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
Are you configuring/building the package with the commands 'cabal configure --enable-tests' and 'cabal build' before trying to run tests? I suspect the problem you are encountering is that the default option for 'configure' is '--disable-tests'. I apologize for the confusion; this is documented in the Cabal User's Guide, but obviously the documentation I wrote needs improvement :) This case also indicates to me that we need to add a gentle reminder about 'cabal configure --enable-tests' whenever 'cabal test' is invoked, but no test suites are found. -- Thomas Tuegel
