This matches the current behavior of the buttonizer, so it passes, but
many of these cases are not what you'd want (and some of them aren't
even valid Xapian queries). The next patch will fix the handling of
these cases and update the test.
When running emacs tests using emacs 23.1.1 the tests block (until timeout)
when emacs function (notmuch-test-wait) is called.
There is an emacs bug #2930 titled:
23.0.92; `accept-process-output' and `sleep-for' do not run sentinel
It seems this is present in emacs 23.1.
Calling list-processes after accept-process-output seems work around
this problem; in case Emacs version is 23.1 a defadvice is activated
to do just that.
notmuch-test-wait called sleep-for in a loop to wait unconditionally 0.1
seconds while waiting for process to exit.
accept-process-output returns as soon as there is any data available
from process, so using it avoids unnecessary fixed delays.
Both of these functions run process sentinels.
This advises the search process filter to make it process one
character at a time in order to test the pessimal case for incremental
search output parsing.
The text parser fails this test because it gets tricked into thinking
a parenthetical remark in a subject is the tag list.
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.
emacsclient --eval '(kill-emacs)' makes emacs versions 23.1
and 23.2 ask user input from running emacs. Redefining
yes-or-no-p function when kill-emacs is executed for these
emacs versions in test-lib.el avoids this test problem.
Test that `notmuch-hello-refresh-hook' is called once when
`notmuch-hello' is called and twice when calling
`notmuch-hello-update' after that.
The tests are very similar to tests for `notmuch-hello-mode-hook'.
Add `notmuch-hello-mode-hook-counter' hook to count how many times
`notmuch-hello-mode-hook' was called. The counter function increments
`notmuch-hello-mode-hook-counter' variable value if it is bount,
otherwise it does nothing.
Before the change, every Emacs test ran in a separate Emacs
instance. Starting Emacs many times wastes considerable time and
it gets worse as the test suite grows. The patch solves this by
using a single Emacs server and emacsclient(1) to run multiple
tests. Emacs server is started on the first test_emacs call and
stopped when test_done is called. We take care not to leave
orphan Emacs processes behind when test is terminated by whatever
reason: Emacs server runs a watchdog that periodically checks
that the test is still running.
Some tests need to provide user input. Before the change, this
was done using echo(1) to Emacs stdin. This no longer works and
instead `standard-input' variable is set accordingly to make
`read' return the appropriate string.
Before the change, the common Emacs test scheme was to print
buffer content to stdout and redirect it to a file or capture it
in a shell variable. This does not work if we switch to using
emacsclient(1) for running the tests, because you can not print
to the stdout in this case. (Actually, you can print to stdout
from Emacs server, but you can not capture the output on
emacsclient(1)).
The patch introduces new Emacs test auxiliary functions:
`test-output' and `test-visible-output'. These functions are
used to save buffer content to a file directly from Emacs. For
most tests the changes are trivial, because Emacs stdout output
was redirected to a file anyway. But some tests captured the
output in a shell variable and compare it with the expected
output using test_expect_equal. These tests are changed to use
files and test_expect_equal_file instead.
Note: even if we do not switch Emacs tests to emacsclient(1), the
patch makes tests cleaner and is an improvement.
The patch adds test-lib.el file for Emacs tests auxiliary stuff.
Currently, it implements two functions: `visible-buffer-string'
and `visible-buffer-substring'. These are similar to standard
counterparts without "visible-" prefix but exclude invisible
text. The functions are not used anywhere at the moment but
should be useful for testing hiding/showing in the Emacs
interface.

new test-lib.el file.
