When running the Emacs tests in verbose mode, only the first missing prereq is reported because the `run_emacs' function is short-circuited early: #+begin_example emacs: Testing emacs interface missing prerequisites: [0] emacs(1) skipping test: [0] Basic notmuch-hello view in emacs SKIP [0] Basic notmuch-hello view in emacs #+end_example This can lead to situations reminiscent of "dependency hell", so instead of returning based on each individual `test_require_external_prereq's exit status, we now do so only after checking all the prereqs: #+begin_example emacs: Testing emacs interface missing prerequisites: [0] dtach(1) emacs(1) emacsclient(1) skipping test: [0] Basic notmuch-hello view in emacs SKIP [0] Basic notmuch-hello view in emacs #+end_example Also added missing prereq for dtach(1). --- test/test-lib.sh | 7 +++++-- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/test-lib.sh b/test/test-lib.sh index 82767c0..d1fbc05 100644 --- a/test/test-lib.sh +++ b/test/test-lib.sh @@ -907,8 +907,11 @@ EOF test_emacs () { # test dependencies beforehand to avoid the waiting loop below - test_require_external_prereq emacs || return - test_require_external_prereq emacsclient || return + missing_dependencies= + test_require_external_prereq dtach || missing_dependencies=1 + test_require_external_prereq emacs || missing_dependencies=1 + test_require_external_prereq emacsclient || missing_dependencies=1 + test -z "$missing_dependencies" || return if [ -z "$EMACS_SERVER" ]; then server_name="notmuch-test-suite-$$" -- 1.7.8.1
