Example config cannot be parsed

[rEnr3n]

I tested the config from wiki but I get this error:

$ himalaya -l trace -c test.toml
Error: cannot parse config file

Caused by:
    data did not match any variant of untagged enum DeserializedAccountConfig at line 56 column 1

The line in question is [posteo-local.mailboxes]. Anyone else got the same error?

Can you share your full configuration? Something must miss.

[rEnr3n]

I just copied the entire config from wiki.

name = "Paul DURANT"
downloads-dir = "~/Downloads"
signature = "Cordialement,\nPaul DURANT"
default-page-size = 50
watch-cmds = ["mbsync -a"]

[gmail]
default = true
email = "[email protected]"

smtp-host = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtp-port = 465
smtp-login = "[email protected]"
smtp-passwd-cmd = "pass show gmail"

imap-host = "imap.gmail.com"
imap-port = 993
imap-login = "[email protected]"
imap-passwd-cmd = "pass show gmail"

[gmail.mailboxes]
sent = "[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
draft = "[Gmail]/Drafts"

[outlook]
default-page-size = 25
signature = """

Sent from Outlook
"""

smtp-host = "smtp.office365.com"
smtp-port = 587
smtp-starttls = true
smtp-login = "[email protected]"
smtp-passwd-cmd = "security find-internet-password -gs outlook -w"

imap-host = "outlook.office365.com"
imap-port = 993
imap-login = "[email protected]"
imap-passwd-cmd = "security find-internet-password -gs outlook -w"

[posteo-local]
name = "Paul D."
downloads-dir = "~/Downloads/posteo"
email = "paul.durant@localhost"

smtp-host = "posteo.de"
smtp-port = 465
smtp-login = "[email protected]"
smtp-passwd-cmd = "security find-internet-password -gs posteo -w"

maildir-dir = "~/Maildir"

[posteo-local.mailboxes]
sent = "Sent" # will point to ~/Maildir/.Sent
draft = "~/Maildir/custom/drafts"

[soywod]

It is because the `[outlook]` section does not contain an `email` (it is a mandatory field). I will update the wiki. Thank you for pointing it out!

[rEnr3n]

It would be helpful if the required fields are marked as such.

[soywod]

Indeed, it is a very good remark! I invite you to update the wiki directly.

[rEnr3n]

I just started using it 🤷🏼‍♂️. You'll have to tell me which ones are. I quickly tested it. Let me know if I got it right.

Common required:
name
default
email
smtp-host
smtp-port
smtp-login
smtp-passwd-cmd

Required for imap only:
imap-host
imap-port
imap-login
imap-passwd-cmd

Required for maildir only:
maildir-dir

Required for notmuch only
notmuch-database-dir

[soywod]

Common required: `name` `default` `email` `smtp-host` `smtp-port` `smtp-login` `smtp-passwd-cmd`

The only global required field is name. Required common (shared) fields are email, smtp-host, smtp-port, smtp-login and smtp-passwd-cmd.

Required for imap only: `imap-host` `imap-port` `imap-login` `imap-passwd-cmd` Required for maildir only: `maildir-dir` Required for notmuch only `notmuch-database-dir`

All this is correct :)

[rEnr3n]

default is actually needed. It gave me an error when I removed it.

[soywod]

`default` is actually needed. It gave me an error when I removed it.

Can you share the config? In the code the default field is marked as optional, it should not give an error.

[rEnr3n]

name = "A"

[sample]
email = "asd"
imap-host = "asd"
imap-port = 12
imap-login = "asd"
imap-passwd-cmd = "asd"

smtp-host = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtp-port = 465
smtp-login = "[email protected]"
smtp-passwd-cmd = "pass show gmail"

[sample2]
email = "asd"
maildir-dir = "asd"

smtp-host = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtp-port = 465
smtp-login = "[email protected]"
smtp-passwd-cmd = "pass show gmail"

[sample3]
email = "asd"
notmuch-database-dir = "asd"

smtp-host = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtp-port = 465
smtp-login = "[email protected]"
smtp-passwd-cmd = "pass show gmail"

[soywod]

I think it is because of "sample3": to have access to "notmuch-database-dir" you need to compile himalaya with the "notmuch-backend" feature. Remove it and it should work without "default".

[rEnr3n]

Removed it. I still got the same error.

name = "A"

[sample]
email = "asd"
imap-host = "asd"
imap-port = 12
imap-login = "asd"
imap-passwd-cmd = "asd"

smtp-host = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtp-port = 465
smtp-login = "[email protected]"
smtp-passwd-cmd = "pass show gmail"

[sample2]
email = "asd"
maildir-dir = "asd"

smtp-host = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtp-port = 465
smtp-login = "[email protected]"
smtp-passwd-cmd = "pass show gmail"

[soywod]

Removed it. I still got the same error.

I do not have the error anymore. Which version do you use? Note that I have the "Error: cannot find default account" because you need at least one default account. Try with "himalaya -a sample" it should work.

[rEnr3n]

$ himalaya --version
himalaya 0.5.10

I had to set default when I just run himalaya -c config.toml. I could run himalaya -a sample -c config.toml when there is no default.

[soywod]

I had to set `default` when I just run `himalaya -c config.toml`. I could run `himalaya -a sample -c config.toml` when there is no `default`.

Which is the normal behaviour. Otherwise Himalaya cannot know which account to take by default.

It would be helpful if the required fields are marked as such.

Yes, it is a very good remark! I invite you to update the wiki directly.
