Subject: Bug report: B c nnfolder:foo doesn't work
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 22:55:36 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874rowi5yv.fsf@squeaker.lickey.com> (raw)
I have these settings, which may be relevant to this bug:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nntp "news.speakeasy.net")))
So, my primary select method is nnml and most e-mail is stored in nnml
groups. I am using yesterday's CVS.
Today, for the heck of it, I decided to create a nnfolder group to
store some e-mail with good ideas in it. So I did:
B c
And entered "nnfolder:ideas" as the group name and Gnus says it saved
it off okay. What follows was screwy:
- The Mail/ideas and Mail/ideas.nov file were created correctly, as
was an entry in the Mail/active file: "ideas 1 1 y".
- In addition, an empty file Mail/archive/ideas was created, as was
a Mail/archive/ideas.mrk file. Mail/archive/active contains
"ideas 0 1 y".
- The following three entries are placed in gnus-newsrc-alist:
("ideas" 3 nil nil)
("nnfolder+archive:ideas" 3 nil nil
(nnfolder "archive"
(nnfolder-directory "~/g/Mail/archive")
(nnfolder-active-file
"~/g/Mail/archive/active")
(nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
(nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))
("nnfolder:ideas" 3 nil nil "archive")
When I exit and re-load Gnus, I get:
Signaling: (file-error "Opening output file" "not a directory" "/home/matt/g/Mail/ideas/.marks")
write-region(1 10 "/home/matt/g/Mail/ideas/.marks" nil 0)
byte-code(<snip>)
nnml-save-marks("ideas" "")
nnml-open-marks("ideas" "")
nnml-request-update-info("ideas" ("ideas" 3 nil nil) "")
gnus-get-unread-articles(nil)
gnus-setup-news(nil nil nil)
byte-code(<snip>)
gnus-1(nil nil nil)
gnus()
(if buffer (switch-to-buffer buffer) (gnus))
(let ((buffer ...)) (if buffer (switch-to-buffer buffer) (gnus)))
my-goto-gnus()
call-interactively(my-goto-gnus)
In addition, the "ideas" folder doesn't show up with an nnfolder:
prefix in the group list.
Clearly, the fact that this is an nnfolder group and not an nnml group
got lost at some point.
Please let me know if I can help debug this any further!
