My scripts expect that empty search result is actually empty. Since commit 6dcb7592, even empty search prints a newline character and this breaks my scripts.
This patch adds a test for this bug. In the test I cannot use test_expect_equal function as $() operator suppresses the final newline and this kind of difference is not detected. test/search | 5 +++++ 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) --- test/search | 5 +++++ 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/search b/test/search index 9132555..5939c6a 100755 --- a/test/search +++ b/test/search @@ -96,4 +96,9 @@ add_message '[subject]="utf8-message-body-subject"' '[date]="Sat, 01 Jan 2000 12 output=$(notmuch search "b?d?" | notmuch_search_sanitize) test_expect_equal "$output" "thread:XXX 2000-01-01 [1/1] Notmuch Test Suite; utf8-message-body-subject (inbox unread)" +test_expect_success "Search for non-existent message prints nothing" ' +echo -n > expected && +notmuch search "no-message-matches-this" > actual && +test_cmp expected actual' + test_done -- 1.7.2.3
