I just uploaded a new version of DocTest[1] to Hackage. WHAT IS DocTest? ================ DocTest is a port of Python's doctest[2] to Haskell. It can be used to verify, that examples in Haddock comments[3] do still work. This also provides you with a simple mechanism to write unit test, without the burden of maintaining a dedicated test suite. A basic example of usage is at [4]. WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION? =========================== Support for blank lines in the result of an expression (analogous to the <BLANKLINE>-feature of Python's doctest). Here is an example of usage: -- | -- Some example: -- -- >>> putStrLn "foo\n\nbar" -- foo -- <BLANKLINE> -- bar Currently this is implemented in DocTest, but we will move it to Haddock with the next release.
