[BUG] notmuch-search: notmuch search process already running for query

[BUG] notmuch-search: notmuch search process already running for query

[Sławomir Grochowski]

Dear All,

I just have started using notmuch with Emacs.

When I run `notmuch-poll-and-refresh-this-buffer` which run script '.notmuch/hooks/pre-new':

#!/bin/sh
mbsync -L gmail

Most of the time it gives me an error & message:
"notmuch-search: notmuch search process already running for query ‘tag:inbox’".

But sometimes it works properly and I can download new emails.

So I have to run it a few times to update my emails.
It's pretty annoying.
How to fix that?

notmuch --version: notmuch 0.38.2+20~g52a5446
emacs-version: GNU Emacs 29.1.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.24, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2023-07-30

Regards,
Sławomir

I could reliably duplicate this in two ways: one is calling the function
twice in a row, like

(defun doit ()
  (interactive)
  (notmuch-poll-and-refresh-this-buffer)
  (message "completed %f" (float-time))
  (notmuch-poll-and-refresh-this-buffer))

the second way is calling

    (notmuch-poll-and-refresh-this-buffer)

or just

   (notmuch-refresh-this-buffer)

in a buffer when the search was still being loaded. That can happen with
larger searches (more than 10k threads, roughly).

Do either of those cases seem possible to you?\r
