On a Debian Hurd system, the following consistently dies after running for two minutes. It seems like our test harness can't cope with the emacs server dying as well as it ought to. I'm not sure what the right answer is. A crude workaround would be to increase the hardcoded timeout. Alternatively, maybe test_emacs should make some effort to restart the server if it is no longer running. #!/usr/bin/env bash test_description="emacs fcc" . ./test-lib.sh for ((count=1; count<=1000; count++)); do id=fub.$count subject=meh echo attempting $count emacs_fcc_message \ "$subject" \ 'This is a test message with inline attachment with a filename' \ "(mml-attach-file \"$TEST_DIRECTORY/README\" nil nil \"inline\") (message-goto-eoh) (insert \"Message-ID: <$id>\n\")" delivered=$(find $MAIL_DIR/sent -type f | wc -l) if [[ $delivered != $count ]]; then GIT_EXIT_OK=1 echo FATAL: $count attempted $delivered delivered exit 1; fi done test_done
