Tests for maildir synchronization

test: Don't strip portions of test name after '-' for temporary files.

2010-11-10T21:09:31Z

We have test names like maildir-sync now, so it's cleaner if the temporary files created are named things like maildir-sync-10.out rather than maildir-10.out. Presumably the extra stripping here came from naming conventions in git's test suite.

test: Don't mess with user's HOME directory

2010-11-06T00:43:27Z

This was too rude of a thing to do and could easily introduce problems, (as reported by Rob Browning whose environment required some HOME-specific things for shell startup). Instead, implement more focused changes to ensure that particular file in $HOME don't cause problems. Specifically, we fix known problems with ~/.signature and ~/.mailrc here.

test: Generate a little run_emacs script to help debug any failures.

2010-11-06T00:19:51Z

After any emacs test failure, the tmp.emacs directory will have this run_emacs script in it which the user can use to run emacs within the test suite environment, (pointing at the test suite's notmuch database, using the local notmuch command-line program, and the local notmuch emacs lisp code).

test: Emit a friendly error message if run with bash < 4.0.

2010-10-28T19:07:42Z

The bash code in the test suite is using associative arrays which were only added to bash as of release 4.0. If the test suite is run with an older bash, we now immediately error out and explain the situation, (instead of emitting confusing error messages and failing dozens of tests, which is what happened before this change).

test: Set alternate HOME during tests.

2010-10-27T17:40:44Z

We set the HOME environment variable to the test directory to avoid the tests relying on any configuration files from the test author's own home directory, (such as ${HOME}/.emacs or similar).

test: Add simple tests for navigating notmuch-hello and notmuch-search views

2010-10-23T00:02:07Z

We simulate the act of selecting the "inbox" saved search from notmuch-hello and the act of selecting a desired thread from the notmuch-search results. The test for the navigation of notmuch-hello is currently marked as BROKEN since its output is in the opposite order compared to the '(notmuch-search "tag:inbox")' test. This question of ordering is a currently open issue on the notmuch mailing list, so we'll let the test suite reflect that for now. Finally, this commit also abstracts some common emacs lisp code, (waiting for the current buffer's process to complete), into a new notmuch-test-wait function that is made available to anything calling test_emacs.

test: Add a new test_expect_equal_failure

2010-10-23T00:01:34Z

Which allows us to have a known-broken test that would otherwise use test_expect_equal.

test: Add a new test_emacs function to test-lib.sh

2010-10-22T19:09:56Z

This should be quite handy for doing automated testing of the emacs-based functionality in notmuch. This function invokes emacs with the necessary command-line arguments, (to run in batch mode with no local initialization, to load the notmuch code from the source directory, and to ensure an 80-column width).

test: Fix add_email_corpus function to be quiet.

2010-10-22T19:04:41Z

This simply avoids some unneeded noise in the "make test" output.
