new: Skip ignored broken symlinks

2012-11-27T02:17:20Z

We now test for user ignore patterns before attempting to determine if a directory entry is itself a directory. As a result, we no longer abort for broken symlinks if the user has explicitly ignored them. This fixes the test added in the previous patch. It also slightly changes the debug output checked by another test of ignores.

test: Add a test for skipping ignored broken symlinks

2012-11-27T02:12:21Z

Currently marked as broken because we abort on broken symlinks, even if they are in the ignore list.

lib: Reject multi-message mboxes and deprecate single-message mbox

2012-11-27T01:12:10Z

Previously, we would treat multi-message mboxes as one giant email, which, besides the obvious incorrect indexing, often led to out-of-memory errors for archival mboxes. Now we explicitly reject multi-message mboxes. For historical reasons, we retain support for single-message mboxes, but official deprecate this behavior.

test: Test for ignoring multi-message mbox

2012-11-27T01:10:11Z

This test is currently broken. Note that its brokenness cascades and causes the next test to fail as well (because notmuch incorrectly indexes the mbox file).

test: Test notmuch new for single-message mbox

2012-11-27T01:05:15Z

We support this for historical reasons.

test: new: Fix intermittent test failures with --debug

2012-10-22T23:04:15Z

Although messages are created in a particular order, it seems that when they are created on a tmpfs, they do not always come back in the same order, leading to the same files being ignored but being output in a different order. This causes the test to fail because the outputs being compared are the same. Fix the failures by sorting the output of notmuch --debug and comparing this to a hand-sorted version of its output.

test: another test wrt ignoring user-specified files and directories

2012-10-20T20:29:00Z

Demonstrates that *every* file/directory which matches one of the values in 'new.ignore' will be ignored, independent of its depth/location in the mail store. Signed-off-by: Ethan Glasser-Camp

new: Centralize file type stat-ing logic

2012-05-25T00:53:08Z

This moves our logic to get a file's type into one function. This has several benefits: we can support OSes and file systems that do not provide dirent.d_type or always return DT_UNKNOWN, complex symlink-handling logic has been replaced by a simple stat fall-through in one place, and the error message for un-stat-able file is more accurate (previously, the error always mentioned directories, even though a broken symlink is not a directory).

test: replace occurrences of $PWD with vars that are more stable
