Thanks to Lucas (id:147263183913.27784.12274024193186585889@mbp) for the
bug report and the test case.
I decided to use the python version because the python bindings could
use more exercise.
gdb sometimes writes warnings to stdout, which we don't need/want, and
for some reason --batch-silent isn't enough to hide. So in this commit
we write them to a log file, which is probably better for debugging
anyway. To see an illustrative test failure before this change, run
% make
% touch notmuch-count.c
% cd test && ./T060-count.sh
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.
This brings back status information that may have been hidden by the
great library logging conversion.
Note the change of the internal API / return-value for count_files. The
other count calls to the lib will also get error handling when that API
is updated in the lib.
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.
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.
