The retries are hardcoded to a small number, and error handling aborts
than propagating errors from notmuch_database_reopen. These are both
somewhat justified by the assumption that most things that can go
wrong in Xapian::Database::reopen are rare and fatal. Here's the brief
discussion with Xapian upstream:
24-02-2017 08:12:57 < bremner> any intuition about how likely
Xapian::Database::reopen is to fail? I'm catching a
DatabaseModifiedError somewhere where handling any further errors is
tricky, and wondering about treating a failed reopen as as "the
impossible happened, stopping"
24-02-2017 16:22:34 < olly> bremner: there should not be much scope for
failure - stuff like out of memory or disk errors, which are probably a
good enough excuse to stop
$NOTMUCH_PYTHON is sourced from sh.config, configured by
./configure and stated to be used as:
"Name of python command to use in configure and the test suite."
This enables the shortened socket pathes in /run or equivalent. The
explicit call to gpgconf is needed for nonstandard GNUPGHOME settings.
(amended according to id:m2fujatr4k.fsf@guru.guru-group.fi)
Attempt to distinguish between errors indicating misconfiguration or
programmer error, which we consider "permanent", in the sense that
automatic retries are unlikely to be useful, and those indicating
transient error conditions. We consider XAPIAN_EXCEPTION transient
because it covers the important special case of locking failure.
Running `gdb command < input` is not as reliable way to give input
to the command (some installations of gdb consume it). Use "set args"
gdb command to have input redirected at gdb 'run' time.
GnuPG 2.1.16 is now injecting the full issuer fingerprint in its
signatures, which makes them about 32 octets larger when
ascii-armored.
This change in size means that the size of the MIME parts will vary
depending on the version of gpg that the user has installed. at any
rate, the signature part should be non-zero (this is true for
basically any MIME part), so we just test for that instead of an exact
size.
emacs24 and emacs23 have different secure tag defaults: in particular,
mml-secure-message-sign only signs the part on emacs23 but the whole
message on emacs24. This difference makes one of the draft tests fail
(which causes a cascade of later failures) on emacs23. It seems that
travis uses emacs23 so it is useful to fix this.
We do this by forcing the whole message to be signed in either case --
the code snippet is extracted from mml-secure-message-sign on emacs24.
Provide functionality to resume editing a message previously saved with
notmuch-draft-save, including decoding the X-Notmuch-Emacs-Secure
header.
Resume gets the raw file from notmuch and using the emacs function
mime-to-mml reconstructs the message (including attachments).
'e' is bound to resume a draft from show or tree mode.
This provides initial support for postponing in the emacs frontend;
resuming will follow in a later commit. On saving/postponing it uses
notmuch insert to put the message in the notmuch database
Current bindings are C-x C-s to save a draft, C-c C-p to postpone a
draft (save and exit compose buffer).
Previous drafts get tagged deleted on subsequent saves, or on the
message being sent.
Each draft gets its own message-id, and we use the namespace
draft-.... for draft message ids (so, at least for most people, drafts
are easily distinguisable).
Moved the 2 basename(1) executions to the test failure branch in
test_expect_equal_file ().
The output of basename(1) executions in function test_expect_equal_file ()
are only used when tests fails -- when all tests pass these 2 basename(1)
executions are no longer done at all.
Thanks to Lucas (id:147263183913.27784.12274024193186585889@mbp) for the
bug report and the test case.
I decided to use the python version because the python bindings could
use more exercise.
In case of the test script is to be relaunced under valgrind, or --tee
is requested, use the $BASH shell variable to locate the command
interpreter. The $SHELL variable is re-set by non-interactive shells
so in case the shell uses some other shell (e.g. zsh) for interactive
use these bash scripts continue to work.
This is a strange corner case where the removing of the user's address
from the To: header does the wrong thing. If we think it is
worth (eventually) fixing, this test can serve as a reminder.
We want to be able to query the properties directly, like:
notmuch count property:foo=bar
which should return a count of messages where the property with key
"foo" has value equal to "bar".
This stops the (usually incorrect) sigstatus and encstatus buttons
appearing when replying in emacs, and updates the test suite to match.
Overriding the status button functions is a little unusual but much
less intrusive than passing an argument all the way down the call
chain. It also makes it clear exactly what it does.
