We are in 2011, same in .c file.

This escaping is defined in RFC3986 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt) and is implemented in GLib, see g_uri_escape_string/g_uri_unescape_string. There is also helpers for filesname to/from URI.

No need to free directory, it's NULL (remove scope after)

Ok, I'll stop there for now. I see bunch of stuff that should be rebased/squashed before asking for review. Please cleanup your patchset so every changes mean somtehing. We don't need to know about all your intermediate steps, especially for new files.

Applied just the two first fixes, I'll apply the escaping suggestion ASAP.

URL changed to another branch, rebased, stashed, etc: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/kalfa/telepathy-logger.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/pidgin_store_allinone

That should be suitable.

name and basedir are string, you don't need to do NULL check here, just free them.

"am => an" and maybe "for the LogStore's base directory" ?

I think I understand this comment but it would benefit some work.

One general style note, the number of white lines between function does not seem constant, I think it should be two.

I already mentionned this one, just to make sure you don't forget to use glib utility instead.

You need to free 'directory' inside the if. Also same thing in log_store_pidgin_get_dates().

Could you elaborate more about those, also I don't like so much this runtime if (TRUE).

Can't we get the direction here ?

It's really hugly, anything we could do about that ?

Don't forget to rebase about Emilio's refactoring.

I see this problem only in get_dates (fixed).

Not 100% accurate, direction is anyway useless and will be removed, but so far I'll set it only if is_html==TRUE, which means I can deduct the direction from the logs. Otherwise leave it to NONE.

The same is valid for tpl_entity_set_entity_type(), with the difference that, when is_html==FALSE, it's not possible to understand if the log is actually being send by SELF or not.
This for example will result in Empathy wrongly colouring the log window as it won't understand the user's log.

The way to fix it would be export symbols in a .h just for testing uses.

tp-glib has some testes that use this terrible hack, it's from which I copied it actually. It does not make it any better but I think that it can go with it.

The only side effect is that DEBUG() won't work properly with TPL_DEBUG=testsuite as DEBUG_FLAG has been set in the included file.

JFTR, when I did the log manager refactoring I noticed some symbols where in -internal.h headers just for the tests. It probably doesn't hurt to do that...

Ship it !

As the tree has changed significantly I've rebased/fixed everything. I was mainly interested in the tests with real data. So far the new test won't pass and doing this work showed me couple of things I don't like:

- Test should not output debugging by default
- Test should run with valgrind without leaks
- the dbus directoy is annoying since it's Makefile contains bunch of duplicates, I suggest using a DBUS_TEST_EXETRUABLE variable instead
- Tests should always run through the public API (yes the _aynsc/_finish)
- We should probably post-fix test program with -test instead of prefixing them
- etc.

I updated the branch, skipped couple of listed items since they can be carried later. I decided to keep the dbus folder since it's simplier.

ship it

sidenote: it was hard to see what was my bits and what yours in the logstore itself, but they seem to be ok.

Just remember (you or Emilio) to fix the use the SEARCH flag as flags, before Empathy uses them

Pushed.
