As of notmuch 0.34.2 [1], the python-cffi bindings make available the
configuration from both a config file and the database when accessing
Database.config like a dictionary. It is therefore confusing that the
iterator operations only work on the configuration information stored
in the database.

This changes makes the sexp query parser consistent with the infix one
in ignoring trailing '/'. Here we do a bit better and ignore any
number of trailing '/'.
This is mainly to make sure we get trailing / removal correct. Also
add regression test for path: in the infix parser matching the
existing one for folder:.
This resolves an old bug reported by David Edmondson in 2014. The fix
is only needed for the "boolean" case, as probabilistic / phrase
searching already ignores punctuation.
This fix is only for the infix (xapian provided) query parser.

This duplicates the bug reported in [1], as well as adding some simple
regression tests for 'path' and 'folder' searches which were
previously missing for sexp syntax.
[1]: id:cunoasuolcv.fsf@gargravarr.hh.sledj.net
In [1], David Edmondson observed that the trailing / added by many
completion mechanisms causes path searches to silently fail. This
test reproduces that bug for both `path:' and `folder:' searches.

It is fragile to encode the generated names into tests, as it makes
tests break when e.g. new tests are added. There is a possibility
that this will hide certain failures; in that case meaningful filenames
should be chosen for the generated messages.
These are loosely modelled on the tests just above for date ranges,
since the error conditions are similar. Some ideas also borrowed from
T570-revision-tracking.
The default argument processing overlaps somewhat with what is already
done in _notmuch_date_strings_to_query, but we can give more specific
error messages for the s-expression context.
The extra generality of _sexp_parse_range will be useful when we
implement additional range prefixes (at least 'lastmod' is needed).
This fixes the bug reported by dkg in [1]. The movement of the call to
n-m-setup-message-for-saving is so the cleanup of Fcc headers happens
in the encoded version (otherwise Fcc headers may be saved to disk).

Based on the method outlined by Daniel Kahn Gillmor in
id:87k1zm225v.fsf@fifthhorseman.net. With a delay of 0.2 seconds the
test becomes flaky on my machine. With a 1 second delay it fails
consistently for more than 1600 iterations.
This matches the heuristic used by "notmuch config set" to decide if
something is a list.
This change fixes the bug reported at [1].

In [1] Ian observed that notmuch setup was inconsistent with notmuch
config set when adding single items, namely adding an unneeded
semi-colon at the end. This test replicates that bug.

Initially only use in notmuch-hello-insert-alltags. This is a more
narrow resolution of [1], which (unlike [2]) does not disable exclude
processing for regular saved searches.

Revert commit 8370e3cfe2, and remark the
corresponding test as broken. Also update the expected output of the
broken test to show excludes active in the user defined saved searches.
Commit [0] left the stemmer object accessible, but did not add
de-allocation code to notmuch_database_destroy. This commit corrects
that oversight.

Gregor Zattler observed that tags could be unintentionally hidden in
the "All tags" view, and Tomi Ollia worked out [2] that the issue was tags
that only occured on excluded messages. This test reproduces that bug.

Although it makes sense for the extra headers to be added to the copy
of the message headers included in the sexp/json, it is a bit
surprising for them to show in the new message constructed for the
reply, especially when, as here, they are always missing/empty.
This is based on a patch from Johan Parin [1], which is in turn
responding to a bug report / feature requiest from Jan Malkhovski.
The update to the structured output documented in schemata is intended
to be upward compatible, so the format version stays the same

Since the bug was first reported in [1], notmuch has gained the
ability to have the database located outside the mail root, hence this
this change differs slightly from Jani's proposed solution [2] in not
using notmuch_database_get_path, but rather the already retrieved
mail_root.

In [1] Rob observed that notmuch new ignored directories called
.notmuch everywhere in the tree, where they should only (and now, with
split configs, at most) be ignored at the top level. Add a test to
demonstrate the problem.
[1]: id:87mwhifu9a.fsf@trouble.defaultvalue.org
If we know the configuration is split, but there is no mail root
defined, this indicates a (lack of) configuration error. Currently
this can only arise in XDG configurations.
If notmuch_database_open_with_config finds a database, but that
database is not in a legacy, non-split configuration, then it
currently incorrectly deduces the mail root and returns SUCCESS. Add
to two tests to demonstrate this bug.
As stressed by the gpg documentation, the non-'with-colons' output
format is subject to change, and indeed it did in 2.3.x (x<=3). This
should make the the test suite more robust against such changes.
If we return regular Message objects, python will try to destroy them,
and the underlying notmuch object, causing e.g. the crash [1].
[1]: id:87sfu6utxg.fsf@tethera.net
This reproduces the bug reported at [1]. The second test hints at the
solution, making reply return OwnedMessage objects.
[1]: id:87sfu6utxg.fsf@tethera.net
It makes perfect sense for users to want to pre-create .notmuch,
e.g. to install hooks, so we should handle the case of a .notmuch
directory without an actual xapian database more gracefully.
`notmuch new' should go ahead and create the xapian database if it is
missing, even in the case where the parent .notmuch (or equivalent)
directory exists.
In [1] Mark Walters reported a problem with messages being removed
from the database when the parent directory was renamed. Jani Nikula
proposed [2] these tests but observed
This test is not suitable for merging since it's not deterministic.
After applying Jani's patch [3], the tests now pass deterministically,
and could usefully act as regression tests.

