Juan Tejada 590b17ae6f [client-app] Don't imeout removing sync worker when removing an account
Summary:
Most of the times when removing a sync worker (i.e. when removing an
account), we would see database errors in the console. This happened
because more often than not we would interrupt in the middle of message
processing, but `processMessage` is not interruptible, which means that
the worker would be interrupted right after processing its current
message. However, if `processMessage` would take more than 500ms (the
current timeout for stopping the worker), we would destroy the database
before processing was done and it would throw a bunch of errors.

To fix this, we just don't set a timeout when removing the worker as a consequence
of removing an account. However, when we are removing the worker when we
detect that it is stuck, we set a time out of 5 seconds.

Test Plan: manually test removing accounts, verify that it doesn't error

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.
