test: support testing notmuch as installed

2023-07-21T10:41:50Z

We put some effort into testing the built copy rather than some installed copy. On the other hand for people like packagers, testing the installed copy is also of interest. When NOTMUCH_TEST_INSTALLED is set to a nonempty value, tests do not require a built notmuch tree or running configure. Some of the tests marked as broken when running against installed notmuch are probably fixable.

test: check for empty/missing files in test_expect_equal_message_body

2023-07-21T10:07:43Z

Messages can have empty bodies, but empty files are not messages.

test: mark some tests as broken when run as root.

2023-01-06T00:14:37Z

File permission errors e.g., are hard to trigger as root.

test: replace aging OpenPGP key used in the test suite

2022-09-23T23:16:00Z

This replaces the old OpenPGPv4 key that is used in the test suite with a more modern OpenPGPv4 key. All cryptographic artifacts in the test suite are updated accordingly. Having old cryptographic artifacts in the test suite presents a problem once the old algorithms are rejected by contemporary implementations. For reference, this is the old key. sec rsa1024 2011-02-05 [SC] 5AEAB11F5E33DCE875DDB75B6D92612D94E46381 uid [ unknown] Notmuch Test Suite (INSECURE!) ssb rsa1024 2011-02-05 [E] And this is the new key. Note that is has the same shape, but uses Ed25519 and Cv25519 instead of 1024-bit RSA. sec ed25519 2022-09-07 [SC] 9A3AFE6C60065A148FD4B58A7E6ABE924645CC60 uid [ultimate] Notmuch Test Suite (INSECURE!) ssb cv25519 2022-09-07 [E]

CLI/show: support --duplicate for structured output

2022-07-30T11:41:50Z

This introduces a new mandatory key for message structures, namely "duplicate". Per convention in devel/schemata this does _not_ increase the format version. This means that clients are responsible for checking that it exists, and not crashing if it does not. The main functional change is teaching mime_node_open to understand a 'duplicate' argument. Support for --duplicate in notmuch-reply would make sense, but we defer it to a later commit.

CL/git: add format version 1

2022-07-07T09:56:05Z

The original nmbug format (now called version 0) creates 1 subdirectory of 'tags/' per message. This causes problems for more than (roughly) 100k messages. Version 1 introduces 2 layers of hashed directories. This scheme was chose to balance the number of subdirectories with the number of extra directories (and git objects) created via hashing. This should be upward compatible in the sense that old repositories will continue to work with the updated notmuch-git.

test: define and use notmuch_sexp_*_sanitize functions

2022-07-05T10:03:37Z

These are based on the equivalent functions for json. Like those, these are pretty simple-minded, and don't really understand the syntax.

test: define test_private_C

2022-06-25T15:55:02Z

When testing error handling, it is sometimes difficult to cover a particular error path deterministically. Introduce a test function to allow calling lower level functions directly.

perf-test: allow running test_emacs from performance test suite.

2022-02-25T12:38:03Z

test_require_external prereq has to move to test-lib-common.sh, and the new shell functions print_emacs_header and time_emacs are provided. The somewhat indirect way of printing the output is to avoid the extra "" present on string values from emacsclient.

test: split variable settings to their own file

2022-02-25T12:37:14Z

This allows sharing more variable settings between the (correctness) tests and the performance-tests. Unfortunately it seems a bit tricky to move settings to test-lib-common.sh, as that is sourced late in test-lib.sh, and moving it earlier breaks things.
