Hi Cabal,

Is their a recommended way of specifying data files to use with a test-suite?

I want to test being able to parse binary data in a backwards compatible way, so would like the test data to be in source control.

My current plan is to assume that the working directory in a test suite is always going to by the same directory as my .cabal file.

The way data-files currently work in Cabal is a bit unfortunate. It would be better if they were per build target (i.e. library, executable, test-suite) instead of per package. -- Johan
