Although it makes sense for the extra headers to be added to the copy
of the message headers included in the sexp/json, it is a bit
surprising for them to show in the new message constructed for the
reply, especially when, as here, they are always missing/empty.
This is based on a patch from Johan Parin [1], which is in turn
responding to a bug report / feature requiest from Jan Malkhovski.

Since the bug was first reported in [1], notmuch has gained the
ability to have the database located outside the mail root, hence this
this change differs slightly from Jani's proposed solution [2] in not
using notmuch_database_get_path, but rather the already retrieved
mail_root.

In [1] Rob observed that notmuch new ignored directories called
.notmuch everywhere in the tree, where they should only (and now, with
split configs, at most) be ignored at the top level. Add a test to
demonstrate the problem.
[1]: id:87mwhifu9a.fsf@trouble.defaultvalue.org
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.
As stressed by the gpg documentation, the non-'with-colons' output
format is subject to change, and indeed it did in 2.3.x (x<=3). This
should make the the test suite more robust against such changes.
If we return regular Message objects, python will try to destroy them,
and the underlying notmuch object, causing e.g. the crash [1].
[1]: id:87sfu6utxg.fsf@tethera.net
This reproduces the bug reported at [1]. The second test hints at the
solution, making reply return OwnedMessage objects.

It makes perfect sense for users to want to pre-create .notmuch,
e.g. to install hooks, so we should handle the case of a .notmuch
directory without an actual xapian database more gracefully.
`notmuch new' should go ahead and create the xapian database if it is
missing, even in the case where the parent .notmuch (or equivalent)
directory exists.
In [1] Mark Walters reported a problem with messages being removed
from the database when the parent directory was renamed. Jani Nikula
proposed [2] these tests but observed
This test is not suitable for merging since it's not deterministic.
After applying Jani's patch [3], the tests now pass deterministically,
and could usefully act as regression tests.

The remaining problem in this test is fixed upstream in Emacs
28. While most people are using earlier versions of emacs, the test
still provides some documentation of a known bug.
There is a certain amount of boilerplate to pass the call on the
original function, so abstract it out as a C preprocessor macro, plus
some extra includes in notmuch-test.h
Unlike the previous g_key_file_get_value, this version processes
escape codes for whitespace and \. The remaining two broken tests from
the last commit are because "notmuch config get" treats every value as
a list, and thus the previously introduces stripping of leading
whitespace applies.
glib generates the following escape characters with their usual
meanings: \n, \t, \r, and \\, along with \s for _leading_
spaces. Currently notmuch fails to unescape these on reading the
config files. These tests demonstrate this bug; the one new test that
passes is because apparently glib only escapes tabs at the beginning
of a key.
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.

Since release 0.32, libnotmuch provides searching for database and
configuration paths. This commit changes the python module notmuch2 to
use those facilities.
This fixes the bug reported in [1], along with a couple of the
deprecation warnings in the python bindings.
Database.default_path is deprecated, since it no longer faithfully
reflects what libnotmuch is doing, and it is also no longer used in
the bindings themselves.
This commit choose the default of config=CONFIG.EMPTY (equivalent to
passing "" to notmuch_database_open_with_config). This makes the
change upward compatible API-wise (at least as far as the test suite
verifies), but changing the default to CONFIG.SEARCH would probably be
more convenient for bindings users.
[1]: id:87h7d4wp6b.fsf@tethera.net
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.
It is confusing to use two different names (sexp vs sexpr) when
compared with the command line option --query=sexp and (furthermore)
singular vs plural when compared with the man page title.
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 reported in id:87h7pxiek3.fsf@tethera.net, the previous version of
the test is flaky. There is some so-far undebugged interaction between
openssl and gpgsm that causes the keys to fail to import. As a
potential workaround, use the key as exported by gpgsm, and eliminate
openssl from this particular pipeline.
As with notmuch--process-lines, initial purpose is to provide a safe
binding for default-directory. This is enough to make notmuch-hello
robust against non-existent or corrupt values default-directory, but
probably not other views.
Because of the way emacs reports errors, a test form can crash and not
change the main buffer. To work around this, capture both signalled
errors and any other messages.
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.

