It seems that between version 1.26 and 1.27 of gnu tar, directories to
be extracted read with --files-from are no longer recursively extacted.
This patch puts them on the command line instead.
The checksum file is used by the test infrastructure to verify the downloaded
test database is the one we had in mind. Note that this test is
rather strict, and the the checksum file needs to be recommitted when
the database is regenerated.
add a pattern .gitignore to ignore the actual databases
Add script to generate notmuch test databases using specified versions
of notmuch. This is useful for generating material for database
upgrade tests.
This reuses the test infrastructure to have a sandbox environment for
notmuch new etc.
Test the upgrade from probabilistic to boolean folder: terms, and
addition of path: terms.
The test depends on the pre-built test corpus and database tarball and
checksum file being in place. If it's not, the test is skipped. The
mechanism to fetch the test database will be added later.
At the time of writing, a working test database and checksum file is
available at
http://notmuchmail.org/releases/test-databases/
It has been noted that some non-GNU environments make lack
sha256sum. We leave this portability issue for a followup patch.
In xapian terms, convert folder: prefix from probabilistic to boolean
prefix, matching the paths, relative from the maildir root, of the
message files, ignoring the maildir new and cur leaf directories.
folder:foo matches all message files in foo, foo/new, and foo/cur.
folder:foo/new does *not* match message files in foo/new.
folder:"" matches all message files in the top level maildir and its
new and cur subdirectories.
This change constitutes a database change: bump the database version
and add database upgrade support for folder: terms. The upgrade also
adds path: terms.
Finally, fix the folder search test for literal folder: search, as
some of the folder: matching capabilities are lost in the
probabilistic to boolean prefix change.
The path: prefix is a literal boolean prefix matching the paths,
relative from the maildir root, of the message files.
path:foo matches all message files in foo (but not in foo/new or
foo/cur).
path:foo/new matches all message files in foo/new.
path:"" matches all message files in the top level maildir.
path:foo/** matches all message files in foo and recursively in all
subdirectories of foo.
path:** matches all message files recursively, i.e. all messages.
We will need this for improved folder search tests, but having some
folders should exercise our code paths better anyway.
Modify the relevant test accordingly to make it pass.
This reorganization triggers a bug in the test suite, namely that it
expects the output of --output=files to be in a certain order. So we
add the fix for that into the same commit.
This mainly involves sorting, although the case --duplicate=$n
requires more subtlety.
The python script mkdocdeps.py is used to import the list of man pages
from the sphinx configuration to make.
This will delete the (release only) target update-man-versions. This
will be replaced in a followup commit.
This is the output from sphinx-quickstart, massaged a bit, along with
our existing man pages converted to rst.
A skeleton notmuch-emacs manual is also included. It is not suitable
for end user use yet.
Sanitize tabs and newlines to spaces rather than question marks in
--output=summary --format=text output.
This will also hide any difference in unfolding a header that has been
folded with a tab. Our own header parser replaces tabs with spaces,
while gmime would retain the tab.
The printf builtin "%(fmt)T" specifier (which allows time values
to use strftime-like formatting) is introduced in bash 4.2.
Trying to execute this in pre-4.2 bash will fail -- and if this
happens execute the fallback piece of perl code to do the same thing.
The test names assigned to NOTMUCH_SKIP_TESTS variable can now be given
with or without the Tddd- prefix for tester convenience:
The test name without Tddd -prefix stays constant even when test filenames
are renumbered.
The test name with Tddd -prefix is printed out when tests run.
According the semantics of make, the expansion of $(dir) in recipes
uses dynamic scope, i.e. the value at the time the recipe is run. This
means if test/Makefile.local is not the last sub-makefile included,
all heck breaks loose.
At some point we decided to only install bash completion for notmuch
if the bash-completion file was present. Add the corresponding debian
build dependency.
Previously, we stripped the "Tnnn-" part from the test name when
printing its description at the beginning of each test. However, this
makes it difficult to find the source script for a test (e.g., when a
test fails). Put this prefix back.
Currently notmuch-show-pipe-message runs the command in the working
directory of the *notmuch-pipe* buffer if it exists, and the current
buffer's working directory (which is inherited to the new
*notmuch-pipe* buffer) otherwise. This is all very surprising to the
user, and it's difficult to know or change where the command will be
run.
