This is equivalent to adding the same field name "" for multiple
prefixes in the Xapian query parser, but we have to explicitely
construct the resulting query.
The many tests potentially overkill, but they could catch typos in the
prefixes table. As a simplifying assumption, for now we assume a
single argument to the wildcard operator, as this matches the Xapian
semantics. The name 'starts-with' is chosen to emphasize the supported
case of wildcards in currrent (1.4.x) Xapian.
We use "boolean" to describe fields that should generate terms
literally without stemming or phrase splitting. This terminology
might not be ideal but it is already enshrined in
notmuch-search-terms(7).
Anything that is quoted or not purely word characters is considered a
phrase. Phrases are not stemmed, because the stems do not have
positional information in the database. It is less efficient to scan
the term twice, but it avoids a second pass to add prefixes, so maybe
it balances out. In any case, it seems unlikely query parsing is very
often a bottleneck.
All operations and (Xapian) fields will eventually have an entry in
the prefixes table. The flags field is just a placeholder for now, but
will eventually distinguish between various kinds of prefixes.
There is not much of a parser here yet, but it already does some
useful error reporting. Most functionality sketched in the
documentation is not implemented yet; detailed documentation will
follow with the implementation.
The configure part is essentially the same as the other checks using
pkg-config. Since the optional inclusion of this feature changes what
options are available to the user, include it in the "built_with"
pseudo-configuration keys.
It turns out that now that we pass an open database into the
subcommands, it is easy to check any requested uuid against the
database at the same time as we process the other shared
arguments. This results in overall less boilerplate code, as well as
making a CLI scope function and variable file scope in notmuch.c.
There are at least 3 bugs present.
1) notmuch-show-insert-part-message/rfc822 assumes that message/rfc822
parts will have a ":content" property, but that turns out not to be
the case.
2) something deep in gnus wants gnus-newsgroup-charset, but that is
defined in gnus-sum, which is not loaded by default.
3) If gnus-sum is loaded, then the display of the message/rfc822 part
succeeds, but the buffer gets put into gnus-article-mode, which means
that, inter alia, notmuch text properties and keybindings get wiped.
When using notmuch-reply and guessing the From: address from
Delivered-To headers, I had the wrong address chosen today. This was
because the messages from the notmuch list contain these headers in this
order:
Delivered-To: hannu.hartikainen@gmail.com
...
Delivered-To: hannu@hrtk.in
In my .notmuch-config I have the following configuration:
primary_email=hannu@hrtk.inother_email=hannu.hartikainen@gmail.com;...
Before this change, notmuch-reply would guess From: @gmail.com because
that is the first Delivered-To header present. After the change, the
primary address is chosen as I would expect.
Add a known broken subtest for guessing From: correctly when there are
multiple Delivered-To: headers. The address configured as primary_email
should get picked.
This is a bit of a cheat, since the format does not actually
change. On the other hand it is fairly common to do something like
this to shared libary SONAMEs when the ABI changes in some subtle way.
It does rely on the format-version argument being early enough on the
command line to generate a sensible error message.
This is more robust against crashes when the expected output is also
generated by notmuch. In the case where the expected output is
explicit, it seems like overkill.
A common bug in tests is that the code used to generate the EXPECTED
file fails, generating no output. When the code generating the OUTPUT
file fails in the same way, the test passes, even though there is a
failure being hidden. Add a new test function that guards against
this.
We need to special case the config section "built_with" because it is
not (currently) handled by the library. This seems consist with the
other sub-sub-commands 'list' and 'set'.
This highlights a bug reported by several users, including
Mohsin Kaleem [1].
The inconsistent use of test_begin_subtest_known_broken is because
some of these tests pass even though the database cannot be
located. This problem is left for a future commit.

Test numbers are a concise way to communicate about tests and to remeber
them. Currently, there is one pait of duplicates:
T590-libconfig.sh
T590-thread-breakage.sh
Renumber the latter one to 592 since this keeps the alphabetic order and
leaves room in between.

This is more efficient than notmuch-show-only-matching-messages, since
we do not parse the potentially large thread structure to find a
single message.
This is only a partial fix for notmuch-tree view, because displaying
the thread structure in the tree-mode window still crashes on long
threads. It is however enough to make unthreaded view handle long
threads.
This change addresses two known issues with large sets of changes to
the database. The first is that as reported by Steven Allen [1],
notmuch commits are not "flushed" when they complete, which means that
if there is an open transaction when the database closes (or e.g. the
program crashes) then all changes since the last commit will be
discarded (nothing is irrecoverably lost for "notmuch new", as the
indexing process just restarts next time it is run). This does not
really "fix" the issue reported in [1]; that seems rather difficult
given how transactions work in Xapian. On the other hand, with the
default settings, this should mean one only loses less than a minutes
worth of work. The second issue is the occasionally reported "storm"
of disk writes when notmuch finishes. I don't yet have a test for
this, but I think committing as we go should reduce the amount of work
when finalizing the database.

When the certificate that signs a message is known to be valid, GMime
is capable of reporting on the e-mail address embedded in the
certificate.
We pass this information along to the caller of "notmuch show", as
often only the e-mail address of the certificate has actually been
checked/verified.
Furthermore, signature verification should probably at some point
compare the e-mail address of the caller against the sender address of
the message itself. Having to parse what gmime thinks is a "userid"
to extract an e-mail address seems clunky and unnecessary if gmime
already thinks it knows what the e-mail address is.

This is a fix for the test failures reported by Dan Čermák [1].
It is more robust to check for the prerequisite inside the function
that uses it, rather than in every test file that calls the function.

notmuch-test will now call aggregate-results.sh with file list
that it compiles based on the test ran, and aggregate-results
will report failure is any of the test files are missing.
With this notmuch-test no longer has to exit in non-parallel
run if some test fail to write its report file -- so it works
as parallel tests in this sense.
Changed test_done() in test-lib.sh write report file in one write(2),
so there is (even) less chance it being partially written. Also,
now it writes 'total' last and aggregate-results.sh expects this
line to exist in all report files for reporting to be successful.
Added 'set -eu' to notmuch-test and modified code to work with
these settings. That makes it harder to get mistakes slipped
into committed code.
Gmane web interface is long gone, remove it. Make MARC the new
default. Update LKML to Lore, where it already redirects anyway. Also
add Notmuch web archive.
Sourcing test-lib.sh will cd to TMP_DIRECTORY, so
relative path in $0 will not work in previous version
. $(dirname "$0")/test-lib-emacs.sh
Now individual test scripts -- e.g. ./test/T310-emacs.sh
will work.
Prior to 9ad19e4454 there was an unhandled Xapian exception when
reindexing after a large number of deletes. This test was used for
bisection, and will subsequently serve as a regression test.
say_color() used to call (builtin) printf (and tput(1) to stdout)
several times, which caused attempts to write messages with color
to have partial content (e.g. escape sequences) often intermixed
with other tests when parallel tests were run.
Now, with all output collected, then written out using one
printf, all strings with color print out correctly
((at least short) write(2)'s appear to write out "atomically").
While at it, used only one tput(1) execution to determine whether
color output works, and made bold/colors/sgr0 to tput(1) their
values once per test.
