string-trim-left redefinition vs quasi-quote tests in emacs 29.1

[barak]

There is a problem with test failures with emacs 29.1.

It would seem the redefinition in tests/haskell-indent-tests.el and tests/haskell-indentation-tests.el of string-trim-left is causing a failure in the eight quasi-quote tests in tests/haskell-lexeme-tests.el. If you remove those two "indent" files from the big emacs command invoked by make check-ert the quasi-quote tests work fine.

Can I suggest not redefining standard low-level functions in a non-backwards-compatible fashion (in this case, to not take an optional second argument)?

See https://bugs.debian.org/1042890

The test succeeds if the two redefinitions are simply removed; I'm adding a patch to the Debian package to do that.

Completely agree, that should never have been written like that, this is the first time I've seen it. Fixed now in master. This mistake will also have gone into the fresh release I tagged earlier today, though.

Well, technically you did not actually tag the 17.4 release (as of my last git fetch upstream --tags) but I take your point. Anyway, I've just pushed a Debian package with your fix instead of my patch.

Perhaps I hadn't pushed the tag: I pushed it again now and it at least shows up in GitHub. Not the first time it's bitten me that tags get pushed separately from commits.
