Instead of reading sqlite history from a file and storing it in an in-memory
database, just directly use an on-disk database. This resolves#755, where
history entries don't pop in to the completion menu immediately as they are
still being read asynchronously for a few seconds after the browser starts.
Respond to the low-hanging code review fruit:
- Clean up some comments
- Remove an acidentally added duplicate init_autosave
- Combine two test_history tests
- Move test_init cleanup into a fixture to ensure it gets called.
- Name the _ argument of bind(_) to _key
- Ensure index is valid for first_item/last_item
- Move SqlException to top of module
- Rename test_index to test_getitem
- Return QItemFlags.None instead of None
- Fix copyright dates (its 2017 now!)
- Use * to force some args to be keyword-only
- Make some returns explicit
- Add sql to LOGGER_NAMES
- Add a comment to explain the sql escape statement
- Adjust _check_completions to work for CompletionModel and SqlCompletionModel
- Move sql initialization into a reusable fixture
- Remove the bookmark/quickmark/history stubs, as they're now handled by sql
- Disable quickmark/bookmark model tests until their completion is ported to
sql.
- Disable urlmodel tests for features that have to be implemented in SQL:
- LIMIT (for history-max-items)
- Configurable column order (for quickmarks)
- Configurable formatting (for timestamp-format
When qutebrowser starts, it creates an in-memory sqlite database. One
can instantiate a SqlTable to create a new table in the database. The
object provides an interface to query and modify the table.
This intended to serve as the base class for the quickmark, bookmark,
and history manager objects in objreg. Instead of reading their data
into an in-memory dict, they will read into an in-memory sql table.
Eventually the completion models for history, bookmarks, and quickmarks
can be replaced with SqlQuery models for faster creation and filtering.
