issues

I ran against a recent note with this in it:

Or just "Actions ⚙️ "

And got back:

Actions ⚙️

Pasting that into https://ftfy.vercel.app/?s=Actions+%E2%80%9A%C3%B6%C3%B4%C3%94%E2%88%8F%C3%A8+ gives this:

python s = 'Actions â\x80\x9aöôÃ\x94â\x88\x8fè' s = s.encode('latin-1') s = s.decode('utf-8') s = s.encode('macroman') s = s.decode('utf-8') print(s)

Solution: This is likely a PYTHONPATH issue due to having pytest installed both globally and in the venv. We can guarantee the tests run by adding the current directory to sys.path automatically using

python -m pytest

The alternative is to activate the venv, install pytest, deactivate, then activate the venv again (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35045038/how-do-i-use-pytest-with-virtualenv)

Working with nested data in SQL is tricky, can I make it easier with a view or canned query?

The full body version of the notes can get HUGE, due to embedded images. It turns out for my own purposes I'm usually happy with just the plaintext version.

I'm tempted to say you don't get HTML unless you pass a --html option.

Running this script can take several hours against a large notes database.

Would be neat if it could run against just the notes that have been modified since it last ran. Could pull the max updated date and then keep on looping until it finds one modified before then.

Problem is I don't actually know what order it iterates over the notes in.

FTS would be useful.

Maybe even extract the plain text from the notes to make that index easier to create, rather than creating it against the HTML. Can use the plaintext property for that.
