The JSON format eliminates the complex escaping issues that have
plagued the text search format. This uses the incremental JSON parser
so that, like the text parser, it can output search results
incrementally.
This slows down the parser by about ~4X, but puts us in a good
position to optimize either by improving the JSON parser (evidence
suggests this can reduce the overhead to ~40% over the text format) or
by switching to S-expressions (evidence suggests this will more than
double performance over the text parser). [1]
This also fixes the incremental search parsing test.
This has one minor side-effect on search result formatting.
Previously, the date field was always padded to a fixed width of 12
characters because of how the text parser's regexp was written. The
JSON format doesn't do this. We could pad it out in Emacs before
formatting it, but, since all of the other fields are variable width,
we instead fix notmuch-search-result-format to take the variable-width
field and pad it out. For users who have customized this variable,
we'll mention in the NEWS how to fix this slight format change.

This advises the search process filter to make it process one
character at a time in order to test the pessimal case for incremental
search output parsing.
The text parser fails this test because it gets tricked into thinking
a parenthetical remark in a subject is the tag list.
There didn't seem to be these basic tests for --format=text,
as there are for --format=json. These are just the tests from
the `json' script, with adjusted expected outputs.
Previously, notmuch new only synchronized maildir flags to tags for
files with a maildir "info" part. Since messages in new/ don't have
an info part, notmuch would ignore them for flag-to-tag
synchronization.
This patch makes notmuch consider messages in new/ to be legitimate
maildir messages that simply have no maildir flags set. The most
visible effect of this is that such messages now automatically get the
unread tag.
Currently, notmuch new only synchronizes maildir flags to tags for
files that have an "info" part. However, in maildir, new mail doesn't
gain the info part until it moves from new/ to cur/. Hence, even
though mail in new/ doesn't have an info part, it is still a maildir
message and thus has maildir flags (though none of them set).
The most visible effect of not synchronizing maildir flags for
messages in new/ is that newly delivered messages don't get the unread
tag (unless it is assigned by some other mechanism, like new.tags).
This patch does *not* modify the test for messages in cur/ that do not
have an "info" part. Unlike a message in new/, a message in cur/
without an info part is no longer a maildir message, and thus
shouldn't be subject to maildir flag synchronization.

