Hi all,
I hacked together what I thought was a neat little feature (a 3 line diff) and thought I'd add a test. Thats when I figured out I couldn't even run the tests.
Reading `Cabal/tests/Readme.md` I see I need to set the environment var:
Setting those vars shouldn't be *required*. Try to follow steps in HACKING.md (i.e. compile a Setup script manually and run './Setup [configure --enable tests | build | test]').
The first four are obvious and easy, but I have no idea how to set the last one.
It should look approx. like this: 'CABAL_PACKAGETESTS_DB_STACK=clear:global:/path/to/.cabal-sandbox/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.4-packages.conf.d'. This assumes that you installed the version of Cabal you're testing into a sandbox under '/path/to/.cabal-sandbox'.
