startup crash: conversion of data to type "b" failed #546

Not very important as surely updating my config would solve it but just in case:

If you have a very old version of the config we stopped supporting conversion. In the new config you only need to specify the values that you change from the default. So basically just accounts to get started. Long time since running astroid? :) Otherwise, I need a backtrace or some more information to figure out which config value caused the crash.

I generated a new config but still get

I just tried with this config on v0.13 and did not get any errors. Could it be something in your notmuch-config? I can't see the line-numbe in Db::init() in the trace you sent. Might need to do a Debug build if we don't find the source of the issue elsewhere.

gauteh · 2018-09-01T15:53:38Z

In your notmuch config, do you have a section like this: ``` [maildir] synchronize_flags=true ``` ?

teto · 2018-09-01T16:03:03Z

Yes synchronize_flags = True ! setting it to false prevents the crash (but I would prefer the setting to be true).

I think you have to use lowercase "true" and also no ";".

...and not "True" According to doc https://notmuchmail.org/manpages/notmuch-config-1/ It also causes a crash in astroid : astroidmail/astroid#546

I'm guessing that solved it :) closing.