This moves our logic to get a file's type into one function. This has
several benefits: we can support OSes and file systems that do not
provide dirent.d_type or always return DT_UNKNOWN, complex
symlink-handling logic has been replaced by a simple stat fall-through
in one place, and the error message for un-stat-able file is more
accurate (previously, the error always mentioned directories, even
though a broken symlink is not a directory).
Now that notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename works on read-only
databases, remove the workaround that disabled it on read-write
databases.
This also adds a regression test for find_message_by_filename.
The customization widget referred to a non-existing function
`notmuch-hello-insert-query-list'. The patch changes it to the
correct one - `notmuch-hello-insert-searches'. The relevant test is
fixed now.
The tests use default values from customization widgets to make sure
that these customization widgets work (at least on basic level).
The custom queries section test is currently broken.
The output of the HTML reply test in the emacs suite can vary
depending on which HTML renderers are installed on the machine running
the tests. The renderer that is always available is emacs's builtin
html2text function. In order to get consistency, force the test to use
html2text even if other renderers are available.
Quote non-text parts nicely by displaying them with mm-display-part
before calling message-cite-original to quote them. HTML-only emails
can now be quoted correctly. We re-use some code from notmuch-show
(notmuch-show-mm-display-part-inline), which has been moved to
notmuch-lib.el.
Mark the test for this feature as not broken.
With the latest reply infrastructure, we should be able to nicely
quote HTML-only emails. But currently emacs quotes the raw HTML
instead of parsing it first. This commit adds a test for this case.
This test currently marked as broken.
It has been a long-standing issue that notmuch_database_open doesn't
return any indication of why it failed. This patch changes its
prototype to return a notmuch_status_t and set an out-argument to the
database itself, like other functions that return both a status and an
object.
In the interest of atomicity, this also updates every use in the CLI
so that notmuch still compiles. Since this patch does not update the
bindings, the Python bindings test fails.
Add a command to list all configuration items with their associated
values.
One use is as follows: a MUA may prefer to store data in a central
notmuch configuration file so that the data is accessible across
different machines, e.g. an addressbook. The list command helps
to implement features such as tab completion on the keys.
This patch removes trailing spaces in notmuch-hello view.
A side effect of this change is that tag/query buttons no longer
include a space at the end. This means that pressing RET when the
point is at the first character after the tag/query button no longer
works (note that this is the standard behavior for buttons). We may
change this behavior in the future (without adding trailing spaces
back) if people would find this change inconvenient.
Systematically test the exclude options for search. Also move the
search existing exclude tests into the new test. There is some overlap
between the two sets of tests but many of the existing ones are there
because they triggered bugs in the past so I have kept them to ensure
coverage.
Move the option --no-exclude to the --exclude= scheme. Since there is
no way to flag messages only true and false are implemented. Note
that, for consistency with other commands, this is implemented as a
keyword option rather than a boolean option.
In the new reply code, the References header gets inserted by
message.el using a function called message-shorten-references. Unlike
all the other header-inserting functions, it doesn't put a newline
after the header, causing the next header to end up on the same
line. In our case, this header happened to be User-Agent, so it's hard
to notice. This is probably a bug in message.el, but we need to work
around it.
This fixes the problem by wrapping message-shorten-references in a
function that inserts a newline after if necessary. This should
protect against the message.el bug being fixed in the future.
By default, emacs hides the User-Agent and References headers when
composing mail. This is a good thing for users, but a bad thing for
testing, since we can create ugly or invalid headers and not have it
show up in the tests.
By setting message-hidden-headers to an empty list, we force emacs to
show all the headers, so we can check that they're correct. Users
won't see this, but it will let us catch future bugs.
As a side-effect, this breaks all the reply tests, since there is a
bug with the References and User-Agent headers, fixed in the next commit.
Bug 1: Replying from alternate addresses
----------------------------------------
The reply code was inconsistent in its use of symbols and strings for
header names being passed to message.el functions. This caused the
From header to be lookup up incorrectly, causing an additional From
header to be added with the user's primary address instead of the
correct alternate address.
This is fixed by using symbols everywhere, i.e. never using strings
for header names when interacting with message.el.
This change also removes our use of `mail-header`, since we don't use
it anywhere else, and using assq makes it clear how the header lists
are expected to work.
Bug 2: Duplicate headers in emacs 23.2
--------------------------------------
The message.el code in emacs 23.2 assumes that header names will
always be passed as symbols, so our use of strings caused
problems. The symptom was that on 23.2 (and presumably on earlier
versions) the reply message would end up with two of some headers.
Converting everything to symbols also fixes this issue.
Since the recent reply changes were pushed, there has been a bug that
causes emacs to always reply from the primary address, even if the
JSON or default CLI reply output uses an alternate address.
This adds two tests to the emacs test library based on the two "Reply
form..." tests in the reply test library. One is currently marked
broken.
This adds a lib function to turn a message ID into a properly escaped
message ID query and uses this function wherever we previously
hand-constructed ID queries. Wherever this new function is used,
documentation has been clarified to refer to "id: queries" instead of
"message IDs".
This fixes the broken test introduced by the previous patch.
To simplify code, keep all tagging operations in a single array
instead of separate add and remove arrays. Apply tag changes in the
order specified on the command line, instead of first removing and
then adding the tags.
This results in a minor functional change: If a tag is both added and
removed, the last specified operation is now used. Previously the tag
was always added. Change the relevant test to reflect the new
behaviour.

The current behaviour is that regardless of the order in which the
addition and removal of a tag are specified, the tag is added.

