Hocuri ceba687df3 feat: Config option to skip seen synchronization (#7694)
At urgent request from @hpk42, this adds a config option `team_profile`.
This option is only settable via SQLite (not exposed in the UI), and the
only thing it does is disabling synchronization of seen status.

I tested manually on my Android phone that it works.

Not straigthforward to write an automatic test, because we want to test that something
does _not_ happen (i.e. that the seen status is _not_ synchronized), and
it's not clear how long to wait before we check.

Probably it's fine to just not add a test.

This is what I tried:

```python
@pytest.mark.parametrize("team_profile", [True, False])
def test_markseen_basic(team_profile, acfactory):
    """
    Test that seen status is synchronized iff `team_profile` isn't set.
    """
    alice, bob = acfactory.get_online_accounts(2)

    # Bob sets up a second device.
    bob2 = bob.clone()
    bob2.start_io()

    alice_chat_bob = alice.create_chat(bob)
    bob.create_chat(alice)
    bob2.create_chat(alice)
    alice_chat_bob.send_text("Hello Bob!")

    message = bob.wait_for_incoming_msg()
    message2 = bob2.wait_for_incoming_msg()
    assert message2.get_snapshot().state == MessageState.IN_FRESH

    message.mark_seen()

    # PROBLEM: We're not waiting 'long enough',
    # so, the 'state == MessageState.IN_SEEN' assertion below fails
    bob.create_chat(bob).send_text("Self-sent message")
    self_sent = bob2.wait_for_msg(EventType.MSGS_CHANGED)
    assert self_sent.get_snapshot().text == "Self-sent message"

    if team_profile:
        assert message2.get_snapshot().state == MessageState.IN_FRESH
    else:
        assert message2.get_snapshot().state == MessageState.IN_SEEN
```

Rust CI dependency status

The chatmail core library implements low-level network and encryption protocols, integrated by many chat bots and higher level applications, allowing to securely participate in the globally scaled e-mail server network. We provide reproducibly-built deltachat-rpc-server static binaries that offer a stdio-based high-level JSON-RPC API for instant messaging purposes.

The following protocols are handled without requiring API users to know much about them:

Installing Rust and Cargo

To download and install the official compiler for the Rust programming language, and the Cargo package manager, run the command in your user environment:

$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

On Windows, you may need to also install Perl to be able to compile deltachat-core.

Using the CLI client

Compile and run the command line utility, using cargo:

$ cargo run --locked -p deltachat-repl -- ~/profile-db

where ~/profile-db is the database file. The utility will create it if it does not exist.

Optionally, install deltachat-repl binary with

$ cargo install --locked --path deltachat-repl/

and run as

$ deltachat-repl ~/profile-db

Configure your account (if not already configured):

Chatmail is awaiting your commands.
> set addr your@email.org
> set mail_pw yourpassword
> configure

Connect to your mail server (if already configured):

> connect

Export your public key to a vCard file:

> make-vcard my.vcard 1

Create contacts by address or vCard file:

> addcontact yourfriends@email.org
> import-vcard key-contact.vcard

List contacts:

> listcontacts
Contact#Contact#11: key-contact@email.org <key-contact@email.org>
Contact#Contact#Self: Me √ <your@email.org>
2 key contacts.
Contact#Contact#10: yourfriends@email.org <yourfriends@email.org>
1 address contacts.

Create a chat with your friend and send a message:

> createchat 10
Single#Chat#12 created successfully.
> chat 12
Selecting chat Chat#12
Single#Chat#12: yourfriends@email.org [yourfriends@email.org] Icon: profile-db-blobs/4138c52e5bc1c576cda7dd44d088c07.png
0 messages.
81.252µs to create this list, 123.625µs to mark all messages as noticed.

Installing libdeltachat system wide

$ git clone https://github.com/chatmail/core.git
$ cd deltachat-core-rust
$ cmake -B build . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
$ cmake --build build
$ sudo cmake --install build

Development

# run tests
$ cargo test --all
# build c-ffi
$ cargo build -p deltachat_ffi --release

Debugging environment variables

  • DCC_MIME_DEBUG: if set outgoing and incoming message will be printed

  • RUST_LOG=async_imap=trace,async_smtp=trace: enable IMAP and SMTP tracing in addition to info messages.

Expensive tests

Some tests are expensive and marked with #[ignore], to run these use the --ignored argument to the test binary (not to cargo itself):

$ cargo test -- --ignored

Fuzzing

Install cargo-bolero with

$ cargo install cargo-bolero

Run fuzzing tests with

$ cd fuzz
$ cargo bolero test fuzz_mailparse -s NONE

Corpus is created at fuzz/fuzz_targets/corpus, you can add initial inputs there. For fuzz_mailparse target corpus can be populated with ../test-data/message/*.eml.

Features

  • vendored: When using Openssl for TLS, this bundles a vendored version.

Update Provider Data

To add the updates from the provider-db to the core, check line REV= inside ./scripts/update-provider-database.sh and then run the script.

Language bindings are available for:
