Looking through the libraries, I see a lot of commented out imports of QuickCheck and prop_foo definitions, but no way to run them all without a lot of manual editing of files. There are also a few tests in testsuite/tests/libraries/Data/, but they don't even build with ghc-6.6 because of an import of the hidden module Distribution.Compat.FilePath. It seems like this would make it hard to ensure that things work on more than a few platforms.
Is there some automated test suite for the libraries that I'm just missing? Is there a plan for developing one? If not, I'll start a wiki page for ideas and try to get a rudimentary one put together.
A number of libraries are tested in the 'testsuite' that comes with ghc. The plan is to move these back into the relevant library repositories though. Ian, what's the plan on this? -- Don
