We put some effort into testing the built copy rather than some
installed copy. On the other hand for people like packagers, testing
the installed copy is also of interest.
When NOTMUCH_TEST_INSTALLED is set to a nonempty value, tests do not
require a built notmuch tree or running configure.
Some of the tests marked as broken when running against installed
notmuch are probably fixable.
notmuch-test will now call aggregate-results.sh with file list
that it compiles based on the test ran, and aggregate-results
will report failure is any of the test files are missing.
With this notmuch-test no longer has to exit in non-parallel
run if some test fail to write its report file -- so it works
as parallel tests in this sense.
Changed test_done() in test-lib.sh write report file in one write(2),
so there is (even) less chance it being partially written. Also,
now it writes 'total' last and aggregate-results.sh expects this
line to exist in all report files for reporting to be successful.
Added 'set -eu' to notmuch-test and modified code to work with
these settings. That makes it harder to get mistakes slipped
into committed code.
The lastest versions of GNU parallel no longer make mention of GNU
within their help output. This causes the test script to mistakenly use
the moreutils parallel execution. In order to fix this, while
maintaining compatibility with previous versions of GNU parallel,
--version should be used.

In certain cases of test suite failure, the summary report was not
being printed. In particular, any failure on the parallel test suite,
and any aborted test in the serialized test suite would end up hiding
the summary.
It's better to always show the summary where we can (while preserving
the return code). If we do abort due to this high-level failure,
though, we should also announce to the user that we're doing so as
close to the end of the process as possible, to make it easier to find
the problem.

To aid in diagnosing test suite tooling that interacts poorly with
coreutils' timeout, it's handy to be able to bypass it entirely.

Done via $COLORS_WITHOUT_TTY environment variable as passing options
to commands through parallel(1) does not look trivial.
Reorganized color checking in test-lib.sh a bit for this (perhaps
were not fully necessary but rest still an improvement):
- color checking commands in subshell are not run before arg parsing
(args may disable colors with --no-color)
- [ -t 1 ] is checked before forking subshell
When a parallel build fails (or when it times out, if timeout is
present), the test suite should not blithely succeed. Catch these
failures and at least report them.

The current 2 minute timeout is reasonable, but to exercise the test
suite or induce timeout failures, we might want to make it shorter.
This makes it configurable so you can run (for example):
make check NOTMUCH_TEST_TIMEOUT=10s
We stick with the default of 2m.

If either the moreutils or GNU parallel utility are available, run all
tests in parallel. On my eight core machine this makes for a ~x7
speed-up in the full test suite (1m24s -> 12s).
The design of the test suite makes this parallelization trivial.
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.
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.
A few simple things that applies well to test/notmuch-test.sh
- Shell does pathname expansion also without doing `echo ...` in subshell.
- Redirections >/dev/null 2>/dev/null hide (improbable but) potential
serious errors; adding -f to rm instead.
- Inter-file capitalization consistency in comments.
- Unnecesary space removal.
Files in test directories had only copyright of a single individual,
of which code was adapted here as a base of the test system.
Since then many Notmuch Developers have contributed to the test
system, which is now acknowledged with a constant string in some
of the test files.
The README file in test directory instructed new files contain a
copyright notice, but that has never been done (and it is also not
needed). To simplify things a bit (and lessen confusion) this
instruction is now removed.
As a side enchangement, all of the 3 entries in the whole source
tree cd'ing to `dirname` of "$0" now uses syntax cd "$(dirname "$0")".
This makes these particular lines work when current working directory
is e.g. /c/Program Files/notmuch/test/.
(Probably it would fail elsewhere, though.)
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.
In preparation for quiet mode print empty line before writing the
test description. This is done now in function designed for it --
it will also be called when test fails.
If any of the tests in our test system is not passing the execution
of the test suite completes with nonzero exit value.
It is better to rely on the exit value of the test system instead
of some arbitrary strings in test output (or use both).
Previously, if a test script aborted (e.g., because it passed too few
arguments to a test function), the test driver loop would simply
continue on to the next test script and the final results would
declare that everything passed (except that the test count would look
suspiciously low, but maybe you just misremembered how many tests
there were).
Now, if a test script exits with a non-zero status and did not produce
a final results file, we propagate that failure out of the driver loop
immediately.
To keep this simple, this patch removes the PID from the test-results
file name. This PID was inherited from the git test system and seems
unnecessary, since the file name already includes the name of the test
script and the test-results directory is created anew for each run.
Test the date/time parser module directly, independent of notmuch,
using the parse-time test tool.

tests.
There didn't seem to be these basic tests for --format=text,
as there are for --format=json. These are just the tests from
the `json' script, with adjusted expected outputs.
Systematically test the exclude options for search. Also move the
search existing exclude tests into the new test. There is some overlap
between the two sets of tests but many of the existing ones are there
because they triggered bugs in the past so I have kept them to ensure
coverage.
The test is currently broken and will be fixed by a subsequent patch.
The patch adds a new file for tests of Emacs notmuch-show view.
Based on patch by David Edmondson [1].

Add a new test function to allow simpler testing of emacs
functionality.
`test_emacs_expect_t' takes one argument - a lisp expression to
evaluate. The test passes if the expression returns `t', otherwise it
fails and the output is reported to the tester.
We start modestly, with a (slightly modified) test case from Kazuo
Teramoto. Originally it just made sure the bindings didn't crash; here
we check that by comparing the output with that of notmuch search.
Some tests don't break when HUP signal is sent tho those (by
pressing ctrl-c on the terminal). Therefore, the top-level
test script catches the HUP and sends TERM signal to the
started test script.
