After some helpful feedback from jrollins and amdragon on IRC, I have pushed an updated version of this. The guts of the updated test are as follows: run_test(){ result=$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../lib ./symbol-test 2>&1) } output="A Xapian exception occurred opening database: Couldn't stat 'fakedb/.notmuch/xapian' caught No chert database found at path \`./nonexistant'" g++ -o symbol-test -I../../lib ../symbol-test.cc -L../../lib -lnotmuch -lxapian mkdir -p fakedb/.notmuch test_expect_success 'running test' run_test test_begin_subtest 'checking output' test_expect_equal "$result" "$output" test_done
