test: Nix increment_mtime.

With the fix for the mtime race, this workaround is no longer necessary.

test: use emacsclient(1) for Emacs tests

2011-06-29T00:10:55Z

Before the change, every Emacs test ran in a separate Emacs instance. Starting Emacs many times wastes considerable time and it gets worse as the test suite grows. The patch solves this by using a single Emacs server and emacsclient(1) to run multiple tests. Emacs server is started on the first test_emacs call and stopped when test_done is called. We take care not to leave orphan Emacs processes behind when test is terminated by whatever reason: Emacs server runs a watchdog that periodically checks that the test is still running. Some tests need to provide user input. Before the change, this was done using echo(1) to Emacs stdin. This no longer works and instead `standard-input' variable is set accordingly to make `read' return the appropriate string.

test: Increment mtime when delivering a message with emacs_deliver_message

2011-06-29T00:10:55Z

Without this, mail messages delivered by emacs_deliver_message might not be seen by the next invocation of "notmuch new", (which can lead to test-suite failures if emacs_deliver_message is fast enough).

test:Improve test behaviors when --root is used

2011-06-28T23:01:56Z

Change add_email_corpus, emacs_deliver_message and tests to use $TEST_DIRECTORY instead of '..'. This improves the behavior of the usage of --root=, as the assumption of what '..' means will usually be incorrect. Document -root option in README and update valgrind to work with -root.

test: generate run_emacs script once on test startup

2011-06-28T22:06:47Z

Instead of generating auxiliary run_emacs script every time test_emacs is run, do it once in the beginning of the test. Also, use absolute paths in the script to make it more robust.

test: set variables using `let' instead of `setq' in Emacs tests

2011-06-28T22:06:47Z

Using `setq' for setting variables in Emacs tests affect other tests that may run in the same Emacs environment. Currently it works because each test is run in a separate Emacs instance. But in the future multiple tests will run in a single Emacs instance. The patch changes all variables to use `let', so the scope of the change is limited to a single test.

test: wrap and indent test_emacs calls

2011-06-28T22:06:47Z

Most test_emacs calls have long arguments that consist of many expressions. Putting them on a single line makes it hard to read and produces poor diff when they are changed. The patch puts every expression in test_emacs calls on a separate line.

test: cleanup test_emacs

2011-06-28T22:06:47Z

Move auxiliary function definition and configuration from command line to test-lib.el.

test: do not set `message-signature' in test_emacs

2011-06-28T22:06:47Z

It is no longer needed since tests are run in a temporary home directory instead of the user's one.
