Unify the subtests by requiring test_begin_subtest before
test_expect_success. (Similar change for test_expect_code will
follow.)
This increases clarity in the test scripts by having a separate line
for the start of the subtest with the heading, and makes it possible
to simplify the test infrastructure by making all subtests similar.
In several places in the test suite we intentionally corrupt the Xapian
database in order to test error handling. This corruption is specific to
the on-disk organization of the database, and that changed with the
glass backend. We use the previously computed default backend to make
the tests adapt to changing names.
The files (test) scripts source (with builtin command `.`) provides
information which the scripts depend, and without the `source` to
succeed allowing script to continue may lead to dangerous situations
(e.g. rm -rf "${undefined_variable}"/*).
At the end of all source (.) lines construct ' || exit 1' was added;
In our case the script script will exit if it cannot find (or read) the
file to be sourced. Additionally script would also exits if the last
command of the sourced file exited nonzero.
There are many places in the notmuch code where the path is assumed to be absolute. If someone (TM) wants a project, one could remove these assumptions. In the mean time, prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot.
Update test suite mark tests for this error as no longer broken, and
also convert some tests that used relative paths for nonexistent
directories.
The difference with FILE_ERROR is that this is for things that are
wrong with the path before looking at the disk.
Add some 3 tests; two broken as a reminder to actually use this new
code.
Apparently some systems actually have a directory called /nonexist[ae]nt.
It's hard to fathom a good reason for that, but oh well. As long as we
don't create such a directory inside the notmuch source tree, the new
version should be more robust.
This is not supposed to change any functionality from an end user
point of view. Note that it will eliminate some output to stderr. The
query debugging output is left as is; it doesn't really fit with the
current primitive logging model. The remaining "bad" fprintf will need
an internal API change.