Add the function notmuch-test-result-flags to test-lib.el to avoid
repeating it in 3 T*.sh files.
We have to rewrite _optimize_tag_query here because it is generating
a query string in the infix Xapian syntax. Luckily this is easy to do
with the sexp query syntax.
The change in each case is to call notmuch_query_create_with_syntax,
relying on the already inherited shared options. As a bonus we get
improved error handling from the new query creation API.
The remaining subcommand is 'tag', which is a bit trickier.
Macros implement lazy evaluation and lexical scope. The former is
needed to make certain natural constructs work sensibly (e.g. (tag
,param)) but the latter is mainly future-proofing in case the DSL is
is extended to allow local bindings.
For technical background, see chapters 6 and 17 of [1] (or some other
intermediate programming languages textbook).

It turns out there is not really much code in query-fp.cc useful for
supporting the new syntax. The code we could potentially factor out
amounts to calling notmuch_database_get_config; both the key
construction and the parsing of the results are specific to the query
syntax involved.
This commit does not enable using saved s-expression queries, only
saving and retrieving them from the config file or the database. Use
in queries will be enabled in a following commit.
This provides functionality analogous to query: in the Xapian
QueryParser based parser. Perhaps counterintuitively, the saved
queries currently have to be in the original query syntax (i.e. not
s-expressions).
One subtle aspect is the replacement of _find_prefix with
_notmuch_database_prefix, which understands user headers. Otherwise
the code mainly consists of creating a fake prefix record (since the
user prefixes are not in the prefix table) and error handling.
This is necessary so that programs can take infix syntax queries from
a user and use the sexp query syntax to construct e.g. a refinement of
that query.
At least to the degree that the Xapian QueryParser based parser
also supports them. Support short alias 'rx' as it seems to make more
complex queries nicer to read.
This is equivalent to adding the same field name "" for multiple
prefixes in the Xapian query parser, but we have to explicitely
construct the resulting query.
The many tests potentially overkill, but they could catch typos in the
prefixes table. As a simplifying assumption, for now we assume a
single argument to the wildcard operator, as this matches the Xapian
semantics. The name 'starts-with' is chosen to emphasize the supported
case of wildcards in currrent (1.4.x) Xapian.
We use "boolean" to describe fields that should generate terms
literally without stemming or phrase splitting. This terminology
might not be ideal but it is already enshrined in
notmuch-search-terms(7).
Anything that is quoted or not purely word characters is considered a
phrase. Phrases are not stemmed, because the stems do not have
positional information in the database. It is less efficient to scan
the term twice, but it avoids a second pass to add prefixes, so maybe
it balances out. In any case, it seems unlikely query parsing is very
often a bottleneck.
All operations and (Xapian) fields will eventually have an entry in
the prefixes table. The flags field is just a placeholder for now, but
will eventually distinguish between various kinds of prefixes.
There is not much of a parser here yet, but it already does some
useful error reporting. Most functionality sketched in the
documentation is not implemented yet; detailed documentation will
follow with the implementation.
The configure part is essentially the same as the other checks using
pkg-config. Since the optional inclusion of this feature changes what
options are available to the user, include it in the "built_with"
pseudo-configuration keys.
It turns out that now that we pass an open database into the
subcommands, it is easy to check any requested uuid against the
database at the same time as we process the other shared
arguments. This results in overall less boilerplate code, as well as
making a CLI scope function and variable file scope in notmuch.c.
There are at least 3 bugs present.
1) notmuch-show-insert-part-message/rfc822 assumes that message/rfc822
parts will have a ":content" property, but that turns out not to be
the case.
2) something deep in gnus wants gnus-newsgroup-charset, but that is
defined in gnus-sum, which is not loaded by default.
3) If gnus-sum is loaded, then the display of the message/rfc822 part
succeeds, but the buffer gets put into gnus-article-mode, which means
that, inter alia, notmuch text properties and keybindings get wiped.
When using notmuch-reply and guessing the From: address from
Delivered-To headers, I had the wrong address chosen today. This was
because the messages from the notmuch list contain these headers in this
order:
Delivered-To: hannu.hartikainen@gmail.com
...
Delivered-To: hannu@hrtk.in
In my .notmuch-config I have the following configuration:
primary_email=hannu@hrtk.inother_email=hannu.hartikainen@gmail.com;...
Before this change, notmuch-reply would guess From: @gmail.com because
that is the first Delivered-To header present. After the change, the
primary address is chosen as I would expect.
Add a known broken subtest for guessing From: correctly when there are
multiple Delivered-To: headers. The address configured as primary_email
should get picked.
This is a bit of a cheat, since the format does not actually
change. On the other hand it is fairly common to do something like
this to shared libary SONAMEs when the ABI changes in some subtle way.
It does rely on the format-version argument being early enough on the
command line to generate a sensible error message.
This is more robust against crashes when the expected output is also
generated by notmuch. In the case where the expected output is
explicit, it seems like overkill.
A common bug in tests is that the code used to generate the EXPECTED
file fails, generating no output. When the code generating the OUTPUT
file fails in the same way, the test passes, even though there is a
failure being hidden. Add a new test function that guards against
this.
We need to special case the config section "built_with" because it is
not (currently) handled by the library. This seems consist with the
other sub-sub-commands 'list' and 'set'.
This highlights a bug reported by several users, including
Mohsin Kaleem [1].
The inconsistent use of test_begin_subtest_known_broken is because
some of these tests pass even though the database cannot be
located. This problem is left for a future commit.

