This is to prevent notmuch from destroying any information the user
has encoded as flags in the maildir filename. Tests are also added to
the test suite to verify the documented behavior.
Some people use notmuch with non-maildir files, (for example, email
messages in MH format, or else cool things like using sluk[*] to suck
down feeds into a format that notmuch can index).
To better support uses like that, don't do any renaming for files that
are not in a directory named either "new" or "cur".

The FCC code saves a message in maildir format, and sets the S flag by
default, so now, automatically, FCC messages will not show up as
"unread", (which seems natural enough).
There's nothing in the current API documentation that would suggest
the behavior being tested here. Attempt to implement this could have
some nasty side effects, (such as notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
implicitly calling notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags and maybe
even opening up some bad looping possibilities).
Much better to stick with what we have documented, which we believe will
actually be useful, (and easy enough to comprehend).
These needed to be changed to be brought up to the current state of
the maildir-sync tests. This includes style changes, but also the
elimination of any assumption about pre-existing message filenames,
(such as msg-003) which actually don't exist anymore.
Also, the known broken tests are changed to emit FAIL rather than
BROKEN simply to make them easier to fix, (so that they print the
current problems rather than hiding them).
Finally, an additional test is added to ensure that when a duplicate
file is added without flags, it doesn't invalidate flags from other
duplicates, (instead the flags are effectively merged).
Add maildir synchronization tests for multiple messages with the same
message-id. As this is not yet implemented in notmuch, some of these
teste are marked as BROKEN.
I use $(< ) operator to avoid fiddling with stripped trailing newlines
from test results which happens when output+=$(command) is used.
This change reworks these tests in several ways:
1. Bring tests into "new" test style preferring test_expect_equal over
test_expect_success in almost all cases.
2. Don't emit test results for intermediate items not actually being
tested, (things like "no new messages", "search for message",
etc.). Those things are already covered by existing tests such as
"basic" or "search" and only serve to obscure what's actually being
tested.
3. Change sense of the test showing failure to rename a file from
"new" to "cur" when "cur" doesn't exist.
In this case, notmuch should detect that this is not a maildir and
should not attempt to do any renaming of the file.
4. Extend dump/restore test to also exercise addition of tag, not just
removal.
Both items #3 and #4 above show shortcomings in the current
implementation. These are currently resulting in test results of FAIL
and indicate bugs that need to be fixed.
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.
This is part of an effort to avoid proliferation of excessive
top-level notmuch commands. Also, "raw" better captures the
functionality here, (as opposed to "cat" which is a fairly oblique
reference to a bad Unix abbreviation whose metaphor doesn't work here
since "notmuch cat" operates only on a single message and hence cannot
"con'cat'enate" anything).
This command outputs a raw message matched by search term to the
standard output. It allows MUAs to access the messages for piping,
attachment manipulation, etc. by running notmuch cat rather then
directly access the file. This will simplify the MUAs when they need
to operate on a remote database.

error.
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.
The original mails used to pupulate the mail corpus had had their
attachments (obnoxiously) scrubbed by the pipermail mail archiver.
Since we actually want to test the handling of attachments, this is
less than useful. Restore these files from my own collection, (with
some Received and similar headers pruned).
I still don't know everything about how I want search order to be
customizable, but I do like the current defaults, (namely, performing
a new search gives results newest first, but performing a saved search
like "tag:inbox" gives results as oldest first).
Until we come up with a better plan for people to select what *they*
want, (rather than just getting what I want), let's codify the current
results in the test suite.
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).
My scripts expect that empty search result is actually empty. Since
commit 6dcb7592, even empty search prints a newline character and this
breaks my scripts.
This patch adds a test for this bug. In the test I cannot use
test_expect_equal function as $() operator suppresses the final
newline and this kind of difference is not detected.

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).
Some recently-added tests used hard-coded thread ID values in search
specifications. This is unreliable since the thread IDs depend on the
order in which "notmuch new" encounters new files, (which in turn can
depend on inode ordering within the filesystem).
Fix these by using the new "notmuch search --output=threads" to find the
correct thread IDs given a hard-coded (but reliable) message ID.
The reply is primarily taken care of by "notmuch reply" which is already
thoroughly tested. But a recent bug is inserting a duplicate From header
in the emacs-based reply. So exercise that bug here.
Update the tests so that they no longer expect the Bcc header in the
output of "notmuch reply" now that it has been removed.
Edited-by Carl Worth: Simply applying the change to our newly
modularized test suite.
We test that the message we sent via (fake) SMTP is included in the mail
index after a "notmuch new". This verifies that the FCC setting indeed
successfully saved the sent message within the notmuch mail store.
Simply setting an explicit date is cleaner than letting the current,
(arbitrary), date get generated for the email message and then constantly
filtering that date out of search results.
Now that the FCC code is fixed to use the notmuch database path, we can
actually enable this by default, which should be highly useful for all
new users of notmuch.
Rather than *reall* sending mail here, we instead have a new test
program, smtp-dummy which implements (a small piece of) the
server-side SMTP protocol and saves a mail message to the filename
provided. This gives us reasonable test coverage of a large chunk of
the notmuch+emacs code base (down to talking to an SMTP server with
the final mail contents).
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).
If Xapian sees unquoted ".." as in id:123..456 then it thinks that's a
range specification. We avoid this problem by instead passing
id:"123..456" to Xapian.
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.
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).
While adding the documentation here for add_email_corpus I noticed
that the other email-adding functions in test-lib.sh were not yet
documented here, so add all of that documentation.
When the NOTMUCH variable was originally invented it was used as an
explicit path to the notmuch binary being tested. Today, the test
suite sets the PATH variable instead, so the NOTMUCH variable always
has a value of simply "notmuch".
We simplifying that by using the constant value rather than the
continual variable reference.
