Xapian 1.4 is over 3 years old now (1.4.0 released 2016-06-24),
and 1.2 has been deprecated in Notmuch version 0.27 (2018-06-13).
Xapian 1.4 supports compaction, field processors and retry locking;
conditionals checking compaction and field processors were removed
but user may want to disable retry locking at configure time so it
is kept.
Previously, the test suite had simply silently skipped the absolute
date test if we're using an archaic version of Xapian. For
correctness, we should instead mark the test as broken.
This also changes from string to numeric comparison when checking
NOMTUCH_HAVE_XAPIAN_FIELD_PROCESSOR for consistency with other tests.
It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date:<expr> expanding to
date:<expr>..<expr> any time soon. (This can be done with a future
version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean
time, provide shorthand date:<expr>..! to mean the same. This is
useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can
use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of
yesterday to end of yesterday.
Idea from Mark Walters <markwalters1009@gmail.com>.
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.
All test scripts to be executed are now named as T\d\d\d-name.sh,
numers in increments of 10.
This eases adding new tests and developers to see which are test scripts
that are executed by test suite and in which order.
