Some MUA's like mutt show the difference between "new" emails living in maildir
directory new/, and "old" emails living in maildir directory cur/. However
notmuch tag unconditionally moves selected messages from new/ to cur/, even if
no maildir synchronized tag is changed.
While maildir specification forbids messages with tags living in new/, there is
no need to move messages to cur/ when no maildir synchronized tag is changed.
Thus notmuch can remain transparent with respect to other MUA's.

The syntax --output=filename is a smaller change than deleting the
output argument completely, and conceivably useful e.g. when running
notmuch under a debugger.
Format canonicalization of JSON output is no longer necessary, so
remove it. Value canonicalization (e.g., normalizing thread IDs) is
still necessary, so all of the sanitization functions remain.
Previously, we used a variety of ad-hoc canonicalizations for JSON
output in the test suite, but were ultimately very sensitive to JSON
irrelevancies such as whitespace. This introduces a new test
comparison function, test_expect_equal_json, that first pretty-prints
*both* the actual and expected JSON and the compares the result.
The current implementation of this simply uses Python's json.tool to
perform pretty-printing (with a fallback to the identity function if
parsing fails). However, since the interface it introduces is
semantically high-level, we could swap in other mechanisms in the
future, such as another pretty-printer or something that does not
re-order object keys (if we decide that we care about that).
In general, this patch does not remove the existing ad-hoc
canonicalization because it does no harm. We do have to remove the
newline-after-comma rule from notmuch_json_show_sanitize and
filter_show_json because it results in invalid JSON that cannot be
pretty-printed.
Most of this patch simply replaces test_expect_equal and
test_expect_equal_file with test_expect_equal_json. It changes the
expected JSON in a few places where sanitizers had placed newlines
after commas inside strings.
Previously, notmuch new only synchronized maildir flags to tags for
files with a maildir "info" part. Since messages in new/ don't have
an info part, notmuch would ignore them for flag-to-tag
synchronization.
This patch makes notmuch consider messages in new/ to be legitimate
maildir messages that simply have no maildir flags set. The most
visible effect of this is that such messages now automatically get the
unread tag.
Currently, notmuch new only synchronizes maildir flags to tags for
files that have an "info" part. However, in maildir, new mail doesn't
gain the info part until it moves from new/ to cur/. Hence, even
though mail in new/ doesn't have an info part, it is still a maildir
message and thus has maildir flags (though none of them set).
The most visible effect of not synchronizing maildir flags for
messages in new/ is that newly delivered messages don't get the unread
tag (unless it is assigned by some other mechanism, like new.tags).
This patch does *not* modify the test for messages in cur/ that do not
have an "info" part. Unlike a message in new/, a message in cur/
without an info part is no longer a maildir message, and thus
shouldn't be subject to maildir flag synchronization.
notmuch show outputs the exclude flag so many tests using notmuch
show failed. This commit adds "excluded:0" or "excluded: false" to
the expected outputs. After this commit there should be no failing
tests.
This has three ramifications:
- Blank To and Cc headers are no longer output for messages.
- Dates are now canonicalized for messages, which means they always
have a day of the week and GMT is printed +0000 (never -0000)
- Invalid From message headers are handled slightly differently, since
they get parsed by GMime now instead of notmuch.
January 5, 2001 was a Tuesday, not a Friday. Jameson fixed this exact
problem for the multipart test in ec2b0a98cc, but not for
generate_message itself.
As Jameson pointed out in ec2b0a98cc, if we want to test date parsing,
we should do it separately.
Various typo fixes in comments within the source code.

Edited-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org> Restricted to just
source-code comments, (and fixed fix of "descriptios" to "descriptors"
rather than "descriptions").
Change #!/bin/bash at start of tests to "#!/usr/bin/env bash". That way
systems running on bash < 4 can prepend bash >= 4 to path before
running the tests.
This is to prevent notmuch from destroying any information the user
has encoded as flags in the maildir filename. Tests are also added to
the test suite to verify the documented behavior.
Some people use notmuch with non-maildir files, (for example, email
messages in MH format, or else cool things like using sluk[*] to suck
down feeds into a format that notmuch can index).
To better support uses like that, don't do any renaming for files that
are not in a directory named either "new" or "cur".

There's nothing in the current API documentation that would suggest
the behavior being tested here. Attempt to implement this could have
some nasty side effects, (such as notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
implicitly calling notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags and maybe
even opening up some bad looping possibilities).
Much better to stick with what we have documented, which we believe will
actually be useful, (and easy enough to comprehend).
These needed to be changed to be brought up to the current state of
the maildir-sync tests. This includes style changes, but also the
elimination of any assumption about pre-existing message filenames,
(such as msg-003) which actually don't exist anymore.
Also, the known broken tests are changed to emit FAIL rather than
BROKEN simply to make them easier to fix, (so that they print the
current problems rather than hiding them).
Finally, an additional test is added to ensure that when a duplicate
file is added without flags, it doesn't invalidate flags from other
duplicates, (instead the flags are effectively merged).
Add maildir synchronization tests for multiple messages with the same
message-id. As this is not yet implemented in notmuch, some of these
teste are marked as BROKEN.
I use $(< ) operator to avoid fiddling with stripped trailing newlines
from test results which happens when output+=$(command) is used.
This change reworks these tests in several ways:
1. Bring tests into "new" test style preferring test_expect_equal over
test_expect_success in almost all cases.
2. Don't emit test results for intermediate items not actually being
tested, (things like "no new messages", "search for message",
etc.). Those things are already covered by existing tests such as
"basic" or "search" and only serve to obscure what's actually being
tested.
3. Change sense of the test showing failure to rename a file from
"new" to "cur" when "cur" doesn't exist.
In this case, notmuch should detect that this is not a maildir and
should not attempt to do any renaming of the file.
4. Extend dump/restore test to also exercise addition of tag, not just
removal.
Both items #3 and #4 above show shortcomings in the current
implementation. These are currently resulting in test results of FAIL
and indicate bugs that need to be fixed.
