From bed6022ed1076803d89260762dd4d90e639f2756 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bremner Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:08:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] test: allow user to choose which emacs to run tests with. As we start to pay more attention to emacs24, it helps to be able to select a different version of emacs to run the tests with to verify version specific bugs. A separate variable TEST_EMACS is needed to avoid being overwritten by the make variable EMACS in Makefile.config For what it's worth, the value of emacs is chosen at the time tmp.emacs/run_emacs is created, so is fixed for all subtests. --- test/README | 7 +++++++ test/test-lib.sh | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/test/README b/test/README index 7b2e96d4..bde6db0c 100644 --- a/test/README +++ b/test/README @@ -56,6 +56,13 @@ can be specified as follows: make test OPTIONS="--verbose" +You can choose an emacs binary to run the tests in one of the +following ways. + + TEST_EMACS=my-special-emacs make test + TEST_EMACS=my-special-emacs ./emacs + make test TEST_EMACS=my-special-emacs + Skipping Tests -------------- If, for any reason, you need to skip one or more tests, you can do so diff --git a/test/test-lib.sh b/test/test-lib.sh index b5e346c0..8edf256e 100644 --- a/test/test-lib.sh +++ b/test/test-lib.sh @@ -50,6 +50,7 @@ TZ=UTC TERM=dumb export LANG LC_ALL PAGER TERM TZ GIT_TEST_CMP=${GIT_TEST_CMP:-diff -u} +TEST_EMACS=${TEST_EMACS:-${EMACS:-emacs}} # Protect ourselves from common misconfiguration to export # CDPATH into the environment @@ -897,7 +898,7 @@ export NOTMUCH_CONFIG=$NOTMUCH_CONFIG # # --load Force loading of notmuch.el and test-lib.el -exec emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file \ +exec ${TEST_EMACS} --no-init-file --no-site-file \ --directory "$TEST_DIRECTORY/../emacs" --load notmuch.el \ --directory "$TEST_DIRECTORY" --load test-lib.el \ "\$@" -- 2.26.2
