How define sieve_global_dir in dovecot's sieve-test

  • 772

I created a few sieve (dovecot implementation) filter scripts and want to test them using sieve-test.

All scripts which are using global includes are failing with the following message

Error: sieve: include: sieve_global_dir not set for :global script include (wanted script 'bugzilla.sieve')

The sieve_global_dir is set in dovecot.conf and the include works when started by deliver.

How to define sieve_global_dir that it is read by sieve-test and sievec?

Thanks in advance

    According to parts of the wiki and reading a little source code from dovecot.org:

    http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot

    ...you should be able to do something like:

    export SIEVE_DIR=/some/path
export SIEVE_GLOBAL_DIR=/some/other/path
sievec -d -P /some/file.sieve

    The source is complicated, but if I read the Pigeonhole sieve sources correctly the lib-sieve/plugins/environment/ code will read in anything you define, and sievec has checks for setting these two values out of the environment when run. I can't confirm this though as I don't have it installed to test, YMMV.

  2. Sorry but i don't think the solution is right.

    In dovecot 2.x.x doing

    export SIEVE_GLOBAL_DIR=/some/other/path

    won't work.

    i have added the following line to the dovecot.conf file (inside the plugin section):

    sieve_global_dir=/etc/dovecot/sieve/

    And every think works!

    Obviously that path must contain a sieve.global file.

    Thank you.
