviews for the openwisp/openwisp-controller repository, do not propose changes based on Ruff warnings. The project does not use Ruff as its linter; ignore Ruff-related suggestions and follow the repository’s established linting and configuration rules.

Learning: Preserve the organization-scoping and authorization invariants for batch commands: derive a missing batch organization from its group or location, validate attached devices against that organization, allow organization-less batches only for superusers, and prevent non-superusers from accessing shared batches or batches with a null organization_id in admin and consumer code.

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.

1212-1214: The named time zone dependency is still present.

A previous review already reported this. The test path rules require tests to avoid specific time zones. Replace TIME_ZONE="Pacific/Auckland" with a fixed-offset timezone.override and keep an explicit translation override.

As per path instructions: "Flag tests that depend on arbitrary sleeps, uncontrolled system time, specific timezones ...".

The batch-command route uses Django’s <uuid:pk> converter. A non-UUID value does not reach BatchCommandConsumer, so the claimed malformed-pk query exception is not reachable through this route.

Replace the fixed sleep with a deterministic wait.

sleep(0.3) makes the test time-dependent. If the redirect is slower on a loaded CI runner, the test navigates away too early and the assertion at Line 100 fails. Wait for the observable result instead.

♻️ Proposed change
-        # Wait for the redirect triggered by command submission to complete.
-        # Navigating away immediately can race with the redirect
-        sleep(0.3)
+        # the command row is created by the submission: waiting for it
+        # removes the race with the redirect
+        WebDriverWait(self.web_driver, 10).until(
+            lambda driver: Command.objects.count() == 1

Restore ssh_server.port after the class.

cls.ssh_server resolves to the inner ssh_server class defined on CreateConnectionsMixin, which every test class using that mixin shares. This assignment mutates that shared object and is never restored, so test classes that run later in the same process see the port of an SSH server that is already closed. The failure depends on execution order.

🛠️ Proposed fix
         cls.addClassCleanup(cls.mock_ssh_server.__exit__)
+        original_port = cls.ssh_server.port
+        cls.addClassCleanup(setattr, cls.ssh_server, "port", original_port)
         cls.ssh_server.port = cls.mock_ssh_server.port

Use explicit select_related joins in CommandInline.

When recent commands exist, CommandInline renders up to 30 Command rows and accesses batch_command. prefetch_related("batch_command") can add a second query. Bare select_related() also loads the non-null device relation, so select_related("batch_command") alone is not a complete replacement. Preserve both joins:

♻️ Proposed change
-            qs = qs.select_related().prefetch_related("batch_command")
+            qs = qs.select_related("device", "batch_command")

1212-1214: The named time zone dependency is still present.

A previous review already reported this. The test path rules require tests to avoid specific time zones. Replace TIME_ZONE="Pacific/Auckland" with a fixed-offset timezone.override and keep an explicit translation override.

[P1] Preserve the selected devices when going Back The selected IDs are captured here, but _wizard_initial() does not restore device_ids when the user clicks Back from the confirmation page. The form is therefore rebuilt without the explicit selection, and submitting edited command details resolves every device in the saved organization. Restore the saved IDs and keep the target fields locked. Please add a regression test that selects a subset, goes to confirmation, goes Back, edits the command, and verifies that the original subset remains selected.

[P2] Build the saved selection in bounded chunks This materializes every selected UUID before the form is rendered, and the later confirmation path materializes the selection again before dispatch. A large fleet selected through the changelist can exhaust the request worker's memory or time out before the background task is queued. Stream the selection in a stable database order and let the model snapshot the authorized queryset in bounded chunks.

@coderabbitai why are you not enforcing the following rule in AGENTS.md?

Leave one blank line before each with self.subTest(...) statement only when a test method contains multiple such statements. Do not add a blank line for a single subTest statement inside a loop.

@pandafy, you are correct. The rule applies to TestBatchCommandAdmin.test_device_action_selection because the method contains multiple with self.subTest(...) statements.

I missed this repository-specific formatting requirement during the review. The second and later with self.subTest(...) blocks need one preceding blank line. The exception for a single subTest inside a loop does not apply here.

Isn't this check prone to race-condition?

Also, why didn't we use select_across to check if the user has selected all objects? Did you check how Django determines if the querset needs to contain all objects present in the database, or all objects rendered based on the filtering?
