The error is easy to miss, because the test passes and stderr is not printed. But if you run basic tests in verbose mode (./basic --verbose), you get:
sed: can't read notmuch-test: No such file or directory The issue is that sed command is given two files: notmuch-test and $TEST_DIRECTORY/notmuch-test. And there is no notmuch-test file in the current directory (test/tmp.basic/). The patch just removes the non-existing file from the sed command. --- test/basic | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/basic b/test/basic index 38db2ba..032c9f7 100755 --- a/test/basic +++ b/test/basic @@ -34,41 +34,41 @@ test_expect_success 'tests clean up after themselves' ' ' cleaner=no test_expect_code 1 'tests clean up even after a failure' ' test_when_finished cleaner=yes && (exit 1) ' if test $clean$cleaner != yesyes then say "bug in test framework: cleanup commands do not work reliably" exit 1 fi test_expect_code 2 'failure to clean up causes the test to fail' ' test_when_finished "(exit 2)" ' # Ensure that all tests are being run test_begin_subtest 'Ensure that all available tests will be run by notmuch-test' -eval $(sed -n -e '/^TESTS="$/,/^"$/p' notmuch-test $TEST_DIRECTORY/notmuch-test) +eval $(sed -n -e '/^TESTS="$/,/^"$/p' $TEST_DIRECTORY/notmuch-test) tests_in_suite=$(for i in $TESTS; do echo $i; done | sort) available=$(ls -1 $TEST_DIRECTORY/ | \ sed -r -e "/^(aggregate-results.sh|Makefile|Makefile.local|notmuch-test)/d" \ -e "/^(README|test-lib.sh|test-lib.el|test-results|tmp.*|valgrind|corpus*)/d" \ -e "/^(emacs.expected-output|smtp-dummy|smtp-dummy.c|test-verbose|symbol-test.cc)/d" \ -e "/^(test.expected-output|.*~)/d" \ -e "/^(gnupg-secret-key.asc)/d" \ -e "/^(gnupg-secret-key.NOTE)/d" \ -e "/^(atomicity.gdb)/d" \ | sort) test_expect_equal "$tests_in_suite" "$available" EXPECTED=$TEST_DIRECTORY/test.expected-output suppress_diff_date() { sed -e 's/\(.*\-\-\- test-verbose\.4\.\expected\).*/\1/' \ -e 's/\(.*\+\+\+ test-verbose\.4\.\output\).*/\1/' } test_begin_subtest "Ensure that test output is suppressed unless the test fails" output=$(cd $TEST_DIRECTORY; ./test-verbose 2>&1 | suppress_diff_date) -- 1.7.7.3 _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
