Juan Tejada 521ca86efc [client-app] Prevent database malformed error restart loop
Summary:
This error is can flood Sentry pretty badly: https://sentry.io/nylas/nylas-mail/issues/230629801/

My initial thought was to rate limit it, but rate limiting wouldn't
do any good because when we get that error we destroy the databases and
restart the app, and we will loose the in-memory rate limiting data.

The real fix, and reason why Sentry is being flooded with this error by
a single user, is that once you encounter this error the app will enter
a restart loop that constantly throws this error. The reason being that
we weren't properly awaiting for the K2 account databases to be dropped
before closing the app, so on restart, the database would still be
malformed.

The fix is to properly `await` for the database drops

Client Sync

This is the mail sync engine that runs within the Nylas Mail client

It is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail via the postinstall script of the root repo.

Important Usage Notes:

Since this is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail, there are a handulf of considerations when developing in client-sync. Some common gotchas:

  • You MAY use NylasEnv, NylasExports and other injected libraries in the Nylas Mail client environment.
  • You MAY use any 3rd party library declared in client-app/package.json. Since this gets added as a plugin of the Nylas Mail client, you'll have access to all libraries. This works because the client-app/node_modules was added to the global require paths. That lets us access client-app plugins without being a file directory decendent of client-app (client-sync is now a sibling of client-app)
  • You may NOT add "dependencies" to the client-sync/package.json. If you need a 3rd party library, add it to the main client-app/package.json. All Nylas Mail plugins (those inside of internal_packages), may no longer declare their own dependencies.
  • You should be aggressive at moving generic mail methods to isomorphic-core. We may eventually want to make large chunks of client-sync work in a cloud environment as well.
