This function executes the provided emacs lisp script within
emacs. The script can be a sequence of emacs lisp expressions,
(that is, they will be evaluated within a progn form). The lisp
expressions can call `message' to generate output on stdout to be
examined by the calling test script.
(that is, they will be evaluated within a progn form). Emacs
stdout and stderr is not available, the common way to get output
is to save it to a file. There are some auxiliary functions
useful in emacs tests provided in test-lib.el. Do not use `setq'
for setting variables in Emacs tests because it affects other
tests that may run in the same Emacs instance. Use `let' instead
so the scope of the changed variables is limited to a single test.
