Before the change, messages generated by generate_message() used "Test message #N" for default subject where N is the generated messages counter. Since message subject is commonly present in expected results, there is a chance of breaking other tests when a new generate_message() call is added. The patch changes default subject value for generated messages to subtest name if it is available. If subtest name is not available (i.e. message is generated during test initialization), the old default value is used (in this case it is fine to have the counter in the subject).
Another benefit of this change is a sane default value for subject in generated messages, which would allow to simplify code like: test_begin_subtest "test for a cool feature" add_message [subject]="message for test for a cool feature" --- test/encoding | 2 +- test/search-folder-coherence | 2 +- test/test-lib.sh | 6 +++++- 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/encoding b/test/encoding index 98abf77..2e1326e 100755 --- a/test/encoding +++ b/test/encoding @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ output=$(notmuch show id:${gen_msg_id} 2>&1 | notmuch_show_sanitize) test_expect_equal "$output" "message{ id:msg-001 at notmuch-test-suite depth:0 match:1 excluded:0 filename:/XXX/mail/msg-001 header{ Notmuch Test Suite <test_suite at notmuchmail.org> (2001-01-05) (inbox unread) -Subject: Test message #1 +Subject: Message with text of unknown charset From: Notmuch Test Suite <test_suite at notmuchmail.org> To: Notmuch Test Suite <test_suite at notmuchmail.org> Date: Fri, 05 Jan 2001 15:43:57 +0000 diff --git a/test/search-folder-coherence b/test/search-folder-coherence index f8119cb..3f6ec76 100755 --- a/test/search-folder-coherence +++ b/test/search-folder-coherence @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ test_expect_equal_file OUTPUT EXPECTED test_begin_subtest "Test matches folder:spam" output=$(notmuch search folder:spam) -test_expect_equal "$output" "thread:0000000000000001 2001-01-05 [1/1] Notmuch Test Suite; Test message #1 (inbox unread)" +test_expect_equal "$output" "thread:0000000000000001 2001-01-05 [1/1] Notmuch Test Suite; Single new message (inbox unread)" test_begin_subtest "Remove folder:spam copy of email" rm $dir/spam/$(basename $file_x) diff --git a/test/test-lib.sh b/test/test-lib.sh index 2781506..06aaea2 100644 --- a/test/test-lib.sh +++ b/test/test-lib.sh @@ -318,7 +318,11 @@ generate_message () fi if [ -z "${template[subject]}" ]; then - template[subject]="Test message #${gen_msg_cnt}" + if [ -n "$test_subtest_name" ]; then + template[subject]="$test_subtest_name" + else + template[subject]="Test message #${gen_msg_cnt}" + fi fi if [ -z "${template[date]}" ]; then -- 1.7.9.1
