test: Add `test_emacs_expect_t'.

2012-01-25T11:25:44Z

Add a new test function to allow simpler testing of emacs functionality. `test_emacs_expect_t' takes one argument - a lisp expression to evaluate. The test passes if the expression returns `t', otherwise it fails and the output is reported to the tester.

Document external dependencies in the test suite

2012-01-21T12:28:47Z

Add an explicit note to the README explaining what programs are necessary and the perhaps-surprising behavior of skipping tests if they aren't present. Signed-off-by: Ethan Glasser-Camp

test: allow user to choose which emacs to run tests with.

2011-12-28T19:50:04Z

As we start to pay more attention to emacs24, it helps to be able to select a different version of emacs to run the tests with to verify version specific bugs. A separate variable TEST_EMACS is needed to avoid being overwritten by the make variable EMACS in Makefile.config For what it's worth, the value of emacs is chosen at the time tmp.emacs/run_emacs is created, so is fixed for all subtests.

test: add functions to count how much times notmuch was called

2011-12-08T00:03:00Z

The patch adds two auxiliary functions and a variable: notmuch_counter_reset $notmuch_counter_command notmuch_counter_value They allow to count how many times notmuch binary is called. notmuch_counter_reset() function generates a script that counts how many times it is called and resets the counter to zero. The function sets $notmuch_counter_command variable to the path to the generated script that should be called instead of notmuch to do the counting. The notmuch_counter_value() function returns the current counter value.

test: add test-binaries target

2011-12-06T13:37:44Z

The goal here is to have a simple way of making sure all of the binaries needed to run tests are available.

test: remove documentation for test_expect_equal_failure.

2011-09-10T17:54:56Z

The actual function was deleted in commit 4cc67276

test: improve known broken tests support

2011-09-10T13:13:27Z

There is existing support for broken tests. But it is not convenient to use. The primary issue is that we have to maintain a set of test_expect_*_failure functions which are equivalent to the normal test_expect_* counterparts except for what functions are called for result reporting. The patch adds test_subtest_known_broken function which marks a subset as broken, making the normal test_expect_* functions behave as test_expect_*_failure. All test_expect_*_failure functions are removed. Test_known_broken_failure_ is changed to format details the same way as test_failure_ does. Another benefit of this change is that the diff when a broken test is fixed would be small and nice. Documentation is updated accordingly.

test: update documentation for test_emacs in test/README

2011-09-10T13:12:03Z

Update test_emacs documentation in test/README according to the latest changes in emacs tests. Move the note regarding setting variables from test/emacs to test/README.

test: document test_expect_equal_file

2011-06-29T22:36:43Z

This test was not properly documented when it was originally added (my bad).

test:Improve test behaviors when --root is used

2011-06-28T23:01:56Z

Change add_email_corpus, emacs_deliver_message and tests to use $TEST_DIRECTORY instead of '..'. This improves the behavior of the usage of --root=, as the assumption of what '..' means will usually be incorrect. Document -root option in README and update valgrind to work with -root.
