Here's my trial to do so.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(ert-deftest test-ob/specific-column-names-symbols ()
  "Test passing specific column names as a list of symbols."
  (should
   (equal "#+name: input-table

|  1 | bar  |
|  2 | baz  |

#+begin_src sh :var data=input-table :exports results :colnames '(Rev Author)
echo \"$data\"
#+end_src

#+results:
| Rev | Author |
|-----+--------|
|   1 | bar    |
|   2 | baz    |

"
          (org-test-with-temp-text "#+name: input-table

|  1 | bar  |
|  2 | baz  |

#+begin_src sh :var data=input-table :exports results :colnames '(Rev Author)
echo \"$data\"
#+end_src

                                   (org-babel-execute-src-block)
                                   (buffer-string)))))

Does this correspond to what you're asking for?

However, running it did not succeed. I must do something wrong, or NOT do
something good...

The worse is that I don't get a backtrace, even after:

- setting debug-on-error to t, or
- M-x'ing toggle-debug-on-error.

Weird, but not the first time -- seems related to Emacs 24.2 or so (+ my
config?).

Best regards,
