If this suite speedup is merged, I'd suggest using original David's patch 2/2 due to consistency reasons -- $gen_test_filename is used likewise in other test_expect_code cases. and, unless $TEST_DIRECTORY contains '"'s, '$'s or '`'s it work (in our current cases $gen_test_name does not contain the above characters (gen_test_filename=$TEST_DIRECTORY/$gen_test_name)) I've looked this quite a lot lately (mostly for fun). I'll send email in near future some suggestions (ten (10) or so) how we could improve the situation here, which then could be applied everywhere... > > --dkg Tomi PS: actually, there is e.g. T070-insert.sh:test_expect_code 1 "notmuch insert --folder=nonesuch < $gen_msg_filename" (and that is not the only one) In this case also ' ', \t and \n in $gen_msg_filename would make tests break (e.g. someone runs tests in $PWD that has spaces in it). _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
