[PATCH 1/2] test/count: mark subtests needing gdb.

The tests will otherwise fail if gdb is not installed. Thanks to Milton Vandersloot for pointing out the problem [1]: id:ztMWvyn1Vw0FloPT7NYTkFoY9Fm1Ez4YgMfYh99Te-Y6yXRtAXuEIfVrodhRKDSxjg-zOJa_RTQ68AtSbSO-ESla5BFLfG7sw5RTGRhEQwI=@protonmail.com --- test/T060-count.sh | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2

The other occurrence of gdb was replaced in 95efe2d4, so we should be consistent. --- test/T380-atomicity.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/test/T380-atomicity.sh b/test/T380-atomicity.sh index afe49d93..6495381f 100755 --- a/test/T380-atomicity.sh +++

[PATCH 4/8] test: add test_expect_equal_file_nonempty

A common bug in tests is that the code used to generate the EXPECTED file fails, generating no output. When the code generating the OUTPUT file fails in the same way, the test passes, even though there is a failure being hidden. Add a new test function that guards against this. ---

[PATCH 5/8] test/path-config: use test_expect_equal_file_nonempty

This is more robust against crashes when the expected output is also generated by notmuch. In the case where the expected output is explicit, it seems like overkill. --- test/T055-path-config.sh | 11 +-- test/test-lib.sh | 1 + 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)

look in MAILDIR for database
