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: clean up some extra whitespace.

The extra space is mainly just untidy.

cli: some keyword options can be supplied with no argument

2017-12-29T20:45:35Z

We might change some notmuch command line tools that used to be booleans into keyword arguments. In that case, there are some legacy tools that will expect to be able to do "notmuch foo --bar" instead of "notmuch foo --bar=baz". This patch makes it possible to support that older API, while providing a warning and an encouragement to upgrade.

test: expand argument parsing sanity checks

2017-12-13T12:31:03Z

Test the various boolean formats and --no- prefixed boolean and keyword flag arguments.

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: expand argument parsing tests

2017-10-05T01:01:50Z

Test and use the new .present field, only output the parameters given. Test space between parameter name and value.

test: add boolean argument to arg-test

2017-10-05T01:00:54Z

Surprisingly it's not there.

test: standardize argument order to test_expect_equal_file

2017-04-06T17:37:02Z

It is annoying to debug failing tests when the interpretation of the diffs is reversed for some tests.

test: make script exit (1) if it "fails" to source (.) a file

2015-08-07T19:56:39Z

The files (test) scripts source (with builtin command `.`) provides information which the scripts depend, and without the `source` to succeed allowing script to continue may lead to dangerous situations (e.g. rm -rf "${undefined_variable}"/*). At the end of all source (.) lines construct ' || exit 1' was added; In our case the script script will exit if it cannot find (or read) the file to be sourced. Additionally script would also exits if the last command of the sourced file exited nonzero.
