A simple setup to test org-noter in a sandbox.

How to test org-noter in a sandbox

In general, I dont want to break my day-to-day emacs instance. I also want to ensure that the changes I make work apart from my “standard” config.

To do this, I spin up a “clean room” version of vanilla emacs and then install minimum number of packages to run org-noter.

1. Install with-emacs.sh
2. Clone https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter-with-emacs-basic-test

   git clone git@github.com:org-noter/org-noter-with-emacs-basic-test.git
       

3. Execute with-emacs.sh from your org-noter-with-emacs-basic-test directory:

   foo=`find ~/ -name with-emacs.sh -type f -perm -u+x`
   $foo -P -R -d . -- +22:38 install-straight.el
   unset foo
       

4. Edit the path to the development clone of org-noter (at cursor point)

1. Evaluate this buffer with M-x eval-buffer.

As a result of this, you’ll end up with a completely stand-alone instance of Emacs with all necessary packages installed to run a clean version of org-noter.

You can now run your org-noter tests.

How to reset the sandbox

Remove the straight directory and rerun.
