Builds not requiring sudo access run in a container, which will have
better performance and less overhead on the Travis infrastructure.
Use the apt addon to install dependencies instead of explicit apt-get
commands.
On some system configurations, setting a breakpoint on the "add_file"
function then issuing "continue" in gdb causes the debugger to
seemingly jump over the add_file invocation. This results in a test
failure, as the "Handle files vanishing between scandir and add_file"
subtest expects add_file to be called and fail due to the vanishing
file. The compiler optimization level also plays a role - the problem
can be reproduced with CFLAGS having -O2 but not -Og.
This problem was observed manifesting as a test failure on Travis CI
configured with "dist: trusty" and "sudo: false". It was not
reproducible on a local Docker image of Travis' runtime environment,
so Travis' virtualization infrastructure likely plays a role as well.
* T050-new.sh: Breakpoint notmuch_database_add_message instead of
add_file to the same effect, and avoid bad gdb behaviour on Travis
CI.
Amended by db:
s/notmuch_database_add_message/notmuch_database_index_file/
Somehow the wrapper function doesn't work as a breakpoint; perhaps due
to inlining.
Travis now offers Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS) VMs as test runners, which
is gradually becoming the default. We can opt in to using Trusty now
so that we no longer need to manually update zlib to a newer version.
Download the test message database used for the T530-upgrade.sh test.
If the additional load on the web server is undesired, Travis can be
instructed to cache the file.
Fix the following cppcheck errors:
notmuch-count.c:207: error: Resource leak: input
notmuch-tag.c:238: error: Resource leak: input
We know that the program is shutting down here, but it does no harm to
clean up a bit.
The advantage of having a target as opposed to running cppcheck by
hand
- reuse list of source files
- output errors in a format parsable, e.g. by emacs
- returns exit code 1 on any error, for possibly use in other
targets.
For the moment, leave this as an optional target. If desired, it can
be added to e.g. the release targets in the same way as the test
target.
Using two levels of directory for the stamps is arguably
overengineering, but it doesn't really cost anything, and leaves open
the possibility of putting other kinds of stamp files there.
This only checks "new" source files (w.r.t. their last check). A future target
(cppcheck-all ?) could blow away the stamp files first.
Sometimes using $@ as the target in the quiet build lines can be
confusing. Accept an optional second parameter in the quiet variable
function to specify the target.
We reorder reading maildir flags to avoid overwriting 'new.tags'. The
inverted status of 'unread' means the maildir flag needs to be checked
a second time.
I backpedalled here on the idea of supporting 'new.tags' without
'unread' in the presence of maildir syncing. For files in 'new/', it
seems quite natural to tag them as 'unread'.
I considered a higher level interface where the caller passes a tag
name rather than a flag character, but the role of the "unread" tag is
particularly confusing with such an interface.
json.tool does not sort or otherwise normalize the order of JSON keys
in its output, which can result in test failures on some test systems.
Instead, use a one-line Python script passed to the interpreter
directly on its command line. Use sort_keys=True for json.dump to
ensure the key order is normalized. The script works with both Python
2 and 3.
* test/test-lib.sh: Update test_expect_equal_json.
There are at least three places in notmuch that can trigger an
indexing action:
* notmuch new
* notmuch insert
* notmuch reindex
I have plans to add some indexing options (e.g. indexing the cleartext
of encrypted parts, external filters, automated property injection)
that should properly be available in all places where indexing
happens.
I also want those indexing options to be exposed by (and constrained
by) the libnotmuch C API.
This isn't yet an API break because we've never made a release with
notmuch_param_t.
These indexing options are relevant in the listed places (and in the
libnotmuch analogues), but they aren't relevant in the other kinds of
functionality that notmuch offers (e.g. dump/restore, tagging, search,
show, reply).
So i think a generic "param" object isn't well-suited for this case.
In particular:
* a param object sounds like it could contain parameters for some
other (non-indexing) operation. This sounds confusing -- why would
i pass non-indexing parameters to a function that only does
indexing?
* bremner suggests online a generic param object would actually be
passed as a list of param objects, argv-style. In this case (at
least in the obvious argv implementation), the params might be some
sort of generic string. This introduces a problem where the API of
the library doesn't grow as new options are added, which means that
when code outside the library tries to use a feature, it first has
to test for it, and have code to handle it not being available.
The indexopts approach proposed here instead makes it clear at
compile time and at dynamic link time that there is an explicit
dependency on that feature, which allows automated tools to keep
track of what's needed and keeps the actual code simple.
My proposal adds the notmuch_indexopts_t as an opaque struct, so that
we can extend the list of options without causing ABI breakage.
The cost of this proposal appears to be that the "boilerplate" API
increases a little bit, with a generic constructor and destructor
function for the indexopts struct.
More patches will follow that make use of this indexopts approach.
We need a way to pass parameters to the indexing functionality on the
first index, not just on reindexing. The obvious place is in
notmuch_database_add_message. But since modifying the argument list
would break both API and ABI, we needed a new name.
I considered notmuch_database_add_message_with_params(), but the
functionality we're talking about doesn't always add a message. It
tries to index a specific file, possibly adding a message, but
possibly doing other things, like adding terms to an existing message,
or failing to deal with message objects entirely (e.g. because the
file didn't contain a message).
So i chose the function name notmuch_database_index_file.
I confess i'm a little concerned about confusing future notmuch
developers with the new name, since we already have a private
_notmuch_message_index_file function, and the two do rather different
things. But i think the added clarity for people linking against the
future libnotmuch and the capacity for using index parameters makes
this a worthwhile tradeoff. (that said, if anyone has another name
that they strongly prefer, i'd be happy to go with it)
This changeset also adjusts the tests so that we test whether the new,
preferred function returns bad values (since the deprecated function
just calls the new one).
We can keep the deprecated n_d_add_message function around as long as
we like, but at the next place where we're forced to break API or ABI
we can probably choose to drop the name relatively safely.
NOTE: there is probably more cleanup to do in the ruby and go bindings
to complete the deprecation directly. I don't know those languages
well enough to attempt a fix; i don't know how to test them; and i
don't know the culture around those languages about API additions or
deprecations.
This patch fixes the 'Deleted first duplicate file does not stop
notmuch show from working' test.
If a message to be shown has several duplicated files, and for some
reason the first file in the list is not available anymore, notmuch
will exit with an error.
This is clearly a problem in the database, but we are not going to let
this problem be a show-stopper. Let's walk through the list, and show
the first existing file.

