Thank you for your reply! I'm eagerly awaiting the next release then ;) I'm new to Haskell and I havn't yet found the best way to test my code, but I seem to be getting closer and closer ;) Greets, Bram PS Sorry for posting the bug to the list, It was only after sending the e-mail that I started to think there would probably be a bugtracker somewhere.

Dear List,

I'm new to haskell and the first thing I want to get working is test, to enable me to explore the language through righting tests.

I've tried to use cabal to run tests, but found very little documentation. In the end, I found the test-suite feature of cabal >= 1.9.2, which I have set up as best I can in the attachment.

If I run : cabal configure --enable-tests; cabal test

multiple times, I will get more and more output, as if it is adding tests to a list even though the tests are already there.

To reproduce: - Extract the attached archive of code - Enter the source directoy - Run cabal configure --enable-tests; cabal test  multiple times

Expected result: Only one test is executed every time I run cabal test. Actual result: it adds the same test to a list every time.

Hello! I'm the author of the Cabal test code. This is a known issue; I have submitted a patch that should appear in the next version of Cabal.

Note that Cabal is not actually running your test multiple times, rather, the problem is that the test log files are not overwritten between invocations of 'cabal test'. Until the fixed version of Cabal is released, you can run 'cabal clean' before 'cabal configure' to delete the test logs between 'cabal test' invocations and clean up the spurious output.

Thanks!
