Update the tests so that they no longer expect the Bcc header in the
output of "notmuch reply" now that it has been removed.
Edited-by Carl Worth: Simply applying the change to our newly
modularized test suite.
We test that the message we sent via (fake) SMTP is included in the mail
index after a "notmuch new". This verifies that the FCC setting indeed
successfully saved the sent message within the notmuch mail store.
Simply setting an explicit date is cleaner than letting the current,
(arbitrary), date get generated for the email message and then constantly
filtering that date out of search results.
Now that the FCC code is fixed to use the notmuch database path, we can
actually enable this by default, which should be highly useful for all
new users of notmuch.
Rather than *reall* sending mail here, we instead have a new test
program, smtp-dummy which implements (a small piece of) the
server-side SMTP protocol and saves a mail message to the filename
provided. This gives us reasonable test coverage of a large chunk of
the notmuch+emacs code base (down to talking to an SMTP server with
the final mail contents).
We set the HOME environment variable to the test directory to avoid
the tests relying on any configuration files from the test author's
own home directory, (such as ${HOME}/.emacs or similar).
If Xapian sees unquoted ".." as in id:123..456 then it thinks that's a
range specification. We avoid this problem by instead passing
id:"123..456" to Xapian.
We simulate the act of selecting the "inbox" saved search from
notmuch-hello and the act of selecting a desired thread from the
notmuch-search results.
The test for the navigation of notmuch-hello is currently marked as
BROKEN since its output is in the opposite order compared to the
'(notmuch-search "tag:inbox")' test. This question of ordering is a
currently open issue on the notmuch mailing list, so we'll let the
test suite reflect that for now.
Finally, this commit also abstracts some common emacs lisp code,
(waiting for the current buffer's process to complete), into a new
notmuch-test-wait function that is made available to anything calling
test_emacs.
This should be quite handy for doing automated testing of the
emacs-based functionality in notmuch. This function invokes emacs with
the necessary command-line arguments, (to run in batch mode with no
local initialization, to load the notmuch code from the source
directory, and to ensure an 80-column width).
While adding the documentation here for add_email_corpus I noticed
that the other email-adding functions in test-lib.sh were not yet
documented here, so add all of that documentation.
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.
A bug in the results-aggregation code was causing the test suite to report
"all tests passed" even when there were failures, (as long as there were
also no "broken" tests). Fix this.
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").
In order for --valgrind to be useful, we drop noisy additional output of
all of the commands being executed in verbose mode. This makes --verbose
alone quite useless, so we don't document it any more.
Also, add a zlib valgrind suppression that was showing up frequently in the
test suite.
This file was obviously describing the git test suite previously, and
would have been very hard to understand in the context of the notmuch
test suite. HOpefully it's easier to follow now.
By scanning test-lib.sh for occurrences of "git" or "GIT", I found
that most of those are internal things, (like the GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED
variable). But GIT_SKIP_TESTS is part of the user-interface to the
test suite, so we rename it to reference notmuch rather than git.
Also, the GIT_TRACE warning is git-specific, so we drop that as well.
Since we are now using an explicit list of tests to run in
notmuch-test we need to be careful that we don't add a new file of
tests and then forget to add it to the list.
The numbers were meaningless, and they made it hard to find a file of interest.
Instead, we get the ordering we want by adding an explicit list of
tests to run to the notmuch-test script.
These were interfering with the aggregate statistics reported at the
end of the test-suite run. (Always reporting 1 broken, 1 fixed, and 1
skipped). The correct way to test the test-suite itself would be to
run the test suite externally for these cases, capture the expected
result, and then report that as a PASS test.
But, really, there's almost no value in these tests anyway. It's
almost to the level of testing that 'if false; exit 1; fi' returns
1. That is, there are so many ways that the test suite could be broken
internally, that these minor tests don't really help.
The original git test suite works by concatenating many commands into
a very long string (each separated by &&). This is painful to work
with since it prevents the editor from helping by parsing the shell
script, indenting, colorizing, etc.
Instead, we switch this back to something like the original notmuch
test suite, and add two new functions to test-lib.sh
(test_begin_subtest and test_expect_equal) to support these.
This also fixes the test suite to once again display the diff when a
test fails to generate the expected input.
This makes the new, git-derived test suite report results in a manner
similar to the original notmuch test suite.
Notable changes include:
* No more initial '*' on every line
* Only colorize a single word
* Don't print useless test numbers
* Use "PASS" in place of "ok"
* Begin sentences with a capital letter
* Print test descriptions for each block
* Separate each block of tests with a blank line
* Don't summarize counts between each block
This avoids "make test" emitting messages from three (3!) recursive
invocations of make. We change the invocations of the tests themselves
to occur directly from the shell script rather than having the shell
script invoke make again and using wildcards in the Makefile.
In order to have repeatable test suite, all times in messages are set
to UTC time zone to match the time zone (TZ variable) set in
test-lib.sh.

