Offlineimap does strange things.

In my experience... the symptoms and errors that Cyril is reporting here in this detailed message.. are a glaring sign of a procedural codebase that has grown too big and complex for one person or group of people - to manage.  


We should seriously stop everything, and consider adding firepower to the project.

One way would be to adopt a free open source license IDE- use it to help us analyze what's actually going on- class diagrams, pyunit tests, code coverage analysis.  And refactor the codebase into testable, resilient, truly robust objects.  


One example: each IMAP mail server flavor - dovecot, exchange, cyrus, zarafa, gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc., should have its own object - derived from a base IMAPServer class- and tailored to each server's peculiarities.  OfflineIMAP will detect the type of server automatically, and we will be far more successful testing the code when we have specific objects that we adapt to the specific mail server, through unit testing, and much better error reporting and logging information.  


Etc...


Your thoughts ?

Hi,

  I'm using OfflineImap for multiple weeks currently, but recently,
    I added another account to my setup and offlineimap is now doing
    strange things.
Basically, I'm sync'ing multiple IMAP's server to a local maildir,
    and I'm using this maildir for my local imap client (thunderbird).

I've added an account from imap.laposte.net recently, and then offlineimap started doing strange thing while sync'ing this account. (You can register a test account on www.laposte.net if you need one).

Typically, the first sync (removed the account's specific folder in
    my maildir) goes perfectly, but then it fails randomly in the next
    sync. 
Also, when it doesn't fail, it deletes messages but download them
    again, and so on repeatdly.

I'm using offlineimap 6.5.4, with the patch from this mailing list
    for string formatting in python 2.6's,  where "{}" is changed to "{argumentIndex}".

I'm not able to get a debug output as offlineimap deadlock while
    syncing this account when "-d" option is given.
I'm not seeing any issues for all my other accounts.

Here's the typical output of successive run of offlineimap (no
    message where changed on the server or locally between the runs):

Sometime the error comes from LocalStatus.py, in the line that read
    "os.rename(self.filename + ".tmp", self.filename)". 
I've changed the code to get more information to read like this:
    def save(self):
        self.savelock.acquire()
        try:
            file = open(self.filename + ".tmp", "wt")
            file.write(magicline + "\n")
            for msg in self.messagelist.values():
                flags = msg['flags']
                flags = ''.join(sorted(flags))
                file.write("%s:%s\n" % (msg['uid'], flags))
            file.flush()
            if self.doautosave:
                os.fsync(file.fileno())
            file.close()
            if os.path.exists(self.filename + ".tmp"):
                os.rename(self.filename + ".tmp", self.filename)
            else:
                errstr = "Temporary file '%s' doesn't exist for
      message '%s'" % \
                    (self.filename + ".tmp", msg['uid'])
                self.ui.warn(errstr)
                # Raise the exception anyway
                os.rename(self.filename + ".tmp", self.filename)

            if self.doautosave:
                fd = os.open(os.path.dirname(self.filename),
      os.O_RDONLY)
                os.fsync(fd)
                os.close(fd)

        finally:
            self.savelock.release()

And, when the error happens here, the file that's not found is
    "~/.offlineimap/Account-StageNex/LocalStatus/dot.tmp"
Can you help me figure out the issue and solve it ?

Best regards, 
Cyril
