I just wasted far too much time looking for a bug that wasn't actually
there only because I hadn't recompiled before running the test
suite. Now we can take advantage of actual dependency information to
force a rebuild for "make test".
When constructing a thread, we usually run a nested query to find all
messages in the thread that match the original search string. However,
we need to have special-case handling of an original search string of
"*" now that that is a supported means of specifying all messages.
The special-case ends up bein quite simple---we do less work, (just
skipping the nested search since we know that all messages must
match). I had been wanting to write this identical code to more
efficiently handle "notmuch search thread:<foo>" which was previously
running two identical searches. So that case is now more efficient as
well.
This feature was added recently and should have gotten a new test at
the time.
As this test demonstrates, the code is broken, ("notmuch search '*'
returns bogus dates of the Unix epoch for any threads where the
term "and" does not appear in any messages).
Using a date in the current year makes the test suite fragile since
the search output will include a date of "January 05" for now, but
will start doing "2010-01-05" in the future.
The filenames aren't predictable (including the current directory) nor
stable from one run to the next (including the PID). This makes it
hard to predict the output from a search command that returns such a
message (such as "*").
The original goal was simply to ensure that each generated message was
distinguishable somehow. So just use the message counter instead.
The old execute_expecting function was doing far too much for its own
good. One of the worst aspects of this was that it introduced
shell-quoting challengers where the caller could not easily control
the precise invocation of the command to be executed.
I personally couldn't find a way to test "notmuch search '*'" without
the shell expanding * against files in the current directory, or
having bogus quotation marks appearing in the search string,
(defeating the recognition of "*" as a special search term).
Hopefully this aspect of the test suite will be much easier to maintain now.
One of these is a bad bug I noticed this morning, (archiving messages I had
never read when going through a search of "tag:inbox and tag:to-me" and
hitting space bar).
The other ideas came from recent conversations with Dirk and Eric.
Recent coding around the "*" feature suggests some improvements that
we could make, (some of which might push us into writing a custom
query parser rather than using the one that exists in Xapian).
The recent fix to properly decode encoded headers made the expected
output of "notmuch reply" differ by a single space, (previously, there
were two spaces before the References: value and now there is just
one).
Fix the test suite so that these are all noted as correct results
again.
Apparently the OS X linker can't resolve symbols when linking a
program (notmuch) against a library (libnotmuch) when the library
depends on another library (libgmime) that the program doesn't depend
on directly.
For this case, we need to link the program directly against both
libraries, but we don't want to do this on Linux, where the linker can
do this on its own and the explicit, unneeded link would cause
problems.
This encodes the library version into the library, where the linking
binary can pick it up, and the linker can even enforce mismatches in
the minor release, (such as linking a binary against version 1.2 and
then attempting to run it against version 1.1).
I'm not sure which system Aaron used, but on the machine I have access
to, (Darwin 8.11.0), the -shared and -dylib_install_name options are
not recognized. Instead I use -dynamic_lib and -install_name as
documented here:
http://www.finkproject.org/doc/porting/shared.php
This patch adds a configure check for OS X (actually Darwin),
and sets up the Makefiles to build a proper shared library on
that platform.

The recent change to include sub-directory Makefile.local files
before the top-level Makefile.local means that we need to include
the Makefile.config before those. So move it up from Makefile.local
to Makefile.
Must set extra_c(xx)flags before including subdir Makefile.local's,
so that there is a blank slate that the subdirs can add on to.
Must include subdir Makefile.local's before global one, otherwise
the compat sources are not added to the list of those to be
compiled.

Since the binaries contain C++ code, it is necessary to use the C++
linker, or errors result on some platforms (OS X).

Clean up code duplication, as per Carl's suggestion, by making
notmuch-search-{add/remove}-tag-thread a special case of the -region
commands, where the region in question is between (point) and (point).
There was a bug in notmuch-search-{add,remove}-tag-region, which would
not behave correctly if the region went beyond the last message. Now,
instead of simply iterating to the last line of the region, these
functions will iterate to the minimum of the last line of the region
and the last possible line, i.e.
(- (line-number-at-pos (point-max)) 2)
Tested-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org> Note that the old, buggy
behavior included infinite loops of emacs lisp code, so the new
behavior is significantly better than that.
When headers contain non-ASCII characters, they are encoded according
to rfc2047. Nomtuch reply command emits the headers in the encoded
form, which makes them hard to read by humans who compose the reply.
For example instead of "Subject: Re: Rozlučka" one currently sees
"Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-2?q?Rozlu=E8ka?=".
This patch adds a new GMime filter which is used to decode headers to
UTF-8 and uses this filter when notmuch reply outputs headers.

