module Redwood class SourceError < StandardError; end class Source ## Implementing a new source is typically quite easy, because Sup ## only needs to be able to: ## 1. See how many messages it contains ## 2. Get an arbirtrary message ## 3. (optional) see whether the source has marked it read or not ## ## In particular, Sup doesn't need to move messages, mark them as ## read, delete them, or anything else. (Well, at some point it will ## need to delete them, but that will be an optional capability.) ## ## On the other hand, Sup assumes that you can assign each message a ## unique integer id, such that newer messages have higher ids than ## earlier ones, and that those ids stay constant across sessions ## (in the absence of some other client going in and fucking ## everything up). For example, for mboxes I use the file offset of ## the start of the message. If a source does NOT have that ## capability, e.g. IMAP, then you have to do a little more work to ## simulate it. ## ## To write a new source, subclass this class, and implement: ## ## - start_offset ## - end_offset (exclusive!) ## - load_header offset ## - load_message offset ## - raw_header offset ## - raw_full_message offset ## - next (or each, if you prefer) ## ## ... where "offset" really means unique id. (You can tell I ## started with mbox.) ## ## You can throw SourceErrors from any of those, but we don't catch ## anything else, so make sure you catch *all* errors and reraise ## them as SourceErrors, and set broken_msg to something if the ## source needs to be rescanned. ## ## Also, be sure to make the source thread-safe, since it WILL be ## pummeled from multiple threads at once. ## ## Two examples for you to look at, though sadly neither of them is ## as simple as I'd like: mbox/loader.rb and imap.rb ## dirty? described whether cur_offset has changed, which means the ## source info needs to be re-saved to sources.yaml. ## ## broken? means no message can be loaded, e.g. IMAP server is ## down, mbox file is corrupt and needs to be rescanned, etc. bool_reader :usual, :archived, :dirty attr_reader :uri, :cur_offset, :broken_msg attr_accessor :id def initialize uri, initial_offset=nil, usual=true, archived=false, id=nil @uri = uri @cur_offset = initial_offset @usual = usual @archived = archived @id = id @dirty = false @broken_msg = nil end def broken?; !@broken_msg.nil?; end def to_s; @uri.to_s; end def seek_to! o; self.cur_offset = o; end def reset! return if broken? begin seek_to! start_offset rescue SourceError end end def == o; o.to_s == to_s; end def done?; return true if broken? begin (self.cur_offset ||= start_offset) >= end_offset rescue SourceError => e true end end def is_source_for? uri; URI(self.uri) == URI(uri); end def each return if broken? begin self.cur_offset ||= start_offset until done? || broken? # just like life! n, labels = self.next raise "no message" unless n yield n, labels end rescue SourceError => e self.broken_msg = e.message end end protected def cur_offset= o @cur_offset = o @dirty = true end def broken_msg= m @broken_msg = m # Redwood::log "#{to_s}: #{m}" end end Redwood::register_yaml(Source, %w(uri cur_offset usual archived id)) end