Use the new JSON reply format to create replies in emacs. Quote HTML
parts nicely by using mm-display-part to turn them into displayable
text, then quoting them with message-cite-original. This is very
useful for users who regularly receive HTML-only email.
Use message-mode's message-cite-original function to create the
quoted body for reply messages. In order to make this act like the
existing notmuch defaults, you will need to set the following in
your emacs configuration:
message-citation-line-format "On %a, %d %b %Y, %f wrote:"
message-citation-line-function 'message-insert-formatted-citation-line
The tests have been updated to reflect the (ugly) emacs default.
This new JSON format for replies includes headers generated for a
reply message as well as the headers of the original message. Using
this data, a client can intelligently create a reply. For example, the
emacs client will be able to create replies with quoted HTML parts by
parsing the HTML parts.
This adds three tests for --output=messages searches. One test is for
the case when one exclude tag does not occur in the Xapian
database. This triggers a Xapian bug in some cases and causes the
whole exclusion to fail. The next commit avoids this bug.
The tests for the exclude code in search and count use the line
notmuch config set search.exclude_tags = deleted
which actually sets the exclude tags to be "=" and "deleted". Remove
the "=" from this line.
Before the change, messages generated by generate_message() used "Test
message #N" for default subject where N is the generated messages
counter. Since message subject is commonly present in expected
results, there is a chance of breaking other tests when a new
generate_message() call is added. The patch changes default subject
value for generated messages to subtest name if it is available. If
subtest name is not available (i.e. message is generated during test
initialization), the old default value is used (in this case it is
fine to have the counter in the subject).
Another benefit of this change is a sane default value for subject in
generated messages, which would allow to simplify code like:
test_begin_subtest "test for a cool feature"
add_message [subject]="message for test for a cool feature"
Before the change, the first subtest in raw format tests just
generated messages and checked that they are added successfully. This
is not really a raw format test, it is creating of environment
required for other subtests to run. The patch removes the first
subtest from raw and replaces it with bare add_message calls, similar
to how it is done in other tests.
TODO: we should check that test environment was created successfully.
Currently, many tests do add_message(), notmuch new and other calls
without checking the results. We should come up with a general
solution for this, i.e. if any command during test initialization
fails, all tests should be skipped with appropriate error message.
This is fully compatible for root and leaf parts, but now has proper
support for interior parts. This requires some design decisions that
were guided by what I would want if I were to save a part.
Specifically:
- Leaf parts are printed without headers and with transfer decoding.
This is what makes sense for saving attachments. (Furthermore, the
transfer decoding is necessary since, without the headers, the
caller would not be able to interpret non-transfer-decoded output.)
- Message parts are printed with their message headers, but without
enclosing part headers. This is what makes sense for saving a
message as a whole (which is a message part) and for saving attached
messages. This is symmetric for whole messages and for attached
messages, though we special-case the whole message for performance
reasons (and corner-case correctness reasons: given malformed input,
GMime may not be able to reproduce it from the parsed
representation).
- Multipart parts are printed with their headers and all child parts.
It's not clear what the best thing to do for multipart is, but this
was the most natural to implement and can be justified because such
parts can't be interpreted without their headers.
As an added benefit, we can move the special-case code for part 0 into
the raw formatter.
Previously, there was only one CRLF between the terminating boundary
of the embedded multipart/alternative and the boundary of the
containing multipart. However, according the RFC 1341, 7.2.1:
The boundary must be followed immediately either by another CRLF and
the header fields for the next part, or by two CRLFs, in which case
there are no header fields for the next part
and
The CRLF preceding the encapsulation line is considered part of the
boundary so that it is possible to have a part that does not end
with a CRLF (line break).
Thus, there must be *two* CRLFs between these boundaries: one that
ends the terminating boundary and one that begins the enclosing
boundary.
While GMime accepted the message we had before, it could not produce
such a message.
gmime-2.6 had a bug [1] which made it impossible to tell why a signature
verification failed when the signer key was unavailable (empty "sigstatus" field
in the JSON output). Since 00b5623d the corresponding test is marked as broken
when using gmime-2.6 (2.4 is fine).
This bug has been fixed in gmime 2.6.5, which is now the minimal gmime-2.6
version required for building notmuch (gmime-2.4 is still available). As a
consequence the version check in test/crypto can be removed.
[Added by db]
Although less unambigously a bug, Gmime 2.6 prior to 2.6.7 also was
more strict about parsing, and rejected messages with initial "From "
headers. This restriction is relaxed in [2]. For reasons explained in [3],
we want to keep this more relaxed parsing for now.

notmuch show outputs the exclude flag so many tests using notmuch
show failed. This commit adds "excluded:0" or "excluded: false" to
the expected outputs. After this commit there should be no failing
tests.
notmuch-search.c now returns all matching threads even if it the
match is a search.tag_excluded message (but with a mark indicating
this). Update the test to reflect this.
