build: drop support for xapian versions less than 1.4

2020-04-24T00:28:45Z

Xapian 1.4 is over 3 years old now (1.4.0 released 2016-06-24), and 1.2 has been deprecated in Notmuch version 0.27 (2018-06-13). Xapian 1.4 supports compaction, field processors and retry locking; conditionals checking compaction and field processors were removed but user may want to disable retry locking at configure time so it is kept.

test: searching by absolute date is broken without Xapian FieldProcessor

2017-12-19T11:14:03Z

Previously, the test suite had simply silently skipped the absolute date test if we're using an archaic version of Xapian. For correctness, we should instead mark the test as broken. This also changes from string to numeric comparison when checking NOMTUCH_HAVE_XAPIAN_FIELD_PROCESSOR for consistency with other 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.

cli/search: print total number of files matched in summary output.

2017-08-02T01:17:47Z

The structured output formats already have all of the filenames. This is an easy bit of UI change to make the multiple files visible.

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.

lib: optionally support single argument date: queries

2016-05-08T11:17:07Z

This relies on the FieldProcessor API, which is only present in xapian >= 1.3.

lib: add support for date:..! to mean date:..

2015-09-26T00:55:24Z

It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date: expanding to date:.. any time soon. (This can be done with a future version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean time, provide shorthand date:..! to mean the same. This is useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of yesterday to end of yesterday. Idea from Mark Walters .

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.

test: renamed test scripts to format T\d\d\d-name.sh

2014-01-13T18:16:46Z

All test scripts to be executed are now named as T\d\d\d-name.sh, numers in increments of 10. This eases adding new tests and developers to see which are test scripts that are executed by test suite and in which order.
