testing configuration

testing configuration

[andrea]

I was wondering if it would be possible to automatically check if my
emacs configuration is correct.
This can be then put in a post-commit hook to check that whenever I add
some new features or change I don't mess up somethin else

I would only need to:
- load my whole configuration
- exit and returns 0 if everything goes fine, returns another number
otherwise.

Any ideas?

I can already launch a new emacs with certain conf, but how can I get a
return value?

What about:

emacs -q --eval '(condition-case err (progn (load "~/.emacs") (kill-emacs 0)) (error (kill-emacs 1)))'

?
