New test-suite functionality
by Antoine Latter 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi Cabal, Is there documentation for the new test-suite functionality? I tried adding the following stanza to my package description: test-suite basic default-language: Haskell2010 type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: Basic.hs hs-source-dirs: tests Running 'cabal test' only yields : Running 0 test suites... 0 of 0 test suites (0 of 0 test cases) passed. Am I doing something wrong? It would be nice if I got an error message. It doesn't seem to matter at all what I fill in to the stanza for the main-is and hs-source-dirs fields. Thanks, Antoine

Thanks for the notice. It used to work but broke because of a slight change in the 00-index.tar.gz file. Fixed it. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/570#comment:26> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
