From 83f531ad7ee4b9e9aacac4f45148c39101f17ab8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Walters Date: Wed, 21 May 2014 10:58:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] emacs: make sure tagging on an empty query is harmless Currently notmuch-tag throws a "wrong-type-argument stringp nil" if passed a nil query-string. Catch this and provide a more useful error message. This fixes a case in notmuch-tree (if you try to tag when at the end of the buffer). Secondly, as pointed out by David (dme) `notmuch-search-find-stable-query-region' can return the query string () if there are no messages in the region. This gets passed to notmuch tag, and due to interactions in the optimize_query code in notmuch-tag.c becomes, in the case tag-change is -inbox, "( () ) and (tag:inbox)". This query matches some strange collection of messages which then get archived. This should probably be fixed, but in any case make `notmuch-search-find-stable-query-region' return a nil query-string in this case. This avoids data-loss (random tag removal) in this case. --- emacs/notmuch-tag.el | 2 ++ emacs/notmuch.el | 6 ++++-- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch-tag.el b/emacs/notmuch-tag.el index 07c260eb..f54aa9d6 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch-tag.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch-tag.el @@ -387,6 +387,8 @@ notmuch-after-tag-hook will be run."
