Alternative to https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/8355/, fixes https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/8329 This fixes the following bug: Scanning QR for existing contact doesn't update relay list Two chat partners suddenly lost connectivity to all of their relays. They added another relay, which is accessible, and set it as main. Of course, they still couldn't communicate, because there was no way to announce a new relay list to each other (clients know only about old relays so they try to send updates there). That's why the friends used a different channel (e.g. met IRL) to send their QR codes once again. Expected behavior: They would expect that clients update their relay lists according to the contact info inside the QR codes, and they can continue talking in Delta. Actual behavior: But Delta Chat client doesn't update a list of announced relays on scanning a QR in case a contact already exists. It simply opens the existing chat without altering any contact info. --------- Co-authored-by: holger krekel <holger@merlinux.eu>
Delta Chat RPC python client
RPC client connects to standalone Delta Chat RPC server deltachat-rpc-server
and provides asynchronous interface to it.
rpc.start() performs a health-check RPC call to verify the server
started successfully and will raise an error if startup fails
(e.g. if the accounts directory could not be used).
Getting started
To use Delta Chat RPC client, first build a deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server
or download a prebuilt release.
Install it anywhere in your PATH.
Create a virtual environment if you don't have one already and activate it.
$ python -m venv env
$ . env/bin/activate
Install deltachat-rpc-client from source:
$ cd deltachat-rpc-client
$ pip install .
Testing
- Build
deltachat-rpc-serverwithcargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server. - Install tox
pip install -U tox - Run
CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=ci-chatmail.testrun.org PATH="../target/debug:$PATH" tox.
Additional arguments to tox are passed to pytest, e.g. tox -- -s does not capture test output.
Activating current checkout of deltachat-rpc-client and -server for development
Go to root repository directory and run:
$ scripts/make-rpc-testenv.sh
$ source venv/bin/activate
Using in REPL
Setup a development environment:
$ tox --devenv env
$ . env/bin/activate
$ python
>>> from deltachat_rpc_client import *
>>> rpc = Rpc()
>>> rpc.start()
>>> dc = DeltaChat(rpc)
>>> system_info = dc.get_system_info()
>>> system_info["level"]
'awesome'
>>> rpc.close()
