Changes to cabal-install
I have a couple of questions about the latest cabal-install release, and I haven't been able to find the release notes (checked GitHub, the Haskell.org wiki, googled, etc.) Here's what I'm running: amy@wombat$ cabal --version cabal-install version 1.18.0.3 using version 1.18.1.3 of the Cabal library Question 1 ---------- Until recently, the command cabal install --enable-tests used to build and run the tests. Now it seems I need to do cabal test which then compiles the tests and runs them. So is the --enable-tests flag doing anything, or is it now obsolete? Question 2 ---------- With my project, I do, in order: 1. cabal sandbox init --sandbox <directory> 2. cabal install --only-dependencies 3. cabal build --ghc-options=-Werror 4. cabal test But when I do step 3, I get a strange warning message: "The sandbox was created after the package was already configured." Huh? Creating the sandbox was the first thing I did! If instead, I replace step 3 with 3. cabal install --ghc-options=-Werror then I don't get the warning message until step 4.

Question 1 ---------- Until recently, the command
cabal install --enable-tests
used to build and run the tests. Now it seems I need to do
cabal test
which then compiles the tests and runs them. So is the --enable-tests flag doing anything, or is it now obsolete?
Using 'cabal test' is preferable. You don't want to reinstall the package each time you run the test suite.
Question 2 ---------- With my project, I do, in order:
1. cabal sandbox init --sandbox <directory> 2. cabal install --only-dependencies 3. cabal build --ghc-options=-Werror 4. cabal test
But when I do step 3, I get a strange warning message: "The sandbox was created after the package was already configured." Huh? Creating the sandbox was the first thing I did!
Does this still happen with cabal-install HEAD? If it does, please file an issue here: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/new

I have opened an issue [1] on github regarding the missing release notes/change log, but got there no response so far. Would be cool if the release notes could be continued. [1] https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1657

Release notes for 1.18 are available on my blog [1]. Yes, the official changelog should be updated, I just haven't got around to that yet. [1] http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2013-08-21-Cabal-1-18.html
