[Card] Add Scryfall Tagger tag search and filtering (#7337)
* [Card] Import Scryfall Tagger tags from MTGJson

* [Card] Search cards by Scryfall Tagger tag

* [Card] Add a Tag attribute to the card filter tree

* [Card] Add a Tags filter to the visual card database

* [Oracle] Add a script to inject Scryfall tags into AllPrintings

* [Card] Elide long tag lists in the card info and drop the Scryfall label from the tag filter tooltip

* [Oracle] Load card tags from a tag database during import

Add a TagDatabase loader that understands Scryfall's Oracle Tags bulk data and user-supplied tag files (tag objects, flat oracle-id or name maps, optional manifest, JSON or JSONL, gzip/xz/zip). The importer joins the slugs on identifiers.scryfallOracleId while the identifiers are still available, falls back to the card name, and unions them with any tags the source already provides. Split-card faces merge through the existing tag union path.

This replaces oracle/scripts/inject_scryfall_tags.py, which patched AllPrintings.json before import. Loading during import keeps tags on by default for every source and lets users pair Oracle with any tag database.

* [Oracle] Add a tag data step to the import wizard

Insert a Tags page between set selection and the import. It downloads Scryfall's Oracle Tags by default (or a user-supplied file/URL), can include parent tags, and persists tagsenabled, tagssource and tagsparents in oracle.ini. The page loads asynchronously and soft-fails in background mode, so a tag download or parse error never aborts the card database import.

* [Help] Describe tag search without naming Scryfall

Tags can come from Scryfall's Oracle Tags or any user-supplied tag database, so the search help should not claim a single source.

* [Oracle] Fix Scryfall tag requests and the retry loop

api.scryfall.com rejects requests that lack an Accept header with HTTP 400, and QNetworkAccessManager does not add one. Send application/json for the bulk metadata request and */* for the tag file, and surface the URL plus Scryfall's JSON error body when a request fails.

A failed tag load used to call next(), which re-ran validatePage() and started the same failing download again, trapping the user in an error loop. Stay on the page instead, drop the unusable database, and tell the user they can retry, change the source, or untick the option to import without tags. Also explain parent tags inline with a real Scryfall hierarchy example.

* [Oracle] Give the parent-tag explainer room to breathe

The wrapped explainer sat flush under the checkbox with no separation from the status label, which made the paragraph look cramped. Indent it under the checkbox and add a little vertical margin.

* [Oracle] Stop the parent-tag explainer from being clipped

A word-wrapped QLabel reports a one-line sizeHint, so the wizard page reserved too little height and the explanation lost its top and bottom lines. Pin the vertical size policy to Minimum on the explainer and on the status label, so the wrapped height becomes part of the page minimum. Verified with a layout probe: the label went from 28 px tall (needed 56) to its full height.

Cockatrice

Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform application for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents users from manipulating the game for unfair advantage. The client also provides a single-player mode, which allows users to brew while offline.

This project uses C++ and the Qt libraries.

Code

To commit code to the project, please review our Contribution Guidelines first.
We maintain two tags for contributors to easier find issues to potentially work on:

  • Good first issue
    Issues tagged in this way provide a simple way to get started. They don't require much experience to be worked on.
  • Help wanted
    This tag is used for issues that we are looking for somebody to pick up. Often this is for feature suggestions we support, but don't have the time to work on ourselves.

For both tags, we're willing to provide help to contributors in showing them where and how they can make changes, as well as code reviews for submitted changes.
We'll happily advice on how best to implement a feature, or we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along - put a note on an issue you want to discuss more on!

You can also have a look at our Todo List in our Code Documentation or search the repo for \todo comments.

Documentation CI Docs

There are various places where useful information for different needs are maintained:

Cockatrice tries to use the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide to ensure consistent documentation.
We encourage everybody to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.

Translation Transifex Project

Cockatrice uses Transifex to manage translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice and Oracle to your language and just adjust single wordings right from within your browser by visiting our Transifex project page. The Webatrice web client manages its own translations in its repo.

Check out our Translator FAQ for more information about getting involved, and join a group of hundreds of others!

Build CI Desktop CI Docker

Dependencies: (for minimum versions search our CMake file)

Oracle can optionally use some packages to load compressed card files:


Basic compilation steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then

  • Create a Cockatrice installation inside the release folder:
    make install
    
  • Or make an installation package specific to your system:
    make package
    

Note

Detailed compiling instructions can be found in the Cockatrice wiki at Compiling Cockatrice


The following flags (with their non-default values) can be passed to cmake:

Flag Description
-DWITH_SERVER=1 Build Servatrice server
-DWITH_CLIENT=0 Don't build Cockatrice client
-DWITH_ORACLE=0 Don't build Oracle card database tool
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug Compile in debug mode
Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings
-DWARNING_AS_ERROR=0 Don't treat compilation warnings as errors in debug mode
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source code
Note: make clean will remove the .ts files
-DTEST=1 Enable regression tests
Note: make test to run tests, googletest will be downloaded if not available

Tip

Build code documentation (Doxygen) according to our configuration into /docs-output:

doxygen Doxyfile

Run

Cockatrice is the game client
Oracle fetches card data
Servatrice is the server

Docker

You can build an image & deploy a Servatrice (Cockatrice server) container using Docker and our Dockerfile yourself.

For more details, look into our wiki section on Setting up Servatrice.
You'll also find more hints on our pre-build image there, or the docker-compose file which will configure and run both a MySQL server and Servatrice.
