It's hard to see what can go wrong (maybe perl doesn't work?), but
failing to generate a message should be a fatal error. Maybe try
something like
diff --git a/test/test-lib-common.sh b/test/test-lib-common.sh
index ebbf4cdf..076777ca 100644
--- a/test/test-lib-common.sh
+++ b/test/test-lib-common.sh
@@ -225,7 +225,7 @@ EOF
# All of the arguments and return values supported by generate_message
# are also supported here, so see that function for details.
add_message () {
- generate_message "$@" &&
+ generate_message "$@" || error "failed to generate message"
notmuch new > /dev/null
}
to see if you get more information
