Package: dh-elpa Version: 2.0.2~bpo10+2 Severity: normal dh-elpa-test appears to have an undocumented hard dependency on (ert-run-test-batch-and-exit), specifically "-and-exit", and this one-function expression must appear as the final line of the defined ert_helper.
Steps to reproduce: d/elpa-test: ert_helper = debian/ert-helper.el debian/ert-helper.el: (ert-run-tests-batch) Then run "dh_elpa_test" in a src:pkg with failing tests. Result: ERT test output failure, but there's no big block of "dh_elpa_test…exit code 1" in the shell, and the exit code is 0 (PASS). Expected result: Big block of "dh_elpa_test: emacs -batch…-l debian/ert-helper.el returned exit code 1" with an exit code 2 in the shell (FAIL). -- If this is a documentation bug, then the above requirement should be documented, plus it would be nice to have an example snippet of how to kill emacs from within ert-helper.el in such a way that status FAILED is correctly passed through.
