Hi, NEWS entry: ** New ERT function `ert-summarize-tests-batch-and-exit'. I have verified the function by creating a sample test.el file whose contents are as follows: (ert-deftest example-test () (should (= (+ 9 2) 11))) I was able to run the test, and capture the output using: $ emacs -batch -l ert -l test.el -f ert-run-tests-batch > test.log I compiled emacs-25, and ran the following to produce the expected summary result as shown below: $ ./src/emacs -batch -l ert -f ert-summarize-tests-batch-and-exit test.log SUMMARY OF TEST RESULTS ----------------------- Files examined: 1 Ran 1 tests, 1 results as expected Is the attached documentation change fine? I can then send you an actual patch. Regards, SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com
