#693: Missing instructions for running Cabal's testsuite ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by duncan): Replying to [comment:2 duncan]:
I would welcome a tests/README file.
The following works for me:
Note, it actually needs: {{{ cabal configure -O0 --package-db=../dist/package.conf.inplace --constraint='Cabal == 1.9.1' }}} (or whatever the development version of Cabal is) to force it to use the latest version, otherwise it picks the older version since that version would be consistent with the version that the ghc package depends on. Cabal always tries to use consistent deps, but without the patched QC, we're trying to force it to pick inconsistent ones (since WC depends on the the ghc package which depends on an older Cabal lib). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/693#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
