test: make script exit (1) if it "fails" to source (.) a file

2015-08-07T19:56:39Z

The files (test) scripts source (with builtin command `.`) provides information which the scripts depend, and without the `source` to succeed allowing script to continue may lead to dangerous situations (e.g. rm -rf "${undefined_variable}"/*). At the end of all source (.) lines construct ' || exit 1' was added; In our case the script script will exit if it cannot find (or read) the file to be sourced. Additionally script would also exits if the last command of the sourced file exited nonzero.

test: change "#!/bin/bash" to "#!/usr/bin/env bash" enhances portability

2011-05-27T21:03:28Z

Change #!/bin/bash at start of tests to "#!/usr/bin/env bash". That way systems running on bash < 4 can prepend bash >= 4 to path before running the tests.

test: Better handling of stdout and stderr

2010-11-16T19:28:06Z

Git-style tests (test_expect_success etc.) suppress stdout and stderr unless -v is given. Notmuch-style tests (created by test_begin_subtest and test_expect_equal) do not have this behavior so implement it the same. Additionally, for both test styles, the test-lib.sh is changed so that the content of suppressed stdout and stderr is shown in case of failed test. Finally a test for this functionality is added to basic tests.
