[PATCH 0/2] two minor fixes for new/empty nnimap group handling

[Bjørn Mork]

The recent nnimap speedups introduced a couple of regressions wrt
new and empty nnimap groups. This prevents Gnus from creating new
IMAP groups.

These two patches fix the problems for me, but are created in the
way I usually do lisp: by mindless trial and error until emacs
stops complaining. I.e., there might be much better ways to fix
this...

Anyway: Works For Me (tm)

[PATCH 1/2] nnimap.el (nnimap-request-group): don't make nil into a list

[Bjørn Mork]

(list info) creates a list even if info is nil.  The list is later
evaluated in a boolean context, expecting to detect empty input as
false.  This fails since the list is always true, resulting in
 (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

Is this related to this:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20197 ?

If so, thank you very much! I had to go back to the gnus bundled with
emacs because of these bugs.

Yes, that looks like the same issue.  I should have googled before
digging into this...  Your report would have helped if I just had gone
looking for it.

They look like they would solve it, but I'm at a very busy work time
right now and I cannot test them. Things should calm down later in the
month, and I'll give it a try.

I think it would be a good idea to also send these patches to the bug
tracker, so they don't get lost (I posted a few other IMAP related
patches about a month ago but never got any response from the
developers).

Hi Bjørn,

I'm guessing you only see this when you move a message from one group
into a non-existent group, and you're prompted to create the new group,
and it gives you an error. Is that right?

The group actually is created, it just gives an error when it's
re-selected. That's because the move/copy process doesn't automatically
subscribe to the group and register it with Gnus: if you go into the
*Server* buffer and open the group list for the server in question,
you'll see the new group there, unsubscribed.

My feeling is that groups which are created as part of the article
move/copy process should be automatically subscribed to, and registered
with Gnus (ie entered into gnus-newsrc-hashtb). That would solve this
problem, and also seems like the Right Thing to Do.

Does anyone have any opinions on this? I'll work up a patch, if not.

Eric

Yes, that's the typical situation where I see this. I didn't realise that the group isn't immediately subscribed to.

Btw, does this mean that copying to any unsubscribed group will fail, or am I misunderstanding? If not, then that doesn't seem right. I do have a couple of use cases where it makes sense to move or copy into groups which I'm not interested in subscribing to.

Sounds perfect to me. Thanks

I wasn't quite clear about the difference between subscribed and
"registered". You can copy into unsubscribed groups without any trouble.
"Registered" is a term I made up just to say that Gnus knows about the
group and is keeping track of attributes for it -- this ought to be the
case no matter what. My proposed solution would both register the group,
and subscribe it. An alternative would be to register the group and
*not* subscribe it, but given that it's got to be one or the other, I'd
lean towards subscribing.

What do you think?

I tried these two one-line patches, and they allowed me to use nnmairix
again, although it wasn't smooth.

The way nnmairix works is that it gets mairix to put the search results
in a group on another backend (nnimap in my case).  This group is *not*
subscribed or accessed directly by the user.  Instead, the nnmairix
backend has a virtual group which shows the messages in the unsubscribed
nnimap group.

To get this to work, I needed to subscribe to the (usually hidden)
nnimap group containing the search results and enter it once.  Then the
search results were visible in the nnmairix virtual group.

So something is still slightly broken, but at least this patch provides
an improvement.

This patch might offer the right solution: the group creation process
sets the subscription level for the new group. This triggers all the
necessary processes (I think) to get the group noticed by Gnus, so it
doesn't trigger errors or require you to manually enter it. The other
backends do something similar.

The patch also checks the group to see if it should be automatically
subscribed or not, so if for example you don't want these groups
subscribed (a la Dan's situation) you can mess with
`gnus-auto-subscribed-groups' as per the nnmairix manual to prevent that
from happening.

Please give this patch a whirl and see how it works.

Eric

I tried your patch after unapplying Bjøjn Mork's patch, and I got the 
same backtrace as usual, due to a nil value getting passed in.  See
below.

Then I tried applying both your patch and Mork's patch, and didn't see
any difference in behaviour compared to Mork's patch alone.  I even
deleted the imap group that nnmairix uses for its storage, in the hopes
that this would cause your new code to run, and still saw no change.
I had to manually subscribe to the group and refresh it before the
nnmairix group could be entered.

Thanks for the help so far!

Ha, well that was a bust, wasn't it? Turns out there were multiple
issues here -- the patch I sent fixed group creation via moving
messages, but nnmairix calls `nnimap-request-group' with INFO set to
nil, so Bjørn's solution was still necessary. I've made some more
adjustments to the group creation process, which I hope won't mess
anything else up. Would you mind trying these two patches?

