But perhaps because I wasn't at all aware of TAP. It looks like it would be quite trivial to switch to an output format like that if somebody had something they'd like to hook the notmuch test suite up to, (but I wouldn't likely switch before). Looking at TAP, one thing I don't like is that it prints the success/failure of the test first, before the description of the test. That's not so nice in the case of a long-running (perhaps infinitely running) test where you might need to interrupt it, but you'd still want to know *what* was running for so long. -Carl --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFLa1hY6JDdNq8qSWgRAktcAJ4lOqKUnBlqHRAQdisCGyUxuO+w7ACfdm2U mjrUB0G6jO7chOuk6y1Zlmk= =nTom -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
