These tests are currently broken! When a protected subject is indexed
in the clear, it leaks in the reply headers :(
For emacs, we set up separate tests for when the protected header is
indexed in the clear and when it is unindexed. neither case should
leak, but the former wasn't tested yet.
We will fix the two broken tests in a subsequent patch.

Up to this point, we've tested protected headers on messages that have
either been encrypted or signed, but not both.
This adds a couple tests of signed+encrypted messages, one where the
subject line is masked (outside subject line is "Subject Unavailable")
and another where it is not (outside Subject: matches inner Subject:)

When indexing the cleartext of an encrypted message, record any

Now that we can decrypt headers, we want to make sure that clients
using "notmuch reply" to prepare a reply don't leak cleartext in their
subject lines. In particular, the ["reply-headers"]["Subject"] should
by default show the external Subject.
A replying MUA that intends to protect the Subject line should show
the user the Subject from ["original"]["headers"]["Subject"] instead
of using ["reply-headers"]["Subject"].
This minor asymmetry with "notmuch show" is intentional. While both
tools always render the cleartext subject line when they know it (in
["headers"]["Subject"] for "notmuch show" and in
["original"]["headers"]["Subject"] for "notmuch reply"), "notmuch
reply" should never leak something that should stay under encrypted
cover in "reply-headers".

The header-mask member of the per-message crypto object allows a
clever UI frontend to mark whether a header was protected (or not).
And if it was protected, it contains enough information to show useful
detail to an interested user. For example, an MUA could offer a "show
what this message's Subject looked like on the wire" feature in expert
mode.
As before, we only handle Subject for now, but we might be able to
handle other headers in the future.

In certain cases of test suite failure, the summary report was not
being printed. In particular, any failure on the parallel test suite,
and any aborted test in the serialized test suite would end up hiding
the summary.
It's better to always show the summary where we can (while preserving
the return code). If we do abort due to this high-level failure,
though, we should also announce to the user that we're doing so as
close to the end of the process as possible, to make it easier to find
the problem.

This allows MUAs that don't want to think about per-mime-part
cryptographic status to have a simple high-level overview of the
message's cryptographic state.
Sensibly structured encrypted and/or signed messages will work fine
with this. The only requirement for the simplest encryption + signing
is that the message have all of its encryption and signing protection
(the "cryptographic envelope") in a contiguous set of MIME layers at
the very outside of the message itself.
This is because messages with some subparts signed or encrypted, but
with other subparts with no cryptographic protection is very difficult
to reason about, and even harder for the user to make sense of or work
with.
For further characterization of the Cryptographic Envelope and some of
the usability tradeoffs, see here:
https://dkg.fifthhorseman.net/blog/e-mail-cryptography.html#cryptographic-envelope
When we have not been able to evaluate the signature status of a given
MIME part, showing a content-free (and interaction-free) "[ Unknown
signature status ]" button doesn't really help the user at all, and
takes up valuable screen real-estate.
A visual reminder that a given message is *not* signed isn't helpful
unless it is always present, in which case we'd want to see "[ Unknown
signature status ]" buttons on all messages, even ones that don't have
a signing structure, but i don't think we want that.

These restrictions are meant to prevent incompatibilities with the

We don't do anything with this configuration information information
yet, but nonetheless add a couple of regression tests to make sure we
don't break standard functionality when we do use the configuration
information.
Done via $COLORS_WITHOUT_TTY environment variable as passing options
to commands through parallel(1) does not look trivial.
Reorganized color checking in test-lib.sh a bit for this (perhaps
were not fully necessary but rest still an improvement):
- color checking commands in subshell are not run before arg parsing
(args may disable colors with --no-color)
- [ -t 1 ] is checked before forking subshell
Added initialization and checking of smtp_dummy_port
like it was done with smtp_dummy_pid.
Made those function-local variables.
One 8 spaces to tab consistency conversion.
And last, but definitely not least; while doing above
noticed that there were quite a few double-quoted strings
where $@ was in the middle of it -- replaced those with $*
for robustness ("...$@..." expands params to separate words,
"...$*..." params expands to single word).
Without this stdin may be anything that parent process provided for it.
Test processes might have tried to read something from it, which would
have caused undeterministic behavior.
E.g. gdb(1) tries to do tty related ioctls on fd 0 (and fd 1 and fd 2,
but those are redirected to 'test.output' before test runs).
To the best of my understanding, this original behaviour was what
Carl's homebrew parser produced. With commit 86f89385 Austin switched
to using GMime (2.6). This produced arguably worse results, but since
the input was bad, we could live with it. Now with GMime 3.0 we are
getting the original results again, and there is no reason to consider
this test broken.

