The add_email_corpus test utility includes logic that tries to re-use
an index of the corpus if available. This was seemingly done as an
optimization, so that every test that uses the corpus didn't have to
create it's own index of the corpus. However, this has the perverse
side effect of entangling tests together, and breaks parallelization.
Forcing each test to do it's own index does increase the overall time
of the test slightly (~6%), but this will be more than made up for in
the next patch that introduces paraellization.
b31e44c678 introduced message-id-parse
as a new binary created by the test suite. It shows up as something
additional to git, but git ought to know to ignore it.
A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the
path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files
only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory.
Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent
accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly
improve the performance of "git status".
971cdc72cd renamed corpus.mail to
corpora.mail. Although 971cdc72cd
updated some of the remaining corpus.mail references, two remained,
causing the test suite to leave behind an unignored corpora.mail
directory.
Initial use case is testing dump and restore, so we only have
message-ids and tags.
The message ID's are nothing like RFC compliant, but it doesn't seem
any harder to roundtrip random UTF-8 strings than RFC-compliant ones.
Tags are UTF-8, even though notmuch is in principle more generous than
that.
updated for id:m2wr04ocro.fsf@guru.guru-group.fi
- talk about Unicode value rather some specific encoding
- call talloc_realloc less times
If symbol-test is built in symbol-hiding with hardcoded g++ invokation,
it's not so easy to pass $(srcdir) which is required to find notmuch.h
when srcdir and builddir are separate directories.
When a test fails, a tmp.<testname> file is left behind. These files
are useful for the person debugging the test failure, but are never
anything we want to commit.
Edited-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Changed from tmp.emacs to
tmp.* and added explanation in the commit message.
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).
This makes the new, git-derived test suite report results in a manner
similar to the original notmuch test suite.
Notable changes include:
* No more initial '*' on every line
* Only colorize a single word
* Don't print useless test numbers
* Use "PASS" in place of "ok"
* Begin sentences with a capital letter
* Print test descriptions for each block
* Separate each block of tests with a blank line
* Don't summarize counts between each block
