# Active Context
## Current Status: DNS Update Cursor Position Fix - COMPLETED! 🎉
## Current Status: Advanced Feature Implementation - PRODUCTION READY! 🎉
**Last Updated:** 2025-01-18 14:24 CET
**Last Updated:** 2025-01-18 16:06 CET
## Recent Achievement
Successfully fixed the cursor position reset issue during DNS updates! When DNS names are updated (either all entries with Shift+R or a specific entry with 'r'), the cursor now maintains its current position instead of jumping to the top of the datatable.
## Current Achievement Status
The hosts TUI application has reached **production maturity** with comprehensive advanced features implemented! The project now includes DNS resolution, import/export capabilities, and advanced filtering systems.
### Problem Solved
Previously, both DNS update operations would reset the cursor to the top of the datatable after completing:
- **Bulk DNS refresh (Shift+R):** Would lose cursor position when all DNS entries were updated
- **Single DNS update ('r'):** Would lose cursor position when updating the selected entry
### Major Features Successfully Implemented
### Technical Solution
Applied the same cursor position preservation pattern used in sorting operations to both DNS update methods:
#### 1. DNS Resolution System ✅ COMPLETE
- **Full DNS Service**: Complete async DNS resolution with timeout handling and batch processing
- **DNS Status Tracking**: Comprehensive status enumeration (NOT_RESOLVED, RESOLVING, RESOLVED, RESOLUTION_FAILED, IP_MISMATCH, IP_MATCH)
- **Single and Batch Resolution**: Both individual entry updates ('r' key) and bulk refresh (Shift+R)
- **DNS Integration**: Complete integration with HostEntry model including dns_name, resolved_ip, and last_resolved fields
- **Error Handling**: Robust error handling with detailed user feedback and timeout management
**Pattern Applied:**
1. **Remember current position:** Store the currently selected entry before DNS update
2. **Perform operation:** Execute DNS resolution and table refresh
3. **Restore position:** Use `restore_cursor_position()` to return cursor to the same entry
#### 2. Import/Export System ✅ COMPLETE
- **Multi-Format Support**: Complete support for hosts, JSON, and CSV formats
- **Validation and Error Handling**: Comprehensive validation with detailed error reporting and warnings
- **DNS Field Preservation**: Proper handling of DNS-specific fields during import/export operations
- **Format Detection**: Intelligent file format detection based on extension and content
- **Metadata Handling**: Rich metadata in JSON exports including timestamps and version information
**Files Modified:**
- `src/hosts/tui/app.py` - Both `action_refresh_dns()` and `action_update_single_dns()` methods
#### 3. Advanced Filtering System ✅ COMPLETE
- **Multi-Criteria Filtering**: Status-based, DNS-type, resolution-status, and search-based filtering
- **Filter Presets**: 8 default presets including "All Entries", "Active Only", "DNS Mismatches", etc.
- **Custom Preset Management**: Save, load, and delete custom filter configurations
- **Search Functionality**: Comprehensive search in hostnames, comments, and IP addresses with case sensitivity options
- **Real-Time Statistics**: Entry count statistics by category for filtered results
**Code Changes:**
### Recent DNS Cursor Position Achievement
Successfully implemented cursor position preservation during DNS operations:
- **Bulk DNS refresh (Shift+R)**: Maintains cursor position when all DNS entries are updated
- **Single DNS update ('r')**: Maintains cursor position when updating the selected entry
- **Consistent Pattern**: Applied the same cursor restoration pattern used in sorting operations
## System Architecture Status
- **DNS Resolution Service:** Complete async DNS service with single/batch resolution, timeout handling, and status tracking
- **Import/Export System:** Multi-format support (hosts, JSON, CSV) with comprehensive validation and error handling
- **Advanced Filtering:** Full filtering system with presets, multi-criteria filtering, and search capabilities
- **TUI Integration:** Professional interface with modal dialogs and consistent user experience
- **Data Models:** Enhanced with DNS fields, validation, and comprehensive state management
- **Test Coverage:** Exceptional test coverage with 301/302 tests passing (99.7% success rate)
## Technical Implementation Details
### DNS Resolution System Architecture
```python
# Added to both DNS update methods:
# Remember the currently selected entry before DNS update
current_entry = None
if self.hosts_file.entries and self.selected_entry_index < len(self.hosts_file.entries):
current_entry = self.hosts_file.entries[self.selected_entry_index]
# Complete async DNS service
class DNSService:
async def resolve_entry_async(hostname: str) -> DNSResolution
async def refresh_entry(hostname: str) -> DNSResolution
async def refresh_all_entries(hostnames: List[str]) -> List[DNSResolution]
# After DNS resolution and UI update:
self.table_handler.populate_entries_table()
self.table_handler.restore_cursor_position(current_entry) # ← This was missing!
self.details_handler.update_entry_details()
# DNS status tracking with comprehensive enumeration
@dataclass
class DNSResolutionStatus(Enum):
NOT_RESOLVED, RESOLVING, RESOLVED, RESOLUTION_FAILED, IP_MISMATCH, IP_MATCH
# Rich DNS resolution results
@dataclass
class DNSResolution:
hostname: str, resolved_ip: Optional[str], status: DNSResolutionStatus
resolved_at: datetime, error_message: Optional[str]
```
### User Experience Impact
- **Before Fix:** DNS updates would always reset cursor to top of table, disrupting user workflow
- **After Fix:** Cursor stays on the same entry after DNS updates, maintaining user context
- **Consistency:** DNS updates now behave like sorting operations in terms of cursor preservation
### Testing Results
- **Total Tests:** 302 tests
- **Passing:** 301 tests (99.7% success rate)
- **DNS Functionality:** All DNS-related tests passing
- **No Regressions:** Implementation doesn't break any existing functionality
## Previous Achievement: Single DNS Update Feature Added
Successfully added a new single DNS update feature to the hosts TUI application! Users can now press 'r' to update the DNS resolution for just the currently selected entry, providing more granular control over DNS updates.
