Some common broken RFC 2047 encodings that we currently let gmime
parse strictly. We could tell gmime to be forgiving in what it accepts
as RFC 2047 encoding, making these tests pass.
Before the change, messages generated by generate_message() used "Test
message #N" for default subject where N is the generated messages
counter. Since message subject is commonly present in expected
results, there is a chance of breaking other tests when a new
generate_message() call is added. The patch changes default subject
value for generated messages to subtest name if it is available. If
subtest name is not available (i.e. message is generated during test
initialization), the old default value is used (in this case it is
fine to have the counter in the subject).
Another benefit of this change is a sane default value for subject in
generated messages, which would allow to simplify code like:
test_begin_subtest "test for a cool feature"
add_message [subject]="message for test for a cool feature"
notmuch show outputs the exclude flag so many tests using notmuch
show failed. This commit adds "excluded:0" or "excluded: false" to
the expected outputs. After this commit there should be no failing
tests.
Emails that are encoded differently than as ASCII or UTF-8 are not
indexed properly by notmuch. It is not possible to search for non-ASCII
words within those messages.
Used emacs (whitespace-cleanup) function to "cleanup blank problems"
in test files where that could be done without breaking tests;
test/emacs was partially, and test/multipart was fully reverted.
January 5, 2001 was a Tuesday, not a Friday. Jameson fixed this exact
problem for the multipart test in ec2b0a98cc, but not for
generate_message itself.
As Jameson pointed out in ec2b0a98cc, if we want to test date parsing,
we should do it separately.
Change #!/bin/bash at start of tests to "#!/usr/bin/env bash". That way
systems running on bash < 4 can prepend bash >= 4 to path before
running the tests.
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.
Now that we can usefully pass section names via the NOTMUCH_SKIP_TESTS
environment variable, it's useful to actually print those names out
for the user. Then, since we're now printing these names, let's use
nicer names, (not excessively long but also not using abbreviations
like "msg").