This patch fixes the "Insert message into folder with trailing /"
test. The problem was insufficient path canonization.
From database's point of view, "Sent" and "Sent/" are different
folders. If user runs (note the last '/'):
notmuch insert --folder=maildir/Sent/ < test.msg
notmuch will create an extra XDIRECTORY record for the folder
'Sent/'. This means that database will have _TWO_ records for _ONE_
physical folder: 'Sent' and 'Sent/'. However, the 'notmuch new'
command will update only records related to the first one (the correct
one).
Now, if user moved the email file (e.g. from 'Sent/new' to
'Sent/cur'), 'notmuch new' will add a record about the new file, but
will not delete the old record.

Stripping trailing character is not that uncommon
operation. Particularly, the next patch has to perform it as
well. Lets move it to the separate function to avoid code duplication.
Also the new function has a little improvement: if the character to
strip is repeated several times in the end of a string, function
strips them all.

Since we're accumulating the index when we add a new file to the
message, the semantics have slightly changed. This tries to align the
documentation with the actual functionality.
make-process is a new function introduced in Emacs 25, which provides
greater control over process creation. Crucially, it allows
separately redirecting stderr directly to a buffer, which allows us to
avoid needing to use the shell to redirect to a temporary file in
order to correctly distinguish stdout and stderr.
* notmuch-lib.el: Use make-process when it is available; fall back to
the previous method when not.
Load subprocess error output to a string in the callers, and propagate
the error messages as a string parameter instead of a path to file
names.
Required to be able to avoid using temporary files for subprocess
error output.
* notmuch-lib.el: Update notmuch-check-async-exit-status,
notmuch-check-exit-status: accept an err parameter instead of
err-file; shift the responsibility of loading error messages from
files up the call stack.
By default, Sphinx tries to pre-process text through SmartyPants,
which attempts to convert ASCII quotes and dashes to Unicode
characters. Unfortunately, this mangles technical text such as command
lines. For instance, this excerpt from notmuch-tag.rst:
**notmuch** **tag** **--batch** [--input=<*filename*>]
got turned into:
notmuch tag –batch [–input=<filename>]
That's an en-dash and an em-dash respectively.
Not only are these characters visually confusing and could easily be
mistaken for a single dash, copying and pasting such command lines
into a terminal is doomed to result in incomprehensible error
messages.
* doc/conf.py: Disable SmartyPants.
The queries "" and "*" are special cased in the notmuch library to
match all messages, but only if they're the entire query. They can't
be combined with other queries, such as "* AND foo", in which case
they "leak" down to the Xapian query parser.
Notmuch show and tree buffers inadvertently combine the thread query
with said special queries, causing incorrect collapsing of
messages. Handle the special queries specially. We already do a
similar thing in notmuch-search-filter.
From database's point of view, "Drafts" and "Drafts/" are different
folders

A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the
path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files
only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory.
Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent
accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly
improve the performance of "git status".
971cdc72cd renamed corpus.mail to
corpora.mail. Although 971cdc72cd
updated some of the remaining corpus.mail references, two remained,
causing the test suite to leave behind an unignored corpora.mail
directory.
Recently a user reported a crash in notmuch new, but because of
missing error reporting, all they could say was "A Xapian exception
occured". This commit adds the extra information available about
the error message in the exception.