We also hide the application/pgp-encrypted part as it can only contain
"Version: 1". We do this in notmuch show, which means it also happens
when replying.
Pass in GMimeMessage to simplify To/Cc/Bcc headers. We'll eventually
remove the notmuch message passing altogether, but keep both for now
to not make too big changes at once.
Getting the headers from GMimeMessage using GMime functions fixes the
error on duplicate Cc headers reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
<dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in id:87d1ngv95p.fsf@alice.fifthhorseman.net.
Get rid of an intermediate function.
The small annoyance is the ownership differences in the address lists.
As Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> reports in
id:87d1ngv95p.fsf@alice.fifthhorseman.net, notmuch show combines
multiple Cc: fields into one, while notmuch reply does not. While such
messages are in violation of RFC 5322, it would be reasonable to
expect notmuch to be consistent. Add a known broken test to document
this expectation.
This also starts a new "broken" corpus for messages which are broken.
Details:
The original message is formatted using the message printing in
notmuch-show.c. For Cc:, it uses g_mime_message_get_recipients(),
which apparently combines all Cc: fields into one internally.
The addresses in the reply headers, OTOH, are based on headers queried
through libnotmuch. It boils down to g_mime_object_get_header() in
lib/message-file.c, which returns only the first occurence of header.
We largely use the corpus under test/corpus for
testing. Unfortunately, many of our tests have grown to depend on
having exactly this set of messages, making it hard to add new message
files for testing specific cases.
We do use a lot of add_message from within the tests, but it's not
possible to use that for adding broken messages, and adding several
messages at once can get unwieldy.
Move the basic corpus under tests/corpora/default, and make it
possible to add new, independent corpora along its side. This means
tons of renames with a few tweaks to add_email_corpus function in
test-lib.sh to let tests specify which corpus to use.
Originally the intent was to make the test more robust against changing
test keys. It turns out that (unscientifically) gpg --with-colons output
changes more often than our test key. Rather than making the script more
complex, just hard code the fingerprint.
This fixes Debian bug #847013; I expect similar test failures as other
distros adopt gnupg 2.1.15
With all the preparation it is now simple to add the actual insert
code. Since insert can fail for many reasons we let the user decide
interactively deal with it.
We modify test-lib.el to set file fcc, so that all the old tests and
emacs_fcc_message from test-lib.sh still work
gdb sometimes writes warnings to stdout, which we don't need/want, and
for some reason --batch-silent isn't enough to hide. So in this commit
we write them to a log file, which is probably better for debugging
anyway. To see an illustrative test failure before this change, run
% make
% touch notmuch-count.c
% cd test && ./T060-count.sh
(cherry picked from commit f45fa5bdd3)
The User-Agent: header can be fun and interesting, but it also leaks
quite a bit of information about the user and their software stack.
This represents a potential security risk (attackers can target the
particular stack) and also an anonymity risk (a user trying to
preserve their anonymity by sending mail from a non-associated account
might reveal quite a lot of information if their choice of mail user
agent is exposed).
This change also avoids hiding the User-Agent header by default, so
that people who decide they want to send it will at least see it (and
can edit it if they want to) before sending.
It makes sense to have safer defaults.
Previously notmuch-wash made the width of the text (approximately) the
window-width minus the depth in thread. This is correct for the
default indentation of 1 per message depth, but is incorrect for any
other setting of notmuch-show-indent-messages-width.
As notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is customisable, and notmuch-tree
sets it to zero to avoid indenting messages in the message pane, this
bug can show up in real use.
Two of the tests had to be updated: when
notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is 0, then the new (correct) word
wrapping happens later, when notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is 4,
then the new word wrapping happens sooner.

This has been wrong since bbbdf0478e, but the race condition was not
previously been (often?) triggered in the tests. With the DB_RETRY_LOCK
patches, it manifests itself as a deadlock.
This support will be present only if the appropriate version of xapian
is available _and_ the user did not disable the feature when
building. So there really needs to be some way for the user to check.

A few simple things that applies well to test/notmuch-test.sh
- Shell does pathname expansion also without doing `echo ...` in subshell.
- Redirections >/dev/null 2>/dev/null hide (improbable but) potential
serious errors; adding -f to rm instead.
- Inter-file capitalization consistency in comments.
- Unnecesary space removal.
