In the cabal user guide I read about the test-suite type "detailed-0.9" being preferred for new projects. Later after choosing Tasty I started adding basic support to my dummy project, and in the cabal integration section I see it says to use the older "exitcode-stdio-1.0".

I also don't see a clear way to use detailed, because Tasty supplies its "defaultMain" function meant to generate an executable. But I just tool a brief look, not touched internals of Tasty at all.

No one uses the detailed-0.9 interface, and there's not a single working example anywhere so no one ever will. Just stick with exitcode-stdio-1.0 and tasty (which works great, by the way). The recommendation in the users guide is wishful thinking.
