#215: Overhaul support for package's tests ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: RichardG Type: task | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.8 Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: project(> week) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Changes (by RichardG): * owner: => RichardG * status: new => assigned Comment: I want to take this on. I'm very much in favor of having Cabal build and run external programs that print formatted data to stdout, which is then parsed and aggregated by Cabal. This makes it easier to integrate new testing libraries and also provides more control over how testing is performed (e.g., the HUnit tests give different results with 6.12.1 when compiled with -O and without). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/215#comment:12 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
