test: use subtest name for generated message subject by default

2012-03-18T12:14:22Z

Before the change, messages generated by generate_message() used "Test message #N" for default subject where N is the generated messages counter. Since message subject is commonly present in expected results, there is a chance of breaking other tests when a new generate_message() call is added. The patch changes default subject value for generated messages to subtest name if it is available. If subtest name is not available (i.e. message is generated during test initialization), the old default value is used (in this case it is fine to have the counter in the subject). Another benefit of this change is a sane default value for subject in generated messages, which would allow to simplify code like: test_begin_subtest "test for a cool feature" add_message [subject]="message for test for a cool feature"

test: update tests to reflect the exclude flag

2012-03-02T12:35:02Z

notmuch show outputs the exclude flag so many tests using notmuch show failed. This commit adds "excluded:0" or "excluded: false" to the expected outputs. After this commit there should be no failing tests.

test: Remove 'broken' flag from encoding test

test: Add test for searching of uncommonly encoded messages

2012-02-29T11:34:54Z

Emails that are encoded differently than as ASCII or UTF-8 are not indexed properly by notmuch. It is not possible to search for non-ASCII words within those messages.

test: whitespace-cleanup for most test/* files

2012-01-22T13:12:12Z

Used emacs (whitespace-cleanup) function to "cleanup blank problems" in test files where that could be done without breaking tests; test/emacs was partially, and test/multipart was fully reverted.

test: Make generated message date a real date

2011-12-29T21:47:21Z

January 5, 2001 was a Tuesday, not a Friday. Jameson fixed this exact problem for the multipart test in ec2b0a98cc, but not for generate_message itself. As Jameson pointed out in ec2b0a98cc, if we want to test date parsing, we should do it separately.

test: change "#!/bin/bash" to "#!/usr/bin/env bash" enhances portability

2011-05-27T21:03:28Z

Change #!/bin/bash at start of tests to "#!/usr/bin/env bash". That way systems running on bash < 4 can prepend bash >= 4 to path before running the tests.

test: Remove useless NOTMUCH variable (in favor of simply "notmuch")

2010-09-20T23:15:08Z

When the NOTMUCH variable was originally invented it was used as an explicit path to the notmuch binary being tested. Today, the test suite sets the PATH variable instead, so the NOTMUCH variable always has a value of simply "notmuch". We simplifying that by using the constant value rather than the continual variable reference.

test: Avoid printing "Testing Testing ..."

2010-09-20T21:39:06Z

The test suite isn't auditioning for a roadie position, after all.

test: Print section names, and rename all test sections

2010-09-20T21:38:56Z

Now that we can usefully pass section names via the NOTMUCH_SKIP_TESTS environment variable, it's useful to actually print those names out for the user. Then, since we're now printing these names, let's use nicer names, (not excessively long but also not using abbreviations like "msg").