If either the moreutils or GNU parallel utility are available, run all
tests in parallel. On my eight core machine this makes for a ~x7
speed-up in the full test suite (1m24s -> 12s).
The design of the test suite makes this parallelization trivial.
The add_email_corpus test utility includes logic that tries to re-use
an index of the corpus if available. This was seemingly done as an
optimization, so that every test that uses the corpus didn't have to
create it's own index of the corpus. However, this has the perverse
side effect of entangling tests together, and breaks parallelization.
Forcing each test to do it's own index does increase the overall time
of the test slightly (~6%), but this will be more than made up for in
the next patch that introduces paraellization.
The typical use case for gpg is that if you control a secret key, you
mark it with "ultimate" ownertrust.
The opaque --import-ownertrust mechanism is GnuPG's standard mechanism
to set up ultimate ownertrust (the ":6:" means "ultimate", for
whatever reason).
We adjust the test suite to match this change, inverting the sense of
one test: since the default is now that the user ID of the suite's own
key is valid, we change the test to make sure that the user ID is not
emitted when it is *not* valid.

The user ID on the self-test is a little bit clunky-looking. It also

This is a subtle difference, but the output of notmuch shouldn't ever
change based on ownertrust itself -- notmuch is intended to show valid
User IDs, and to avoid showing invalid User IDs.
It so happens that setting ownertrust of a key to ultimate sets all
associated user IDs to "full" validity, so the test is correct, but
just misnamed.

Previously if the input was exactly a multiple of the internal buffer
size, notmuch would attempt to fwrite nothing to stdout, but still

$ notmuch show --format=raw id:87o96f1cya.fsf@codeaurora.org
...entire message shown as expected..

To fix the problem don't call fwrite at all when there's nothing to
write.
Amended by db: add some tests of message sizes likely to cause this
problem.
This drops "file" from mime_node_context and just uses a local
variable. It also uses the new gzip aware utility routines recently
added to util/gmime-extra.c. The use of gzopen / gzfile in addition is
a bit icky, but the choice is between that, and providing yet another
readline implimentation that understands GMime streams.
Rather than storing the lower level stdio FILE object, we store a
GMime stream. This allows both transparent decompression, and passing
the stream into GMime for parsing. As a side effect, we can let GMime
close the underlying OS stream (indeed, that stream isn't visible here
anymore).
This change is enough to get notmuch-{new,search} working, but there is still
some work required for notmuch-show, to be done in a following commit.

Unsigned encrypted mail shows up with a weird empty signature list.

