Bug#983365: linphone-desktop: chat messages

[Dennis Filder]

I haven't found the bug yet, but at least somewhat cornered in
linphone-desktop/linphone-app/src/components/chat/ChatModel.cpp in
ChatModel::setSipAddress():

...
 for (auto &message : mChatRoom->getHistory(0))
    mEntries << qMakePair(
      QVariantMap{
        { "type", EntryType::MessageEntry },
        { "timestamp", QDateTime::fromMSecsSinceEpoch(message->getTime() * 1000) }
      },
      static_pointer_cast<void>(message)
    );
...

The call to mChatRoom->getHistory(0) should return a list of pointers
to all messages in that chatroom (peerAddress, localAddress) to
iterate over, but it returns nothing, even though it should.

Finding that out is going to be difficult because linphone-desktop
invokes the DB code through C++ wrappers around C bindings which are
written against the C++ code in
liblinphone/-/blob/master/src/db/main-db.cpp.  I'll try next to get
the liblinphone test suite to run, and hopefully it will produce a
failure that is easier to debug.

Dennis.
