test: remove "Generate some messages" test from raw

2012-03-18T12:14:22Z

Before the change, the first subtest in raw format tests just generated messages and checked that they are added successfully. This is not really a raw format test, it is creating of environment required for other subtests to run. The patch removes the first subtest from raw and replaces it with bare add_message calls, similar to how it is done in other tests. TODO: we should check that test environment was created successfully. Currently, many tests do add_message(), notmuch new and other calls without checking the results. We should come up with a general solution for this, i.e. if any command during test initialization fails, all tests should be skipped with appropriate error message.

test: Make generated message date a real date

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.

Rename "notmuch cat" to "notmuch show --format=raw"

This is part of an effort to avoid proliferation of excessive top-level notmuch commands. Also, "raw" better captures the functionality here, (as opposed to "cat" which is a fairly oblique reference to a bad Unix abbreviation whose metaphor doesn't work here since "notmuch cat" operates only on a single message and hence cannot "con'cat'enate" anything).
