Subject: nnmairix bug when searching (End of file during parsing)
Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:31:56 -0300

I configured nnmairix here, and when I try to search through my messages
it even mentions the search results, but when it tries to open the
search group to display the results, I see the "End of file during
parsing" error, and the group never gets opened.

I tried running `mairix' from the command line, with the same search,
and it succeeded (i.e., found the messages and created the symbolic
links on the Maildir-style directory).

I am using nnimap with Dovecot to access my emails.  I created the
nnmairix group using the default procedure, i.e., "G b c".

Please let me know if you need more information.

`(setq debug-on-error t)', repeat the bug and post the resulting
backtrace.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

As it turns out, setting `debug-on-error' does not have any effect.
I looked at nnmairix.el, but didn't find this message there.  I will see
if I have some time to debug this in the next days.  Meanwhile, would
you have some hints/advices for debugging this problem?

Thanks!

Well, I forgot to mention, I actually found something while looking at
the Messages buffer:

  nnmairix-request-group-with-article-number-correction: End of file during parsing

I'm using nnimap as my main backend (Dovecot), FWIW.

Hey there :-).

I still haven't had the chance to look at this bug yet :-(.  Too many
things to do!

But anyway, I'm just pinging to know if you managed to look at this
problem, and if you need some help/info from my side.

Thanks!

Hm.  That function calls `read' a few times, and it's likely that the
data there is bad.

(setq debug-ignored-errors nil
      debug-on-error t)

Should get you a backtrace when it fails.  Look in the "*mairix output*"
buffer when this happens, and post the contents of that buffer.

There's just:

  Matched 1079 messages

Not sure you wanted the backtrace as well, but here it is (it happens
when I type G b s, provide a search term, and hit RET):

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (end-of-file)

Aha.  Hm...  Aha, then it jumps to the " *nntpd*" buffer (note leading
space) and starts reading from that.  What's in that buffer when this
happens?  I would suspect nothing?

That leading whitespace was added by me, sorry.  I wanted to
contextualize the message.  But yeah, there is nothing in the *nntpd*
buffer, indeed.

And the code expects that there should be, so something is going wrong
before that code is called.  But I'm not familiar enough with the code
to see what's supposed to actually insert the data into the *nntpd*
buffer.

Anybody?

Sergio, is this still a problem or has it been fixed in the meantime?

Hey Lars,

Thanks for the ping.  I've just tried to reproduce the bug here, and it
still happens.  To be honest, I'm not going to use nnmairix anymore
(even if this bug gets fixed), so if you want to lower the priority of
this issue feel free to do so.  I can still help providing needed
information, though.

Thanks,
