The previous code had the somewhat bizarre effect that the (notmuch
specific) query string was "*" (interpreted as MatchAll) and the
allegedly parsed xapian_query was "MatchNothing".
This commit also reduces code duplication.
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.
Set the parsing syntax when the (notmuch) query object is
created. Initially the library always returns a trivial query that
matches all messages when using s-expression syntax.
It seems better to select the syntax at query creation time because
the lazy parsing is an implementation detail.
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.
These are failing on (surprisingly) the Debian amd64
autobuilder. There were also previous reports of failures on Ubuntu
s390x. Fixing this may require changing the way the default is
calculated.
This avoids some ugly error messages and exceptions, and hopes that
some gnus method will display message/rfc822 parts that have only a
file, no :content part.
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 just a regular character in docstrings (as it is fairly often
used in lisp identifiers and buffer names) but is the start of
emphasis in rst. This change is needed to quell a noisy warning when
including notmuch-tree.rsti
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 new command for notmuch-tree-mode is analogous to
notmuch-search-filter-by-tag, bound to "t" in notmuch-search-mode; it
gets therefore the same "t" keybinding in notmuch-tree-mode (replacing
the current assignment to notmuch-search-by-tag).
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.
