#811: test-suite type not detected ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: basvandijk | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.10.1.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I just installed the latest `cabal`: {{{ $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.10.2 using version 1.10.1.0 of the Cabal library }}} I'm trying to rewrite the custom test-suite of my [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/threads threads] package to the new Cabal test-suite feature. The original `.cabal` contains: {{{ ... executable test-threads main-is: test.hs ... }}} When I rewrite that to: {{{ ... test-suite test-threads type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: test.hs ... }}} And than configure it, I get the following error: {{{ $ cabal configure cabal: threads.cabal:60: The 'type' field is required for test suites. The available test types are: exitcode-stdio-1.0 }}} I attached the package. Duncan on `#haskell` figured out that if a .cabal contains conditionals, like the one I have, the bug appears. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/811> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #697: Add "cabal build-dep" command

#697: Add "cabal build-dep" command ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: major | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/HackageTesting hackage testing tool] needs a "cabal build-dep" command to work. I had an inadequate patch that was good enough for my experiments (http://osdir.com/ml/cabal-devel@haskell.org/2010-01/msg00029.html) but lack the familiarity with the cabal-install design necessary to implement it properly. Sadly, the patch no longer applies to cabal-install HEAD, and regardless, it would make things a lot easier if it Just Worked out of the box. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/697> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

I played around with passing `--package-db ../dist/package.conf.inplace` to `configure` when configuring `tests/suite.cabal` without success. A `tests/README` file would be very useful. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/693> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
