test: remove call to notmuch-hello from emacs_deliver_message

2013-12-22T12:44:45Z

There is an obscure bug in notmuch-hello that very occasionally causes emacs_deliver_message to fail. Since it it doesn't serve any actual purpose in the function we delete it, and leave tracking down the the bug for another day.

test: add emacs_fcc_message that does not use smtp-dummy

2013-12-22T12:44:44Z

Most of the tests previously using emacs_deliver_message do not use the actual transmitted message, so we replace it with a simpler (and presumably more reliable function) that only saves (and indexes) an fcc copy of the message.

test: give unique timestamps to messages

2013-12-09T13:20:28Z

The choice of decreasing timestamps is a hack which reduces the number of existing tests which fail. This can be changed to increasing if/when somebody wants update another 47 tests.

test: sanitize dates in emacs, raw, and text output

2013-12-09T13:20:27Z

add a new function notmuch_date_sanitize for rfc822-ish things. Add date sanitization to notmuch_show_sanitize_all and use it more places. This is all in aid of a transition to unique timestamps on messages.

test: sanitize Date and timestamp fields in json

2013-12-09T13:20:27Z

Eventually we want test messages to have distinct dates to avoid reproducability problems. This sanitization will prevent some test failures when that change is made. Replace the use of a local function in maildir-sync with notmuch_json_show_sanitize

test: replace $PWD with YYY in emacs & emacs-show tests

2013-11-24T00:25:29Z

When executed command line is written to *Notmuch errors* buffer, shell-quote-argument will backslash-escape any char that is not in "POSIX filename characters" (i.e. matching "[^-0-9a-zA-Z_./\n]"). Currently in two emacs tests shell has expanded $PWD as part of emacs variable, which will later be fed to #'shell-quote-argument and finally written to ERROR file. If $PWD contained non-POSIX filename characters, data in ERROR file will not match $PWD when later comparing in shell. Therefore, in these two particular cases the escaped $PWD is replaced with YYY in ERROR file and expected content is adjusted accordingly.

test: set mail host in emacs_deliver

2013-10-14T11:23:07Z

One test (reply to encrypted message in the crypto test) recently started failing on some systems. The failure I saw were two extra lines of the form <87d2nbc5xg.fsf@host.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me> The test pipes the output through grep -v -e '^In-Reply-To:' -e '^References:' which would normally these two ids but it does not, in this case, because they are so long they get put on a separate line in the output. To fix this we set mail-host-address for emacs deliver. example.com seems a sensible address to use. This is short enough that we don't get the line breaks above and the tests then all pass.

test: unset 'xpg_echo' bash shell option

2013-09-09T01:42:12Z

When 'xpg_echo' bash shell option is unset (usually the default) echo builtin does not expand backslash-escape sequences by default (i.e. '\n' is echoed as '\n' instead of newline). Not all bash installations have this feature we depend on activated by default. Note that the feature is bash (and GNU /bin/echo) specific. It is used as it is convenient. If portability is needed (elsewhere) use printf(1) (also often available as a shell builtin).

test/test-lib.sh: separate signaled exit

2013-02-19T00:17:17Z

When execution of tests is interrupted by signal coming outside of the test system itself, output just one line "interrupted by signal " message to standard output. This distinguishes the case from internal exit and reduces noise.

test/test-lib.sh: use $test_subtest_name in all tests

2013-02-19T00:17:05Z

Set the variable '$test_subtest_name' in all functions which starts a new test and use that variable in all functions that output test results. Additionally output the latest '$test_subtest_name' in case of abnormal exit, to avoid confusion.