If a test has added a GnuPG homedir, it may well want to know the
fingerprint. This saves us from having to redefine this magic string
in multiple places when more tests eventually use the GnuPG homedir.
The new `body:` field (in Xapian terms) or prefix (in slightly
sloppier notmuch) terms allows matching terms that occur only in the
body.
Unprefixed query terms should continue to match anywhere (header or
body) in the message.
This follows a suggestion of Olly Betts to use the facility (since
Xapian 1.0.4) to add the same field with multiple prefixes. The double
indexing of previous versions is thus replaced with a query time
expension of unprefixed query terms to the various prefixed
equivalent.
Reindexing will be needed for 'body:' searches to work correctly;
otherwise they will also match messages where the term occur in
headers (demonstrated by the new tests in T530-upgrade.sh)
Add test of forwarding messages from within emacs.
The first test checks that a references header is properly
added to the new message. The second test checks that the
send-hook of the forwarding message adds a forwarded-tag
to the original message.
Thanks to plujon for pointing out this problem on IRC. The underlying
issue is that the quotes are stripped before the field processors get
the query string, and the heuristic for putting them back is not quite
right.
The exact error messages returned by regerror() aren't standardized;
relying on them isn't portable. Thus, add a a prefix to make clear that
the subsequent message is a regexp parsing error, and only look for this
prefix in the test suite, ignoring the rest of the message.
POSIX doesn't specify the flushing behaviour of the STDOUT stream, so
it's invalid to assume a particular order between the stdout and stderr
output. The current test breaks on musl due to this.
I can't figure out how checking the sign of a bool ever worked. The
following program demonstrates the problem (i.e. for me it prints 1).
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
bool x;
x = -1;
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}
This seems to be mandated by the C99 standard 6.3.1.2.
When generating a reply message, if the user was the originator and
only recipient of the original message, include the user as a
recipient of the reply.
b31e44c678 introduced message-id-parse
as a new binary created by the test suite. It shows up as something
additional to git, but git ought to know to ignore it.
As reported by Sean Whitton, there are mailers (in particular the
Debian Bug Tracking System) that have sensible In-Reply-To headers,
but un-useful-for-notmuch References (in particular with the BTS, the
oldest reference is last). I looked at a sample of about 200K
messages, and only about 0.5% these had something other than a single
message-id in In-Reply-To. On this basis, if we see a single
message-id in In-Reply-To, consider that as authoritative.
The idea is that if a message-id parses with this function, the MUA
generating it was probably sane, and in particular it's probably safe
to use the result as a parent from In-Reply-to.
In a future commit, we will start trusting In-Reply-To's when they
look sane (i.e. a single message-id). Modify these tests so they will
keep passing (i.e. keep choosing References) when that happens.
The current scheme of choosing the replyto (i.e. the default parent
for threading purposes) does not work well for mailers that put
the oldest Reference last.
We (finally) implement the XXX comment. It requires a bit of care not
to reparent all of the possible toplevel messages.
_notmuch_messages_has_next is not ready to be a public function yet,
since it punts on the mset case. We know in the one case it is called,
the notmuch_messages_t is just a regular list / iterator.
This is mainly to lay out the structure of the final code. The problem
isn't really solved yet, although some very simple cases are
better (hence the fixed test). We need two passes through the messages
because we need to be careful not to re-parent too many messages and
end up without any toplevel messages.
For non-root messages, this should not should anything currently, as
the messages are already added in date order. In the future we will
add some non-root messages in a second pass out of order and the
sorting will be useful. It does fix the order of multiple
root-messages (although it is overkill for that).
This documents the bug discussed at
id:87efgmmysi.fsf@len.workgroup
The underlying issue is that the reply to a ghost (missing) message is
falsely classified as a root message in _resolve_thread_relationships.
There are two pairs of tests; in each case the the first test is
simpler / more robust, but also easier to fool.
There are 3 threads here, two synthetic, and one anonymized one using
data from Gregor. They test various aspects of thread
ordering/construction in the presence of replies to ghost messages.
This clarifies that the breakage seen with Xapian 1.4.6 does not have
to do with "funny" tags.
This test is "known broken", but only with xapian 1.4.6, and there's
curently no convenient way to mark that.
Messages that contain Windows-1252 are frequently mislabeled as ISO
8859-1, which may result in non-printable characters when displaying
the message. The test asserts that such characters (in this case
curved quotes) are displayed correctly.
Add fancy new feature, which makes "notmuch show" capable of actually
indexing messages that it just decrypted.
This enables a workflow where messages can come in in the background
and be indexed using "--decrypt=auto". But when showing an encrypted
message for the first time, it gets automatically indexed.
This is something of a departure for "notmuch show" -- in particular,
because it requires read/write access to the database. However, this
might be a common use case -- people get mail delivered and indexed in
the background, but only want access to their secret key to happen
when they're directly interacting with notmuch itself.
In such a scenario, they couldn't search newly-delivered, encrypted
messages, but they could search for them once they've read them.
Documentation of this new feature also uses a table form, similar to
that found in the description of index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).
A notmuch UI that wants to facilitate this workflow while also
offering an interactive search interface might instead make use of
these additional commands while the user is at the console:
Count received encrypted messages (if > 0, there are some things we
haven't yet tried to index, and therefore can't yet search):
notmuch count tag:encrypted and \
not property:index.decryption=success and \
not property:index.decryption=failure
Reindex those messages:
notmuch reindex --try-decrypt=true tag:encrypted and \
not property:index.decryption=success and \
not property:index.decryption=failure
Wherever the test relies on directories being scanned, this option
should be used to avoid skipping them due to mtimes on directories
matching the database.
Most of these just check that adding the flag does not break existing
functionality. The one test that does check the full-scan
functionality had to be rewritten to output debugging info.
This way, one can build for a different Ruby than $PATH/ruby

