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.
The name is a compromise between keeping function names from getting
too long, and avoiding confusion with the newer notmuch_config library
API. Try to make clear that the residual functionality is only about
updating configuration files.
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.
Most of the changes are the elimination of notmuch_config_t accessor
use. We also migrate some of the diagnostics to the top level where we
are opening the files in question.
This will allow transitioning individual subcommands to the new
configuration framework. Eventually when they are all converted we can
remove the notmuch_config_t * argument.
For now, live with the parameter shadowing in some some subcommands;
it will go away when they are converted.
This way if variables defined using unused() macro are actually
used then code will not compile...
- removed unused usage around one argc and one argv since those
were used
- changed one unused (char *argv[]) to unused (char **argv) to
work with modified unused() macro definition
C99 stdbool turned 18 this year. There really is no reason to use our
own, except in the library interface for backward
compatibility. Convert the cli and test binaries to stdbool.
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.
The function notmuch_exit_if_unmatched_db_uuid is split from
notmuch_process_shared_options because it needs an open notmuch
database.
There are two exceptional cases in uuid handling.
1) notmuch config and notmuch setup don't currently open the database,
so it doesn't make sense to check the UUID.
2) notmuch compact opens the database inside the library, so we either
need to open the database just to check uuid, or change the API.
In particular this fixes a recently encountered bug where the
"--config" argument to "notmuch setup" is silently ignored, which the
unpleasant consequence of overwriting the users config file.
Apart from the status codes for format mismatches, the non-zero exit
status codes have been arbitrary. Make the cli consistently return
either EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE.
This allows specifying config file as a top level argument to notmuch,
and generally makes it possible to override config file options in
main(), without having to touch the subcommands.
If the config file does not exist, one will be created for the notmuch
main command and setup and help subcommands. Help is special in this
regard; the config is created just to avoid errors about missing
config, but it will not be saved.
This also makes notmuch config the talloc context for subcommands.
We now have a notmuch_config_is_new() function to query whether a
config was created or not. Change the notmuch_config_open() is_new
parameter into boolean create_new to determine whether the function
should create a new config if one doesn't exist. This reduces the
complexity of the API.
This reverts
dfee0f9 man: remove search.exclude_tags from notmuch-config.1 for 0.12
e83409d NEWS: revert NEWS item for exclude tags for 0.12
e77b031 config: disable addition of exclude tags for 0.12
This synchronization is one of those features that should just happen
automatically. We allow for customization in case someone *really*
wants to turn it off, but we don't need to prompt for this
interactively.
People with special needs can find the configuration file on their
own.
Since the name of the configuration parameter here is:
maildir.synchronize_flags
the convention is that the functions to get and set this parameter
should match it in name. Hence:
notmuch_config_get_maildir_synchronize_flags
etc. (as opposed to notmuch_config_get_maildir_sync).
This adds group [maildir] and key 'synchronize_flags' to the
configuration file. Its value enables (true) or diables (false) the
synchronization between notmuch tags and maildir flags. By default,
the synchronization is disabled.
These were introduced as a side-effect of commit
b9eac48c22 (shame on me for doing
side-effect commits like that!).
For me, at least, compilation is now warning-free.
If the user is explicitly providing EOF, then terminating the program
is the most likely desired thing to do. This also avoids undefined
behavior from continuing with an uninitialized response after ignoring
the return value of getline().
This fixes a small bug in notmuch_setup_command such that it returned
OK and output the setup message footer even if the config file write
step failed.
It's quite possible for someone to read the documentation and run
"notmuch setup" rather than just "notmuch". In that case, we don't
want to be any less welcoming.
This will allow for things like the database path to be specified
without any cheesy NOTMUCH_BASE environment variable. It also will
allow "notmuch reply" to recognize the user's email address when
constructing a reply in order to do the right thing, (that is, to use
the user's address to which mail was sent as From:, and not to reply
to the user's own addresses).
With this change, the "notmuch setup" command is now strictly for
changing the configuration of notmuch. It no longer creates the
database, but instead instructs the user to call "notmuch new" to do
that.
Now that the client sources are alone here in their own directory,
(with all the library sources down inside the lib directory), we can
break the client up into multiple files without mixing the files up.
The hope is that these smaller files will be easier to manage and
maintain.
