Subject: 29.0.50; notmuch search for nnmaildir is broken
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2022 18:03:06 +0000

hi,

nnmaildir servers can be configured without apparent problem in emacs 28
(pre-release branch) with notmuch as their search engine.  for instance,
if my maildirs live in ~/var/mail and i index them with notmuch, i can
use as gnus-secondary-select-methods something like:

     ((nnmaildir ""
                 (directory "~/var/mail/")
                 (gnus-search-engine gnus-search-notmuch
                                     (remove-prefix "/home/jao/var/mail/"))))

and searches work just fine.  however, in current master, all searches
simply report, very quickly, empty results, without even logging
anything (despite gnus-verbose set to 10).

i suspect this is a side-effect of the latest fixes for AW in search
results for nnml, but i don't have time to dig deeper, sorry.

cheers,
jao

Noooooooooooooo......

Okay, that out of the way, I wonder if the fact that your server doesn't
have a "name" is causing the error. I'll try setting up something like
that locally and reporting back.

Thanks,
Eric

yes, i just tried and, if i give a name to the server, things seem to
work.  phew! it'd be nice to have it working with an empty name, but i
can certainly live with that.

many thanks for the quick response,
jao

Oh good, I'm glad it was an easy fix.

While I think empty name strings should be gently discouraged, it should
definitely still work. I'll figure out what's happened and close this
bug when I've got it.

Thanks for the report,
Eric

Bad news, I set up a nnmaildir server with a blank string for a name,
and it worked just fine. Right after you search a group and it fails,
can you show me the beginning value of this server in
`nnmaildir--servers': not the whole thing with all the message headers,
but the part that looks like:

(#1="" . #s(nnmaildir--srv :address #1# :method
			    (nnmaildir #1#
				       (directory "/tmp/emacs-gnus-mock-6ri742/test/")
				       (get-new-mail nil))
			    :prefix #1# :dir "/tmp/emacs-gnus-mock-6ri742/test/" :ls directory-files :groups #<hash-table equal 3/3 0x1588ffa44bcf> :curgrp #59=#s(nnmaildir--grp :name #7="mails" :new
