#803: cabal test after cabal configure --enable-tests without cabal build creates obscure output ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- It wasn't obvious to me that cabal build would be required before cabal test. Can cabal test automatically run cabal build? Otherwise a message should be shown telling the user to run cabal build. Here is an example output {{{
Test suite runtests: RUNNING... Test suite runtests: FAIL Test suite logged to: dist/test/persistent-0.4.0.1-runtests.log Test suite runtests: RUNNING... Test suite runtests: FAIL Test suite logged to: dist/test/persistent-0.4.0.1-runtests.log Test suite runtests: FAIL Test suite logged to: dist/test/persistent-0.4.0.1-runtests.log 0 of 1 test suites (0 of 1 test cases) passed. }}}
The log is exactly the same as the output -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/803 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
