From 3153bbd6a8d674362eccb4d48b8458b33298f6a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Martin Date: Sun, 21 May 2017 14:23:46 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Fetch emails right at startup instead of waiting for 10 minutes. Especially when first setting up the configuration for consuming documents from emails it makes sense to quickly test the changes. Having to wait for 10 minutes is not acceptable. There are two ways around it that come to my mind: the simple approach is to always fetch the emails when Paperless first starts. This way the fetching of emails can be tested straight away. The alternative would be to have a configuration option that allows to set the interval in which emails are checked. The user could then reduce it to test the setup and increase it again later on. This seems needlessly complicated though, so fetching at startup it is. --- src/documents/management/commands/document_consumer.py | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/documents/management/commands/document_consumer.py b/src/documents/management/commands/document_consumer.py index d3b406fe7..f50b489ee 100644 --- a/src/documents/management/commands/document_consumer.py +++ b/src/documents/management/commands/document_consumer.py @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ class Command(BaseCommand): self.file_consumer = None self.mail_fetcher = None + self.first_iteration = True BaseCommand.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs) @@ -66,6 +67,9 @@ class Command(BaseCommand): self.file_consumer.consume() # Occasionally fetch mail and store it to be consumed on the next loop + # We fetch email when we first start up so that it is not necessary to + # wait for 10 minutes after making changes to the config file. delta = self.mail_fetcher.last_checked + self.MAIL_DELTA - if delta < datetime.datetime.now(): + if self.first_iteration or delta < datetime.datetime.now(): + self.first_iteration = False self.mail_fetcher.pull()