This is more efficient than notmuch-show-only-matching-messages, since
we do not parse the potentially large thread structure to find a
single message.
This is only a partial fix for notmuch-tree view, because displaying
the thread structure in the tree-mode window still crashes on long
threads. It is however enough to make unthreaded view handle long
threads.
This change addresses two known issues with large sets of changes to
the database. The first is that as reported by Steven Allen [1],
notmuch commits are not "flushed" when they complete, which means that
if there is an open transaction when the database closes (or e.g. the
program crashes) then all changes since the last commit will be
discarded (nothing is irrecoverably lost for "notmuch new", as the
indexing process just restarts next time it is run). This does not
really "fix" the issue reported in [1]; that seems rather difficult
given how transactions work in Xapian. On the other hand, with the
default settings, this should mean one only loses less than a minutes
worth of work. The second issue is the occasionally reported "storm"
of disk writes when notmuch finishes. I don't yet have a test for
this, but I think committing as we go should reduce the amount of work
when finalizing the database.

When the certificate that signs a message is known to be valid, GMime
is capable of reporting on the e-mail address embedded in the
certificate.
We pass this information along to the caller of "notmuch show", as
often only the e-mail address of the certificate has actually been
checked/verified.
Furthermore, signature verification should probably at some point
compare the e-mail address of the caller against the sender address of
the message itself. Having to parse what gmime thinks is a "userid"
to extract an e-mail address seems clunky and unnecessary if gmime
already thinks it knows what the e-mail address is.

notmuch-test will now call aggregate-results.sh with file list
that it compiles based on the test ran, and aggregate-results
will report failure is any of the test files are missing.
With this notmuch-test no longer has to exit in non-parallel
run if some test fail to write its report file -- so it works
as parallel tests in this sense.
Changed test_done() in test-lib.sh write report file in one write(2),
so there is (even) less chance it being partially written. Also,
now it writes 'total' last and aggregate-results.sh expects this
line to exist in all report files for reporting to be successful.
Added 'set -eu' to notmuch-test and modified code to work with
these settings. That makes it harder to get mistakes slipped
into committed code.

will work.
Prior to 9ad19e4454 there was an unhandled Xapian exception when
reindexing after a large number of deletes. This test was used for
bisection, and will subsequently serve as a regression test.
say_color() used to call (builtin) printf (and tput(1) to stdout)
several times, which caused attempts to write messages with color
to have partial content (e.g. escape sequences) often intermixed
with other tests when parallel tests were run.
Now, with all output collected, then written out using one
printf, all strings with color print out correctly
((at least short) write(2)'s appear to write out "atomically").
While at it, used only one tput(1) execution to determine whether
color output works, and made bold/colors/sgr0 to tput(1) their
values once per test.
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).
This prevents the message document getting multiple thread-id terms
when there are multiple files with the same message-id.
This change shifts some thread ids, requiring adjustments to other tests.
According to my bijection, this bug has been present since commit
411675a6ce in 2017. It is not completely clear what harm it causes in
regulary use, but it (at least) makes notmuch crash when compiled with
-DDEBUG_DATABASE_SANITY.