### Single DNS Update Feature Implementation
Added manual single DNS entry update functionality with key binding "r":
**Key Features:**
- **Single Entry Focus:** Updates only the currently selected entry instead of all DNS entries
- **Smart Validation:** Checks if the selected entry has a DNS name before attempting resolution
- **User Feedback:** Provides clear status messages for success, failure, and validation errors
- **Consistent Behavior:** Uses the same DNS resolution logic as the bulk refresh (Shift+R)
- **Cursor Position Preservation:** Maintains cursor position during updates
**Technical Implementation:**
- Added `Binding("r", "update_single_dns", "Update DNS", show=False, id="left:update_single_dns")` to keybindings
- Implemented `action_update_single_dns()` method in `src/hosts/tui/app.py`
- Follows established patterns from `action_refresh_dns()` for consistency
- Properly updates both `ip_address` and `resolved_ip` fields to ensure hosts file gets updated
- Saves changes automatically after successful DNS resolution
- Preserves cursor position using the same pattern as sorting operations
**User Experience:**
- **Before:** Users had to refresh all DNS entries at once (potentially slow with many entries)
- **After:** Users can quickly update individual entries as needed
- **Validation:** Clear error message if selected entry has no DNS name: "❌ Selected entry has no DNS name to resolve"
- **Progress:** Shows "🔄 Resolving DNS for {dns_name}..." during resolution
- **Results:** Success shows "✅ DNS updated: {dns_name} → {resolved_ip}" or detailed error messages
- **Cursor Position:** Stays in place during updates, maintaining user workflow
### Previous Achievement: DNS Resolution Bug Fixed
Successfully identified and fixed a critical DNS resolution bug in the hosts TUI application! The DNS resolution functionality was working, but entries were not being updated properly in the hosts file.
### Problem Analysis
The issue was in the `action_refresh_dns()` method in `src/hosts/tui/app.py`. When DNS resolution completed successfully, the method was only updating the `resolved_ip` field but **not** the `ip_address` field that actually gets written to the hosts file.
**Root Cause:**
### Import/Export System Architecture
```python
# BROKEN CODE (only updated resolved_ip)
if resolution.is_success():
entry.resolved_ip = resolution.resolved_ip # ← Only this field was updated
resolved_count += 1
# Multi-format import/export service
class ImportExportService:
def export_hosts_format(hosts_file: HostsFile, path: Path) -> ExportResult
def export_json_format(hosts_file: HostsFile, path: Path) -> ExportResult
def export_csv_format(hosts_file: HostsFile, path: Path) -> ExportResult
def import_hosts_format(path: Path) -> ImportResult
def import_json_format(path: Path) -> ImportResult
def import_csv_format(path: Path) -> ImportResult
def detect_file_format(path: Path) -> Optional[ImportFormat]
def validate_export_path(path: Path, format: ExportFormat) -> List[str]
# Comprehensive result tracking
@dataclass
class ImportResult:
success: bool, entries: List[HostEntry], errors: List[str]
warnings: List[str], total_processed: int, successfully_imported: int
```
**VS. Working Code in `_resolve_new_dns_entry()`:**
### Advanced Filtering System Architecture
```python
# WORKING CODE (updated both fields)
if resolution.is_success():
hosts_entry.ip_address = resolution.resolved_ip # ← This gets written to hosts file
hosts_entry.resolved_ip = resolution.resolved_ip # ← This tracks resolved value
# Comprehensive filtering capabilities
class EntryFilter:
def apply_filters(entries: List[HostEntry], options: FilterOptions) -> List[HostEntry]
def filter_by_status(entries: List[HostEntry], options: FilterOptions) -> List[HostEntry]
def filter_by_dns_type(entries: List[HostEntry], options: FilterOptions) -> List[HostEntry]
def filter_by_resolution_status(entries: List[HostEntry], options: FilterOptions) -> List[HostEntry]
def filter_by_search(entries: List[HostEntry], options: FilterOptions) -> List[HostEntry]
# Rich filter configuration
@dataclass
class FilterOptions:
# Status filtering: show_active, show_inactive, active_only, inactive_only
# DNS type filtering: show_dns_entries, show_ip_entries, dns_only, ip_only
# Resolution filtering: show_resolved, show_unresolved, mismatch_only
# Search filtering: search_term, search_in_hostnames, search_in_comments, search_in_ips
```
### Solution Implemented
Fixed the `action_refresh_dns()` method to update both critical fields:
```python
if resolution.is_success():
# Update both resolved_ip and ip_address for the hosts file
entry.ip_address = resolution.resolved_ip # ← Now gets written to hosts file!
entry.resolved_ip = resolution.resolved_ip # ← Tracks resolved value
resolved_count += 1
```
### Technical Details
- **File Modified:** `src/hosts/tui/app.py`
- **Method Fixed:** `action_refresh_dns()` (lines ~672-676)
- **Root Issue:** Missing `entry.ip_address` assignment
- **Impact:** DNS resolution now properly updates hosts file entries
- **Test Results:** 27/27 DNS tests passing, 299/301 total tests passing
### User Experience Impact
- **Before Fix:** DNS resolution appeared to work but entries remained unchanged in hosts file
- **After Fix:** DNS resolution properly updates both the resolved IP tracking and the actual hosts file content
- **Functionality:** Manual DNS refresh (likely Ctrl+R or similar) now works as expected
