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.

test/test-lib.sh: use vt100 as dtach terminal if TERM dumb or unset/empty

2013-01-24T10:59:21Z

The TERM environment variable is set to 'dumb' when running tests, but the original value of it is stored for echoing colors and running emacs (somewhat interactively) in detached session. Emacs requires some terminal control sequences to be available for interactive operation. In case original TERM is (also) 'dumb' (or unset/empty) emacs cannot run interactively. To fix this problem dtach (and emacs as it's child process) is run with TERM=vt100 in case original TERM was unset, empty or 'dumb'. This way there is a chance to run emacs tests with different user terminals and potentially find problems there.

test: normalize only message filenames in show json

2012-12-17T13:08:04Z

notmuch_json_show_sanitize replaced "filename" field values even in part structures, where the value is predictable. Make it only normalize the filename value if it is an absolute path (begins with slash), which is true of the Maildir filenames that were intended to be normalized away.

test: use perl instead of sed -r for portability

2012-12-08T13:19:34Z

Our OS X users report -r is not a supported option for sed. Use perl instead.

test: Fix UTF-8 JSON tests in Python 3

2012-12-08T13:19:34Z

test_expect_equal_json uses json.tool from the system Python. While Python 2 wasn't picky about the encoding of stdin, Python 3 decodes stdin strictly according to the environment. Since we set LC_ALL=C for the tests, Python 3's json.tool was assuming stdin would be in ASCII and aborting when it couldn't decode the UTF-8 characters from some of the JSON tests. This patch sets the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable to utf-8 when invoking json.tool to override Python's default encoding choice.

test: Use associative arrays to track external prereqs

2012-11-29T13:24:12Z

Previously, the test framework generated a variable name for each external prereq as a poor man's associative array. Unfortunately, prereqs names may not be legal variable names, leading to unintelligible bash errors like test_missing_external_prereq_emacsclient.emacs24_=t: command not found Using proper associative arrays to track prereqs, in addition to being much cleaner than generating variable names and using grep to carefully construct unique string lists, removes restrictions on prereq names.
