Hi Carl, I've just looked at your notmuch-test commits. Did you noticed my patches which port Git's test framework for use with notmuch? That framework has the same spirit as yours (shell scripting, easy to use) but compared to your current test script it has some nice features: - Test suite is split into several files. Therefore you do not need to run the whole test suit when you are working in one area of notmuch. - If some test fails, the executed commands are automatically displayed from which you can immediately see what was the problem. - Working directory for each test has a fixed name based on the name of the script (no $$) so you know where to look if some test fails. - You can decide whether you want to stop on the first failure or complete the whole test suite. - At the end the results are summarized so you do not need to watch the output of the test suite. It is straightforward to convert your current test script to Git's framework. If you are interested I'll do it. Michal
