#12669: Add some weird Kmettian tests to the test suite -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Test Suite | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): I'd go a step further than comment:1 and put these kinds of tests in their own directory within the `testsuite/tests` directory. Something like `unsupp` (or, if you're feeling verbose -- as I often do -- `would_be_nice`). Then, when I see a failure as I'm putting in a new feature, my level of disappointment at failing the testsuite will be immediately lowered. Do include a README in the folder describing its purpose. Ideally, each test case would also repeat the info that the behavior is unsupported. I do fully support the inclusion of these tests in the testsuite. Thanks for suggesting it! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12669#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
