test: support testing notmuch as installed

2023-07-21T10:41:50Z

We put some effort into testing the built copy rather than some installed copy. On the other hand for people like packagers, testing the installed copy is also of interest. When NOTMUCH_TEST_INSTALLED is set to a nonempty value, tests do not require a built notmuch tree or running configure. Some of the tests marked as broken when running against installed notmuch are probably fixable.

test: use source and build paths in T000-basic.sh

2017-10-20T22:55:41Z

Make a distinction between source and build directories.

test: check for notmuch binary in test-lib.sh

2017-10-20T22:53:31Z

Move notmuch executable check into common code. Redundant for notmuch-test runs, but works also for individual tests.

test: use $(dirname "$0") for sourcing test-lib.sh

2017-10-20T22:52:49Z

Don't assume the tests are always run from within the source tree.

test: remove remainder of previously killed basic test

2017-08-18T22:45:17Z

In the commit 51cd69feb1d131db7a468e33e0fa2e043caad41e the part of the test "test runs if prerequisite is satisfied" has been removed. However, there was a remainder of that test - variable 'haveit'. Kill it, to not to confuse people. Signed-off-by: Yuri Volchkov

test: require test_begin_subtest before test_expect_code

2017-03-09T13:03:40Z

Unify the subtests by requiring test_begin_subtest before test_expect_code. (Similar change for test_expect_success has already been done.) This increases clarity in the test scripts by having a separate line for the start of the subtest with the heading, and makes it possible to simplify the test infrastructure by making all subtests similar.

test: require test_begin_subtest before test_expect_success

2017-03-09T13:01:21Z

Unify the subtests by requiring test_begin_subtest before test_expect_success. (Similar change for test_expect_code will follow.) This increases clarity in the test scripts by having a separate line for the start of the subtest with the heading, and makes it possible to simplify the test infrastructure by making all subtests similar.

test: drop the implicit prereq check mechanism from test_expect_*

2017-03-09T13:00:16Z

The only place where we use the implicit prereq check is T000-basic.sh where we check that it works. It's an added complication that we don't use. Remove it. The test_have_prereq function can still be used for the same effect in subtests that use test_begin_subtest. For now, this will make it impossible to have prereqs in one-line subtests that don't require test_begin_subtest. This will be fixed in follow-up work.

test/T000-basic: replaced use of which(1) with shell builtin command -v

2016-10-12T01:43:17Z

Some minimal chroot/container environments don't have which(1) installed.