Always use the current show buffer's working directory for piping. The
user can check that with M-x pwd and change it with M-x cd. This is
consistent with notmuch-show-pipe-part.
`notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' is over-engineered and often wrong.
It attempts to detect when all identities have the same name and
specialize the prompt to just the email address part. However, to do
this it uses `mail-extract-address-components', which is meant for
displaying email addresses, not general-purpose parsing, and hence
performs many canonicalizations that can interfere with this use. For
example, configuring notmuch-identities to ("Austin
<austin@example.com>"), will cause `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to
lose the name part entirely and return " <austin@example.com>".
This patch rewrites `notmuch-mua-prompt-for-sender' to simply prompt
for a full identity when notmuch-identities is configured, or to
prompt for a sender address when it isn't.
The original code also did several strange things, like using `eval'
and specifying that this function was interactive. As a side-effect,
this patch fixes these problems. And it adds a docstring.
Since a newline starts a new query in batch mode, this causes
mysterious crashes in the emacs interface if saved searches contain
newlines. See the discussion at
id:87wqhcxb5j.fsf@maritornes.cs.unb.ca
In general newlines seem to be just whitespace to the xapian query
parser, so this should be mainly harmless.
The example was originally intended to have a literal backslash in it, but
'\ ' is interpreted by nroff as a non-breaking space.
It doesn't make much difference to the example, but the non-breaking
space triggers a bug in doclifter.
When "notmuch config" is called with the name of an empty or
unconfigured setting, it prints nothing (not even a new line).
Previously, `notmuch-config-get' assumed it would always print a
newline. As a result, when `notmuch-config-get' was called with the
name of an empty of unconfigured setting, it would attempt to
(substring "" 0 -1) to strip the newline, which would fail with a
(args-out-of-range "" 0 -1) exception.
Fix this by only stripping the newline if there actually is one.
Previously, we used `message-forward' to build forwarded messages, but
this function is simply too high-level to be a good fit for some of
what we do.
First, since `message-forward' builds a full forward message buffer
given the message to forward, we have to duplicate much of the logic
in `notmuch-mua-mail' to patch the notmuch-y things into the built
buffer.
Second, `message-forward' constructs the From header from
user-full-name and user-mail-address. As a result, if we prompt the
user for an identity, we have to parse it into name and address
components, just to have it put back together by `message-forward'.
This process is not entirely loss-less because
`mail-extract-address-components' does a lot of canonicalization
(since it's intended for displaying addresses, not for parsing them).
To fix these problems, don't use `message-forward' at all.
`message-forward' itself is basically just a call to `message-mail'
and `message-forward-make-body'. Do this ourselves, but call
`notmuch-mua-mail' instead of `message-mail' so we can directly build
a notmuch-y message and control the From header.
This also fixes a bug that was a direct consequence of our use of
`mail-extract-address-components': if the user chose an identity that
had no name part (or the name part matched the mailbox), we would bind
user-full-name to nil, which would cause an exception in the bowels of
message-mode because user-full-name is expected to always be a string
(even if it's just "").
Python dict() object does not have __values__() function which
OrderedDict().values() (the stub provided in nmbug-status) could call
to provide ordered list of values. By renaming this thinko to
values() will make our stub work as expected -- dict items listed out
in order those were added to the dictionary.
Previously, we updated .eldeps only if the file contents actually
needed to change. This was done to avoid unnecessary make restarts
(if the .eldeps rule changes the mtime of .eldeps, make has to restart
to collect the new dependencies). However, this meant that, after a
modification to any .el file that did not change dependencies, .eldeps
would always be out of date, so every make invocation would run the
.eldeps rule, which is both expensive because it starts up Emacs and
noisy. This was true even when there was nothing to do. E.g.,
$ make clean && make
...
$ touch emacs/notmuch-lib.el && make
...
$ make
Use "make V=1" to see the verbose compile lines.
EMACS emacs/.eldeps
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
$ make
Use "make V=1" to see the verbose compile lines.
EMACS emacs/.eldeps
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
Fix this by replacing .eldeps with two files with identical content.
One tracks the mtime of the dependency information and triggers the
Emacs call to rebuild dependencies only when it may be necessary. The
other tracks the content only; this rule over-triggers in the same way
the old rule did, but this rule is cheap and quiet.