This is still somewhat brute-force, but it's a big improvement over
both the shell script solution and the previous proposal [1], because it

We expect this to give the same answer as the non-regexp subject
search. It does not because the regexp search relies on the value
slot, which currently contains only one subject.
These roughly replicate the equivalent C tests, although they rely on
the database state created by the former tests, since the python
bindings currently provide read-only access to properties.
The previous loop handling code chooses the last message in the
message list, which turns out to be the last in date order.
See the comment in _notmuch_thread_create.
In some cases (e.g. when building a publicly-visible e-mail archive)
it doesn't make any sense to restrict visibility of the message to the
current user account.

that those who want to archive their mail publicly can feed their
archiver with:
notmuch insert --world-readable
Other local delivery agents (postfix's local, and dovecot's lda) all
default to delivery in mode 0600 rather than relying on the user's
umask, so this fix doesn't change the default.
Also, this does not override the user's umask. if the umask is
already set tight, it will not become looser as the result of passing
--world-readable.

This brings the --decrypt argument to "notmuch reply" into line with

We also expand tab completion for it, update the emacs bindings, and

We adopt a pythonic idiom here with an optional argument, rather than
exposing the user to the C indexopts object directly.

The current behaviour is at best under-documented. The modified test in

The use of talloc_strdup here is probably overkill, but it avoids
having to enforce that thread->authors is never mutated outside

If we're building against a version of Xapian that doesn't offer
retrying the lock, we should be honest and describe the tests as
broken, rather than marking them as missing a test prerequisite.
missing test prerequisites should be for specific components of the
test harness that are missing, not for the backend library notmuch
uses.
Named queries don't work without Xapian FieldProcessor. Rather than
silently skipping them, we should explictly mark them as broken when
building against an older version of Xapian.
Previously, the test suite had simply silently skipped the absolute
date test if we're using an archaic version of Xapian. For
correctness, we should instead mark the test as broken.
This also changes from string to numeric comparison when checking
NOMTUCH_HAVE_XAPIAN_FIELD_PROCESSOR for consistency with other tests.
The old name has a bit of a feeling of hungarian notation. Also many