The remaining problem in this test is fixed upstream in Emacs
28. While most people are using earlier versions of emacs, the test
still provides some documentation of a known bug.
There is a certain amount of boilerplate to pass the call on the
original function, so abstract it out as a C preprocessor macro, plus
some extra includes in notmuch-test.h
Unlike the previous g_key_file_get_value, this version processes
escape codes for whitespace and \. The remaining two broken tests from
the last commit are because "notmuch config get" treats every value as
a list, and thus the previously introduces stripping of leading
whitespace applies.
glib generates the following escape characters with their usual
meanings: \n, \t, \r, and \\, along with \s for _leading_
spaces. Currently notmuch fails to unescape these on reading the
config files. These tests demonstrate this bug; the one new test that
passes is because apparently glib only escapes tabs at the beginning
of a key.
In [1] Ciprian observed that it was easy for users to mistakenly
introduce leading and trailing space to new.tags when editing a
notmuch config file. This commit strips spaces on either side of the
';' delimiter when splitting.
In principle it would be possible to support tags (or other config
values) with leading or trailing spaces by processing '\s' escapes in
the input string. Currently such processing is not done.

Since release 0.32, libnotmuch provides searching for database and
configuration paths. This commit changes the python module notmuch2 to
use those facilities.
This fixes the bug reported in [1], along with a couple of the
deprecation warnings in the python bindings.
Database.default_path is deprecated, since it no longer faithfully
reflects what libnotmuch is doing, and it is also no longer used in
the bindings themselves.
This commit choose the default of config=CONFIG.EMPTY (equivalent to
passing "" to notmuch_database_open_with_config). This makes the
change upward compatible API-wise (at least as far as the test suite
verifies), but changing the default to CONFIG.SEARCH would probably be
more convenient for bindings users.
[1]: id:87h7d4wp6b.fsf@tethera.net
If the user passed a path, and we opened it, then we consider that
definitive definition of "database.path". This makes libnotmuch
respond more gracefully to certain erroneous combinations of
NOTMUCH_CONFIG settings and config file contents.
This is arguably user error: having configuration file with bad
settings in it (and/or having a bad NOTMUCH_CONFIG environment
variable). On the other hand returning a different path than was
actually opened is definitely a bug.
It is confusing to use two different names (sexp vs sexpr) when
compared with the command line option --query=sexp and (furthermore)
singular vs plural when compared with the man page title.
This is a bit different than n_d_{open,create}_with_config, since
there are several non-zero status codes where we do want to return a
non-NULL database structure.
This code previously relied on _finish_open to free the notmuch struct
on errors (except for the case of database == NULL, which was a
potential double free). When we removed those frees from _finish_open,
we introduced a (small) memory leak.
In this commit, fix the memory leak, and harmonize the on-error
behaviour with n_d_open_with_config.
During refactoring for 0.32, the code that set notmuch=NULL on various
errors was moved into _finish_open. This meant that the the code which
relied on that to set *database to NULL on error was no longer
correct. It also introduced a potential double free, since the notmuch
struct was deallocated inside _finish_open (via n_d_destroy).
In this commit we revert to "allocator frees", and leave any cleanup
to the caller of _finish_open. This allows us to get back the
behaviour of setting *database to NULL with a small change. Other
callers of _finish_open will need free notmuch on errors.
The documentation claims that the database will be set to NULL in this
case, but it is currently not happening. Based on a reproducer [1]
from Austin Ray.

As reported in id:87h7pxiek3.fsf@tethera.net, the previous version of
the test is flaky. There is some so-far undebugged interaction between
openssl and gpgsm that causes the keys to fail to import. As a
potential workaround, use the key as exported by gpgsm, and eliminate
openssl from this particular pipeline.
As with notmuch--process-lines, initial purpose is to provide a safe
binding for default-directory. This is enough to make notmuch-hello
robust against non-existent or corrupt values default-directory, but
probably not other views.
Because of the way emacs reports errors, a test form can crash and not
change the main buffer. To work around this, capture both signalled
errors and any other messages.
As discussed in the thread starting at [1], the fully qualified domain
name is a bit tricky to get reproducibly, might reveal information
people prefer to keep private, and somewhat unlikely to provide
reliable mail routing.
The new approach of $current_username@localhost is better for the
first two considerations, and probably at least as good as a test mail
address.

Add the function notmuch-test-result-flags to test-lib.el to avoid
repeating it in 3 T*.sh files.
We have to rewrite _optimize_tag_query here because it is generating
a query string in the infix Xapian syntax. Luckily this is easy to do
with the sexp query syntax.
The change in each case is to call notmuch_query_create_with_syntax,
relying on the already inherited shared options. As a bonus we get
improved error handling from the new query creation API.
The remaining subcommand is 'tag', which is a bit trickier.
Macros implement lazy evaluation and lexical scope. The former is
needed to make certain natural constructs work sensibly (e.g. (tag
,param)) but the latter is mainly future-proofing in case the DSL is
is extended to allow local bindings.
For technical background, see chapters 6 and 17 of [1] (or some other
intermediate programming languages textbook).

It turns out there is not really much code in query-fp.cc useful for
supporting the new syntax. The code we could potentially factor out
amounts to calling notmuch_database_get_config; both the key
construction and the parsing of the results are specific to the query
syntax involved.
This commit does not enable using saved s-expression queries, only
saving and retrieving them from the config file or the database. Use
in queries will be enabled in a following commit.
This provides functionality analogous to query: in the Xapian
QueryParser based parser. Perhaps counterintuitively, the saved
queries currently have to be in the original query syntax (i.e. not
s-expressions).
One subtle aspect is the replacement of _find_prefix with
_notmuch_database_prefix, which understands user headers. Otherwise
the code mainly consists of creating a fake prefix record (since the
user prefixes are not in the prefix table) and error handling.
This is necessary so that programs can take infix syntax queries from
a user and use the sexp query syntax to construct e.g. a refinement of
that query.
At least to the degree that the Xapian QueryParser based parser
also supports them. Support short alias 'rx' as it seems to make more
complex queries nicer to read.
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.
