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.
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.

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.
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 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.

notmuch_passwd_sanitize() in test-lib.sh is too generic, it cannot
work in many cases...
The more specific version _libconfig_sanitize() replaces it in
T590-libconfig.sh and the code that uses it is modified to output
the keys (ascending numbers printed in hex) so the sanitizer knows
what to sanitize in which lines...
"@" + fqdn -> "@FQDN" replacement is used as fqdn could
-- in theory -- be substring of 'USERNAME'.
'user -> 'USER_FULL_NAME replacement to work in cases where user
is empty -- as only first ' is replaced that works as expected.
In addition to ".(none)" now also ".localdomain" is filtered from
USERNAME@FQDN.
/dev/fd/{n} is not defined in posix, but it is portable enough
(if it weren't it is easy to fix -- now code looks clearer).
Although this default worked for "notmuch config get", it didn't work
most other places. Restore the previous functionality, with the
wrinkle that XDG locations will shadow $HOME/mail if they exist.
This fixes a bug reported by Jack Kamm in id:87eeefdc8b.fsf@gmail.com
The layer of shims here seems a bit wasteful compared to just calling
the corresponding string map functions directly, but it allows control
over the API (calling with notmuch_database_t *) and flexibility for
future changes.
Like the hook directory, we primarily need a way to communicate this
directory between various components, but we may as well let the user
configure it.
Most of the diff is generalizing choose_hook_dir to work for both
backup and hook directories.
This changes some error reporting, either intentionally by reporting
the highest level missing directory, or by side effect from looking in
XDG locations when given null database location.
Introduce a new configuration value for the mail root, and use it to
locate mail messages in preference to the database.path (which
previously implied the mail messages were also in this location.
Initially only a subset of the CLI is tested in a split
configuration. Further changes will be needed for the remainder of the
CLI to work in split configurations.
The hook directory configuration needs to be kept in synch with the
other configuration information, so add scaffolding to support this at
database opening time.
By using an enum we can have better error detection than copy pasting
key strings around.
The question of what layer this belongs in is a bit
tricky. Historically most of the keys are defined by the CLI. On the
other hand features like excludes are supported in the
library/bindings, and it makes sense to configure them from the
library as well.
The somewhat long prefix for notmuch_config_t is to avoid collisions
with the existing usage in notmuch-client.h.
Fill in the remainder of the documented functionality for
n_d_open_with_config with respect to config file location. Similar
searching default locations of the database file still needs to be
added.
The trick of having a common header file doesn't work to share between
test scripts, so make an include file in the test directory.
The use of #include <notmuch-test.h> looks slightly pretentious, but
the include file is not actually in the current (temporary) directory.
Since xapian provides the ability to restrict the iterator to a given
prefix, we expose this ability to the user. Otherwise we mimic the other
iterator interfances in notmuch (e.g. tags.c).
This is a thin wrapper around the Xapian metadata API. The job of this
layer is to keep the config key value pairs from colliding with other
metadata by transparently prefixing the keys, along with the usual glue
to provide a C interface.
The split of _get_config into two functions is to allow returning of the
return value with different memory ownership semantics.