Thanks,
Eric

Hmm, I thought I replied to this earlier in the day, but it doesn't look
like the message is there. I'm resending this just in case. It turned
out that there are several issues at play, and the fact that nnmairix
calls `nnimap-group-scan' with INFO set to nil means that Bjørn's
approach is necessary no matter what. Anyway, here are a couple of new
patches, I hope people will try them out!

I tried the two patches, without Bjørn's patches applied, and the first
hunk of your second patch didn't apply cleanly.  I applied it manually.
But now I get a different backtrace when trying to enter the group (see
below).  This is probably related to this change of Bjørn's:

            (nnimap-finish-retrieve-group-infos server (list info) sequences
                                                t)
            (setq active (nth 2 (assoc group nnimap-current-infos)))))
        (erase-buffer)
+       (or active (setq active (cons 0 0)))
        (insert (format "211 %d %d %d %S\n"
                        (- (cdr active) (car active))
                        (car active)

But I tried using Bjørn's patches instead of your second patch, and
still had some trouble.  Maybe it's something to do with the patch not
applying cleanly?  Or I might be using the wrong version of nnimap.el.
Are you using the latest git version?

Unfortunately, I don't have time to look into it further right now.

Thanks again for proposing fixes!

I pushed a small change to `nnimap-request-group' yesterday that would
have prevented the first patch from applying cleanly -- sorry, I should
have mentioned you'd need to pull again first.

I thought my changes to the group creation process would have ensured
that all new groups had an "active" entry, but I guess not.

I'd like to take one more whack at this, and then I'm going to give up
and just put Bjørn's guard in. Would you mind removing Bjørn's patches,
pulling once more, and trying these two?

Thanks!
Eric

I just tried your latest patches against the latest git version.  As
before, the problem with info being nil is handled, but active is still
nil and I get the backtrace below.  If I add Bjørn's line

+	(or active (setq active (cons 0 0)))

then the error goes away, but Gnus thinks that the group is empty
(not surprisingly), so this isn't really a solution.

I only update Gnus periodically.  I had no trouble with nnmairix 
with the 2014/10/10 version, but when I next updated on 2015/5/4
the problem started.  Would it be helpful to bisect?  Based on
"git log nnimap.el", there aren't many relevant changes, and the
ones most likely responsible are (from newer to older):

commit 10c00cefb79ea94c49a659b1f063218152e9b379
commit 04550947fe524054fdc5626ff7b342baca0c18d9
commit 1b4d1bd1ca7a32d8f9cb7c1ffe02af08f2c4b2c6
commit 062698a34df9fd679229f7dea14cfaaf408f87de
commit c2b17919646859aef0e1d329e052dadbbf042eca
commit 447c56af7cb2afac14a0f3ed23f85d907c443a5d

447c5 looks especially relevant, but seems to have been buggy since
later ones made fixes.

Could nnmairix be adjusted to make an extra call at some point to
activate the appropriate group?  Maybe it needs to call
nnimap-request-group-scan instead of nnimap-request-group, now that
447c5 changed the behaviour of the latter?

Anything else I can do to help get this working?

Re: [PATCH 0/2] two minor fixes for new/empty nnimap group handling

I forgot that I was running a wrapper around nnmairix-search that hid an
error it commonly produced.  This might explain the strange behaviour
we've been seeing.  In the past, things worked fine if I ignored this
error and just tried again to enter the group, but with the changes
to nnimap.el in the past six months, that is no longer the case.

Yeah, I think in the end nnmairix will probably have to be adjusted --
it's fallen behind in several regards, and my guess is it's just not
quite doing the right thing anymore.

Just so I'm perfectly clear: the above error is what you get without
running *any* of the patches I or Bjørn have sent, and with your wrapper
removed? Just plain vanilla Gnus?

The backtrace in the previous message was with your most recent patches
and with the line added that sets active to (0 0) if needed, but without
any wrapper.

With plain vanilla git head, and no wrapper, the backtrace is different
(see below).

It's possible that the difference might be due to restarting Gnus in
between (affecting some internal state) rather than from the patches

I think this is probably the right solution. I'm still convinced that
nnimap should do something in the group creation process to register the
group with Gnus, but you're right that your problem is likely a direct
result of "request-group" getting split into "request-group" and
"request-group-scan", and nnmairix not being edited to follow.

I'm a little bit out of my depth here, but give this patch a whirl and
see how it goes.

I'm trying to set up mairix so I can test this myself, but am having
difficulty just making it do the basics...

Dammit, I think that was wrong. Would you try it anyway, then unapply it
and try this one instead?

I tried the first, the second, and both, and didn't notice any change.
(I still had your nnimap.el patches applied as well.)

Here is the backtrace with the patch nnmairix-scan-imap-groups.patch
applied.
