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

Hi, A small patch to fix linking hackage-mirror to libcrypt. (Just copies the crypt lines in hackage-server.cabal from the hackager-server executable to hackage-mirror, so that linking of hackage-mirror doesn't fail. Sat Dec 4 17:10:19 EST 2010 Jens Petersen <petersen(a)haskell.org> * add crypt to executable hackage-mirror too Please ping me if you need a trac ticket for this... Thanks, Jens

[Hackage] #774: output of 'cabal check' out of sync with cabal syntax

#774: output of 'cabal check' out of sync with cabal syntax ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.2 Severity: minor | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: Platform: Linux | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- A .cabal file with: Build-depends: base >= 4 when examined with 'cabal check', will return the following warning: """ The following errors will cause portability problems on other environments: * The dependency 'build-depends: base' does not specify an upper bound on the version number. Each major release of the 'base' package changes the API in various ways and most packages will need some changes to compile with it. The recommended practise is to specify an upper bound on the version of the 'base' package. This ensures your package will continue to build when a new major version of the 'base' package is released. If you are not sure what upper bound to use then use the next major version. For example if you have tested your package with 'base' version 2 and 3 then use 'build-depends: base >= 2 && < 4'. """ However, using the suggested "base >=2 && base < 4" results in, "Parse of field 'build-depends' failed." This error goes away if I use "base >=2, base < 4" instead. I think the syntax in the error message is out of date. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/774> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #773: Default value for flag ignored, but explicit flag assignment is honored

#773: Default value for flag ignored, but explicit flag assignment is honored ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- In a cabal file, I specify the default value of a flag as True. When Setup.hs configure is invoked without an option, Setup.hs configure uses the value false! The bug only seems to occur when the body of the conditional has a Build-Depends assignment. The attachments contain a transcript that demonstrates the problem and the package used to demonstrate the problem. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/773> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