notmuch-before-tag-hook and notmuch-after-tag-hook are supposed to
have access to two dynamic variables, tag-changes and query, but these
were lost with the switch to lexical binding in fc4cda07 (emacs: use
lexical-bindings in all libraries, 2021-01-13).
Add a variant of Emacs's dlet (not available until Emacs 28) and use
it in notmuch-tag to expose tag-changes and query to the hooks.
Due to the change in the config system, notmuch keeps a notmuch database
open when it would not do so before. Consequently, it can miss changes
to the database which are done from a hook (while notmuch holds the
databse in read only mode). When notmuch itself writes to the database
after that it uses wrong assumptions about the last used doc id etc.

Amended-by: db. Check for both messages
Prior to 0.32, notmuch had the (undocumented) behaviour that it
expanded a relative value of database.path with respect to $HOME. In
0.32 this was special cased for database.path but broken for
database.mail_root, which causes problems for at least notmuch-new
when database.path is set to a relative path.
The change in T030-config.sh reflects a user visible, but hopefully
harmless behaviour change; the expanded form of the paths will now be
printed by notmuch config.

lib/open.cc:_load_key_file will only open xdg-config files in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME if it's defined, $HOME/.config will be considered if
and only if XDG_CONFIG_HOME not defined.
Let's unset said variable before running the test.
Certain tools like the address-sanitizer fail if they are not the
first LD_PRELOADed library. It does not seem to matter for our shims,
as long as they are loaded before libnotmuch.
This will allow simplifying the subcommand interface.
Change the internal API to notmuch_config_open to not tie it to the
implementation of subcommands in notmuch.c.
It also fixes a previously broken test, since notmuch_config_open does
not understand the notion of the empty string as a config file name.
There are two small code changes. The main one is to retrieve the
possibly updated config file name found during the database opening
call. The second change is to allow empty config file names, as
a (currently broken) way of specifying that configuration should only
be taken from the database.
Eventually we want to do all opening of databases in the top
level (main function). This means that detection of missing databases
needs to move out of subcommands. It also requires updating the
library to use the new NO_DATABASE status code.
Previously the fact that some configuration options were only stored
in the database (and thus editing the config file had no effect) was a
source of user confusion. This was fixed with the series ending at
d9af0af164.
On the other hand, the underlying partition of config options into
those stored by default in the database and those stored in the config
file remained. This is also confusing, since now some invocations of
"notmuch config set" modify the config file, and others silently
modify the database instead.
With this commit, it is up to the user to decide which configuration
to modify. A new "--database" option is provided for notmuch config to
enable modifying the configuration information in the database;
otherwise the default is to update an external config file.
Use the database opened at the top level rather than opening another
notmuch_database_t.
Test output changes because keys are now listed in alphabetical order,
and because a missing database is no longer an error.
This commit starts the conversion of notmuch-config.c
functionality (as opposed to just interface) to the new config
framework.
The change to T030-config is because of the move of the
canonicalization database paths from the notmuch_config_t accessor to
the internal function _choose_database_path.
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.
The stat is essentially replaced by the mkdir for error detection
purposes. This changes the default location for backups to make
things tidier, even in non-split configurations. Hopefully there is
not too many user scripts relying on the previous location.
Because the default location may not exist, replace the use of stat
for error detection with a call to mkdir.
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.
Choose sibling directory of xapian database, as .notmuch may not
exist.
libgen.h is already used in debugger.c, so it is not a new dependency
/ potential portability problem.
The new test is in T055-path-config because it uses the helper
function split_config, and because it seems easier to put the
database path related tests in one place.
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.
This adds new state variable for the mail root, and uses it most
places db_path was used. The notable exception is dumps from
backups. The latter will be dealt with properly in a future commit.
The main functionality will be tested when notmuch-new is converted to
support split configuration. Here only the somewhat odd case of split
mail root which is actually symlinked to the database path is tested.
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.
In order to open the database in main() for this command, we may need
to re-open it in the (possibly less common) case where crypto options
require write access.
This fixes a bug reported in [1]. In principle it could be possible
avoid one of these reopens, but it complicates the logic in main with
respect to creating new databases.
