Sup doesn't find any sent mails anymore

[fxkr]

Hi,

to test #450 I used the git version and promptly ran into #467. Luckily I had a backup of my config.yaml. But now, when I send a mail, it doesn't show up in sup anymore.

If someone replies, my mail will show up as <an unreceived message>. If it's an older message it'll show it as Sup Auto-generated Fake Sender. I tried running sup-sync and now my inbox is empty. Nooooo! Additionally, it says Searching for threads... now, and if I press any key it crashes:

--- RuntimeError from thread: load threads for thread-index-mode

I have :sent_source: sup://sent in config.yaml, and here's my sources.yaml:

---
- !supmua.org,2006-10-01/Redwood/Maildir
  uri: maildir:///~/.mail
  usual: true
  archived: false
  sync_back: true
  id: 1
  labels: []
- !supmua.org,2006-10-01/Redwood/SentLoader {}

Help?

Could be related to #467

[gauteh]

Ah, I saw you noticed that already. Did you find the new sources.yaml and config.yaml in .config/sup/? The sent.mbox should be in .local/share/sup/.

The config.yaml and sources.yaml you describe, are they in .config/sup?

[fxkr]

I found sources.yml and config.yaml in .config/sup/, but they seemed to be default files. I restored these from a backup before starting sup again.

[gauteh]

Is sent.mbox in .local/share/sup ?

[fxkr]

Yes, but it's empty.

[gauteh]

@ZJvandeWeg: #401 ping!

[gauteh]

Ok. Is the old one still in ~/.sup ?

[fxkr]

I'm not sure if it was. It isn't now, but I'm not absolutely sure anymore how I got to that state. (Good that I have a global shell history...)

(I tried to go back to the non-git version, though I think I made things worse. Damn.)

[gauteh]

If you go back, you need to restore all the files to ~/.sup.

There was a question when you started the git version the first time, about what to do about the configs. What did you answer there?

[fxkr]

Yes, that's what I tried - starting with an empty ~/.sup, merging .local/share/sup and .config/sup into ~/.sup. I'm sure I didn't overwrite any files at that point (mv -i). My ~/.sup/sent.mbox is empty now, but it came from ~/.local/share/sup/.

y.

[gauteh]

Weird... @ZJvandeWeg: Is there a race condition where sources and configs are instantiated before the copy, then written after the copy - effectively resetting them?

[ZJvandeWeg]

Im unsure how all the files, config, sources and mbox are reset to the default. These should have been copied. I would agree there is a race condition. Will look into that later

[gauteh]

This and #467 is critical. I have reverted the xdg patches and put them in the xdg branch, for git testers: please move all the content of .config/sup/* and .local/share/sup/* back to ~/.sup.

@ZJvandeWeg: We need more testing on this before we can keep it in develop, we can't risk more data loss.
