Hi Haskellers,

I read about the cabal features for running test code from Setup.hs with "defaultMainWithHooks". I'm looking for more generic code that allows me to place any haskell in a subdirectory "test" or so and "cabal test" will run this test without any modification of my Setup.hs.

Is there a possibility?

There is. The just released Cabal- 1.10.1.0 and cabal-install-0.10.2 have support for test-suites.

The documentation is not online yet so here's an example from my threads package:

You can find the docs here: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-1.10.1.0/doc/users-guide/#test-su... These are not yet the default docs (i.e. the docs linked from the Cabal home page) but will likely be soon. Johan
