My original request was for the Cabal output (such as "Running 1 test suites...") to be prefixed by ">>>" and the test output to be kept verbatim. This is not quite what happens now as you see above. Here's my new suggestion: since Cabal normally doesn't prefix command output, we should not do so in the test output either. Just output stdio verbatim from the test and don't prefix anything with ">>>". -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/848 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