Put single-quotes around the argument of the `show --entire-thread' command
in notmuch-show. This change should have no effect on normal usage.
However, it allows us to use the notmuch.el client with a remote notmuch
binary and database over ssh (by, e.g., setting `notmuch-command' to a
simple shell script). Without the quotes, ssh will not send the command
properly.
One very simple example script is as follows. (Note that it requires
keypair login to the ssh server.)
#!/bin/sh
SSH_BIN="/path/to/local/ssh"
NOTMUCH_HOST="my.remote.server"
NOTMUCH_REMOTE_PATH="/path/to/remote/notmuch"
$SSH_BIN $NOTMUCH_HOST $NOTMUCH_REMOTE_PATH $@
notmuch previously unconditionally checked mime parts for various
properties, but not for NULL, which is the case if libgmime encounters
an empty mime part.
Upon encounter of an empty mime part, the following is printed to
stderr (the second line due to my patch):
(process:17197): gmime-CRITICAL **: g_mime_message_get_mime_part: assertion `GMIME_IS_MESSAGE (message)' failed
Warning: Not indexing empty mime part.
This is probably a bug that should get addressed in libgmime, but for
not, my patch is an acceptable workaround.

The original proposal for having different open modes used the name
WRITABLE. I didn't like that name, (easy to misspell as WRITEABLE even
for native English speakers). So we renamed it to READ_WRITE
immediately, but apparently some of the documentation held the old
name for a while.
The recent fix to handle utf8 in the JSON output is the kind of bug
I'd never like to see again, (so that I'd like the test suite to be
helping us track that).
The current code in json_quote_str() only accepts strict printable ASCII
code points (i.e. 32-127), all other code points are dropped from the
JSON output. The code is attempting to drop only non-printable ASCII
characters, but doing a signed comparison of the byte value is also
dropping characters with values >= 128.
This patch uses an unsigned comparison to accept code points 32-255.

Previously, we were only adding the reference terms for cases where
the referenced message did not yet exist in the database. For thread
presentation, it's useful to have the connection information provided
by the references, even when the messages are present. So add this
term unconditionally.
This function was recently modified, (to include a metadata lookup for
a message's thread ID before looking for parent/child thread IDs), but
the documentation wasn't updated. Fix that.
There are two primary cases in this function, (the message exists in
the database or it does not). Previously the code for these two cases
was split and intermingled with goto-spaghetti connections.
This allows us to thread messages even when we receive them out of
order, or never receive the root.
The thread ids for messages that aren't present but are referred to are
stored as metadata in the database and then retrieved if we ever get
that message.
When determining the thread id for a message we also check for this
metadata so that we can thread descendants of a message together before
we receive it.
Edited by Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Split this portion of the
commit from the earlier-applied portion adding test cases.
These new tests demonstrate a bug as follows:
Multiple messages are added to the database
All of these message references a common parent
The parent message does not exist in the databas
In this scenario, the messages will not be recognized as belonging to
the same thread. We consider this a bug, and the new tests treat this
as a failure.
Edited by Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Split these tests into their
own commit (before the fix of the bug). This lets me see the actual
failure in the test suite, before the fix is applied. Also fix the
alignment of new messages from test suite, (so that the PASS portions
all line up---which is important while we're still manually verifying
test-suite results).
I often have several versions of notmuch compiled and it would be very
helpful to be able to distinguish between them. Git has a very nice
feature to make intermediate numbering automatic and unambiguous so
let's use it here.
For tagged versions, the version is the name of the tag, for
intermediate versions, the unique ID of the commit is appended to the
tag name.
When notmuch is compiled from a release tarball, there is no git
repository and therefore the tarball contains a special file 'version',
which contains the version of release tarball.
To create a new release one has to run 'make release VERSION=X.Y'.
From both the implementation and from the documentation. This is
handled generically in the library for all search-based commands,
so count doesn't need special treatment.
This seems like a generally useful thing to support, (but the previous
support through an empty string was not convenient for some users,
(such as the command-line client).
If no parameters are given to notmuch-count, or just '' or '*' are
given, return the total number of messages in the database.
