From 91311854173c06b5007302341fcf1840585d9d37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Danilo M." Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 08:53:13 +0200 Subject: feat(ui): let the user choose newest or oldest first Two entries, straight to notmuch. This adds a feature rather than replacing one: the column header was decorative and nothing implemented click-to-sort, so removing the header with the grid lost nothing. Stored in uistate.conf, never in the hand-edited config, and range-guarded on read: a stale file can hold anything, which is the lesson item 58 recorded. SortOrder needed qRegisterMetaType despite carrying Q_ENUM. Q_ENUM gives the enum a meta-object entry, not a metatype registered under the name invokeMethod resolves, so the queued runQuery would have dropped its sort argument at runtime and every query would have silently run newest-first. Nothing in the suite exercises a real worker thread, so this was asserted directly rather than left to a warning nobody would see. It is registered beside the type rather than in MainWindow's constructor: a first attempt put it there and passed only because the test that catches it never constructs a MainWindow. The account dropdown's entries now carry their account's colour as a swatch, which is what makes the accent bar on a card mean anything: a colour down a card's edge says nothing until something maps it to a name. Raw colour here rather than the blended line colour, since a swatch is a filled patch like a chip rather than a thin line. Its test builds its own two-account config: reading the environment's made it SKIP wherever no accounts are configured, which is a test that asserts nothing while reporting success. --- src/notmuchworker.cpp | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/notmuchworker.cpp') diff --git a/src/notmuchworker.cpp b/src/notmuchworker.cpp index a6b0a29..d34c032 100644 --- a/src/notmuchworker.cpp +++ b/src/notmuchworker.cpp @@ -119,9 +119,25 @@ void walkReplies(notmuch_messages_t *messages, int depth, } // namespace +/// Registers SortOrder for queued calls, once, before main() runs. +/// +/// Q_ENUM alone is NOT enough for a queued Q_ARG: it gives the enum a +/// meta-object entry, not a metatype registered under the name invokeMethod +/// resolves, so MainWindow's queued runQuery would drop its sort argument at +/// runtime with a warning and every query would silently run newest-first. +/// +/// Here rather than in MainWindow's constructor, because the registration +/// belongs to the type rather than to one consumer: a caller that never +/// constructs a MainWindow (a test, or a future headless mode) needs it too, +/// and that is exactly how the first attempt at this passed by accident and +/// failed under test. +static const int kSortOrderMetaType = + qRegisterMetaType("NotmuchWorker::SortOrder"); + NotmuchWorker::NotmuchWorker(const QString ¬muchConfigPath, QObject *parent) : QObject(parent), m_configPath(notmuchConfigPath) { + Q_UNUSED(kSortOrderMetaType); } NotmuchWorker::~NotmuchWorker() -- cgit v1.2.3