The changes are:
- The notmuch-test was split into several files (t000?-*.sh).
- Removed helper functions which were moved to test-lib.sh
- Replaced every printf with test_expect_success.
- Test commands chained with && (test-lib.sh doesn't use "set -e" in
order to complete the test suite even if something fails)
- Many variables such as ${MAIL_DIR} were properly quoted as they
contain spaces.
- Changed quoting patterns in add_message and generate_message (single
quotes are already used by the test framework).
- ${TEST_DIR} replaced by ${PWD}
QUICK HOWTO:
To run the whole test suite
make
To run only a single test
./t0001-new.sh
To stop on the first error
./t0001-new.sh -i
then mail store and database can be inspected in
"trash directory.t0001-new"
To see the output of tests
./t0001-new.sh -v
To not remove trash directory at the end:
./t0001-new.sh -d
To run all tests verbosely:
make GIT_TEST_OPTS="-v"

Modify the helper functions to work with git-based test suite i.e.
1) Quote arguments where it is necessary.
2) Do not use $NOTMUCH. It is equal to "notmuch" since $PATH is set to
the build tree.
3) Modify pass_if_equal to fit into the git-based test suite.

This removes Git specific things from the test-lib.sh and adds helper
functions for notmuch taken from Carl's notmuch-test script. README is
also slightly modified to reflect the current state.

Git uses a simple and yet powerful test framework, written in shell.
The framework is easy to use for both users and developers so I think
it would help if it is used in notmuch as well.
This is a copy of Git's test framework from commit
b6b0afdc30e066788592ca07c9a6c6936c68cc11 in git repository.

Micah Anderson reported an issue where a message failed to display in
the emacs interface, (it instead gave an error, "json-read-string: Bad
string format").
Micah tracked this down to the json output from "notmuch show" being
interrupted by a GMime error message:
gmime-CRITICAL **: g_mime_stream_filter_add: assertion
`GMIME_IS_FILTER (filter)
I tracked this down further to notmuch passing a NULL value to
g_mime_stream_filter_add. And this was due to calling
g_mime_filter_charset_new with a value of "unknown-8bit".
So we add a test message withe a Conten-Type of "text/plain;
charset=unknown-8bit" from Micah's message. Then we fix "notmuch show"
to test for NULL before calling g_mime_stream_filter_add. Bug fixed.
Scott Henson reported an internal error that occurred when he tried to
add a message that referenced another message with a message ID well
over 300 characters in length. The bug here was running into a Xapian
limit for the length of metadata key names, (which is even more
restrictive than the Xapian limit for the length of terms).
We fix this by noticing long message ID values and instead using a
message ID of the form "notmuch-sha1-<sha1_sum_of_message_id>". That
is, we use SHA1 to generate a compressed, (but still unique), version
of the message ID.
We add support to the test suite to exercise this fix. The tests add a
message referencing the long message ID, then add the message with the
long message ID, then finally add another message referencing the long
ID. Each of these tests exercise different code paths where the
special handling is implemented.
A final test ensures that all three messages are stitched together
into a single thread---guaranteeing that the three code paths all act
consistently.
We're about to add a test with an excessively long message-id, (512
characters or so). This exceeds filename length limits, so just always
the simple counter to generate the filenames, (which we were doing for
messages with non-custom IDs anyway).
The commit said it fixed a problem with headers >200 characters
long. But examination of the code suggests that it was a header of
exactly 200 characters long that caused the problem. So we add a test
case for that here.
Before the fix in the previous commit, valgrind would detect many
errors when replying to the message created with this test case. After
that commit, those errors are gone.