When i'm trying to understand a message signature, i care that i know
who it came from (the "validity" of the identity associated with the
key), *not* whether i'm willing to accept the keyholder's other
identity assertions (the "trust" associated with the certificate).
We've been reporting User ID information based on the "trust"
associated with the certificate, because GMime didn't clearly expose
the validity of the User IDs.
This change relies on fixes made in GMime 3.0.3 and later which
include https://github.com/jstedfast/gmime/pull/18.
Here's the configuration choice for people who want a cleartext index,
but don't want stashed session keys.
Interestingly, this "nostash" decryption policy is actually the same
policy that should be used by "notmuch show" and "notmuch reply",
since they never modify the index or database when they are invoked
with --decrypt.
We take advantage of this parallel to tune the behavior of those
programs so that we're not requesting session keys from GnuPG during
"show" and "reply" that we would then otherwise just throw away.
If you're going to store the cleartext index of an encrypted message,
in most situations you might just as well store the session key.
Doing this storage has efficiency and recoverability advantages.
Combined with a schedule of regular OpenPGP subkey rotation and
destruction, this can also offer security benefits, like "deletable
e-mail", which is the store-and-forward analog to "forward secrecy".
But wait, i hear you saying, i have a special need to store cleartext
indexes but it's really bad for me to store session keys! Maybe
(let's imagine) i get lots of e-mails with incriminating photos
attached, and i want to be able to search for them by the text in the
e-mail, but i don't want someone with access to the index to be
actually able to see the photos themselves.
Fret not, the next patch in this series will support your wacky
uncommon use case.
There are some situations where the user wants to get rid of the
cleartext index of a message. For example, if they're indexing
encrypted messages normally, but suddenly they run across a message
that they really don't want any trace of in their index.
In that case, the natural thing to do is:
notmuch reindex --decrypt=false id:whatever@example.biz
But of course, clearing the cleartext index without clearing the
stashed session key is just silly. So we do the expected thing and
also destroy any stashed session keys while we're destroying the index
of the cleartext.
Note that stashed session keys are stored in the xapian database, but
xapian does not currently allow safe deletion (see
https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/742).
As a workaround, after removing session keys and cleartext material
from the database, the user probably should do something like "notmuch
compact" to try to purge whatever recoverable data is left in the
xapian freelist. This problem really needs to be addressed within
xapian, though, if we want it fixed right.
The new "auto" decryption policy is not only good for "notmuch show"
and "notmuch reindex". It's also useful for indexing messages --
there's no good reason to not try to go ahead and index the cleartext
of a message that we have a stashed session key for.
This change updates the defaults and tunes the test suite to make sure
that they have taken effect.
When showing a message, if the user doesn't specify --decrypt= at all,
but a stashed session key is known to notmuch, notmuch should just go
ahead and try to decrypt the message with the session key (without
bothering the user for access to their asymmetric secret key).
The user can disable this at the command line with --decrypt=false if
they really don't want to look at the e-mail that they've asked
notmuch to show them.
and of course, "notmuch show --decrypt" still works for accessing the
user's secret keys if necessary.
If the user doesn't specify --decrypt= at all, but a stashed session
key is known to notmuch, when replying to an encrypted message,
notmuch should just go ahead and decrypt.
The user can disable this at the command line with --decrypt=false,
though it's not clear why they would ever want to do that.
This new automatic decryption policy should make it possible to
decrypt messages that we have stashed session keys for, without
incurring a call to the user's asymmetric keys.
Future patches in this series will introduce new policies; this merely
readies the way for them.
We also convert --try-decrypt to a keyword argument instead of a boolean.
the command-line interface for indexing (reindex, new, insert) used
--try-decrypt; and the configuration records used index.try_decrypt.
But by comparison with "show" and "reply", there doesn't seem to be
any reason for the "try" prefix.
This changeset adjusts the command-line interface and the
configuration interface.
For the moment, i've left indexopts_{set,get}_try_decrypt alone. The
subsequent changeset will address those.
If the version of GMime we're building against doesn't support session
key extraction or re-use, mark the tests that rely on session key
capabilities as known-broken.
This should resolve test suite failures on ubuntu trusty and debian
jessie and earlier, which have GMime 2.6.20 -- session key support was
introduced in GMime 2.6.21.
If you've got a notmuch dump that includes stashed session keys for
every decrypted message, and you've got your message archive, you
should be able to get back to the same index that you had before.
Here we add a simple test that give some flavor of how that works.
In 8e7fb88237 Jani replaced the use of $(pwd -P) to find the
TEST_DIRECTORY in order to better support out of tree
builds. Unfortunately the performance-tests need a different value for
the variable and were thus broken.
This commit splits out the setting of this variable for the two sets
of tests. Performance tests still don't work out of tree, because
the handling of the downloaded corpus needs to be updated.
backup_database() and restore_database() used to store the backups in
the test specific temporary directory, through the current working
directory being there. Commit 8e7fb88237 ("test: use source and
build paths in test-lib-common.sh") started using a test specific
backup directories under the build tree test directory. This was in
error. Switch back to the old location, but using paths to the
location instead of relying on current working directory.

Enable override of the index.try_decrypt setting on a per-run basis
when invoking "notmuch reindex". This allows the possibility of (for
example) an emacs keybinding that adds the cleartext of the currently
shown decrypted message to the index, making it searchable in the
future.
It also enables one-time indexing of all messages matching some query,
like so:
notmuch reindex tag:encrypted and\
not property:index.decryption=success and\
from:alice@example.org
We also update the documentation and tab completion, and add a few
more tests.
Enable override of the index.try_decrypt setting on a per-message
basis when invoking "notmuch insert".
We also update the documentation and tab completion, and add more tests.
Enable override of the index.try_decrypt setting during "notmuch new"
on a per-invocation basis.
We update the documentation and tab completion, and also add a test.
Subsequent patches may want to send GNU-style --long-arguments to
notmuch new in the test suite, in particular when invoking
emacs_fcc_message. This changeset makes that possible.
The primary motivation here is to fix TMP_DIRECTORY cleanup prior to
running each test when the current working directory is not the test
subdirectory. Tests with failures would leave their TMP_DIRECTORY
directory behind for debugging, and repeated out-of-tree test runs
would have old temp directories. (This lead to e.g. T310-emacs.sh
hanging because emacs would prompt for overwriting files.)
We remove the likely anyway defunct --root test option while at it,
just to be on the safe side when doing 'rm -rf' on the TMP_DIRECTORY.
