Likewise, is test-framework explicitly unmaintained? I'd generally think a testing tool should stabilize after a while... though I guess that test-framework's author is pretty busy with some other work this year, but I could be wrong. On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 3:31 PM, Andrey Chudnov wrote:

Has this been confirmed by the author/maintainer?

Tasty supports HUnit, SmallCheck, QuickCheck, and golden tests out of

Is it a drop-in replacement for test-framework, e.g. if I substitute "test-framework" for "tasty" in my .cabal files, will it work? If not, could you provide a quick guide for porting? Also, is the current version (0.1) recommended for general use?

Oh, a new testing framework - I'm always interested in that :)

At the very least, you'll have to change module names (Test.Framework -> Test.Tasty, Test.Framework.Providers.HUnit -> Test.Tasty.HUnit, ...), and wrap the top-level list of tests into a testGroup.

If you have type signatures, you'll need to rename Test to TestTree.

That should be enough in most cases. If you use plusTestOptions, you'll need to look up appropriate functions from Test.Tasty.Options. Making a tutorial would probably be a good idea here.

fair enough. I take it that you're also (implicitly) committing to maintaining this for the next few years? :)

That's correct. Roman

You can find an example here: https://github.com/feuerbach/regex-applicative/blob/master/regex-applicative... If you'd like to contribute a short README section based on that, please go ahead! :) Roman * Tikhon Jelvis [2013-08-06 09:29:21-0400]

Could you add some documentation on how to use this with cabal? I've found integrating tests with cabal unintuitive and poorly documented--to the point where I haven't really bothered! I've gotten it working before, but I would have to look it up again in the future. (I also didn't use a framework.)

It would be awesome to see an example .cabal file along with your example test cases.

thanks, -tikhon

I am pleased to announce the first release of tasty, a new testing framework for Haskell. It is meant to be a successor to test-framework (which is unmaintained).

It would be nice to see a comparison of the various test frameworks and why one might select one over another. I use hspec currently (which also integrates with HUnit, QuickCheck, etc.), and couldn't tell at a glance what tasty might offer. And I particularly dislike writing tests inside of a gigantic list; I much prefer the "monadic" style of hspec.

This has been discussed on reddit here: http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/1jr8lb/tasty_a_new_testing_framewor... Roman

Sorry, my last email got sent too quickly. Anyway, continuing my thought. So QuickCheck can classify tests: +++ OK, passed 100 tests (29% Short) Can tasty display this classification info? That was a thing I missed a lot in test-framework and would probably motivate me to switch to tasty.

I'll add that as an issue on github then. I tried implementing this for test-framework and failed - the code was just too complicatd for me. It'll be intereseting to see whether tasty has simpler implementation :) Janek ----- Oryginalna wiadomość ----- Od: "Roman Cheplyaka" Do: "Jan Stolarek" DW: haskell-cafe@haskell.org Wysłane: środa, 7 sierpień 2013 10:56:21 Temat: Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: tasty, a new testing framework It certainly can, but it doesn't do that yet.

Are there plans an equivalent of test-framework-th too?

I don't have any plans to do that myself, but I welcome anyone who cares to create and maintain such a package. donri on reddit said that porting test-framework-th should be a simple matter of changing one import. Roman
