#803: cabal test after cabal configure --enable-tests without cabal build creates obscure output ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: ttuegel Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.10.1.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by ttuegel): * owner: => ttuegel * status: new => assigned * version: 1.8.0.6 => 1.10.1.0 Comment: The patch I just attached fixes this issue by causing Cabal to warn the user if "setup test" is invoked before "setup build". I decided not to run "setup build" automatically because "setup install" does not do so either. Note that this is different than the behavior when "cabal install" is invoked (which runs "setup build" if necessary). My thinking is that "setup test" should mimic "setup install" while "cabal test" should mimic "cabal install"; this will require another patch for cabal- install.
