This fixes a non-deterministic failure in "Ignore files and
directories specified in new.ignore (multiple occurrences)". The test
assumed that all directories would be scanned, even though nothing
updated the mtime of ${MAIL_DIR}. It *usually* worked nevertheless
because the tests run quickly enough that the directory mtime is
usually the same as the current time, so notmuch new does not update
the mtime in the database (because more changes could occur in the
same second). However, when it occasionally did update the mtime in
the database, the notmuch new call in this test would (correctly) skip
"pass 2" of scanning ${MAIL_DIR}, causing it to skip the following
expected lines:
(D) add_files_recursive, pass 2: explicitly ignoring ${MAIL_DIR}/.git
(D) add_files_recursive, pass 2: explicitly ignoring ${MAIL_DIR}/.ignored_hidden_file
(D) add_files_recursive, pass 2: explicitly ignoring ${MAIL_DIR}/ignored_file
This patch fixes this problem by touching ${MAIL_DIR} to ensure it
gets scanned and by rearranging the test to ensure the directories are
touched immediately before the main notmuch new call in the test.
We now test for user ignore patterns before attempting to determine if
a directory entry is itself a directory. As a result, we no longer
abort for broken symlinks if the user has explicitly ignored them.
This fixes the test added in the previous patch. It also slightly
changes the debug output checked by another test of ignores.
Previously, we would treat multi-message mboxes as one giant email,
which, besides the obvious incorrect indexing, often led to
out-of-memory errors for archival mboxes. Now we explicitly reject
multi-message mboxes. For historical reasons, we retain support for
single-message mboxes, but official deprecate this behavior.
This test is currently broken. Note that its brokenness cascades and
causes the next test to fail as well (because notmuch incorrectly
indexes the mbox file).
Although messages are created in a particular order, it seems that
when they are created on a tmpfs, they do not always come back in the
same order, leading to the same files being ignored but being output
in a different order. This causes the test to fail because the outputs
being compared are the same.
Fix the failures by sorting the output of notmuch --debug and
comparing this to a hand-sorted version of its output.

Demonstrates that *every* file/directory which matches one of the values
in 'new.ignore' will be ignored, independent of its depth/location in
the mail store.

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).
A new configuration key 'new.ignore' is used to determine which
files and directories user wants not to be scanned as new mails.
Mark the corresponding test as no longer broken.
This work merges my previous attempts and Andreas Amann's work
in id:"ylp7hi23mw8.fsf@tyndall.ie"
Files and directories which are specified in 'new.ignore' in the
config file shouldn't be indexed nor reported by `notmuch new'.
This is basically Pieter's work with Austin's comments addressed.
Change #!/bin/bash at start of tests to "#!/usr/bin/env bash". That way
systems running on bash < 4 can prepend bash >= 4 to path before
running the tests.
When the NOTMUCH variable was originally invented it was used as an
explicit path to the notmuch binary being tested. Today, the test
suite sets the PATH variable instead, so the NOTMUCH variable always
has a value of simply "notmuch".
We simplifying that by using the constant value rather than the
continual variable reference.
The numbers were meaningless, and they made it hard to find a file of interest.
Instead, we get the ordering we want by adding an explicit list of
tests to run to the notmuch-test script.
