cabal-doctest: A Setup.hs helper for doctests running

[ bsd3, deprecated, distribution, library ] [ Propose Tags ]
Deprecated

Currently (beginning of 2017), there isn't cabal doctest command. Yet, to properly work doctest needs plenty of configuration. This library provides the common bits for writing custom Setup.hs See Cabal/2327 for the progress of cabal doctest, i.e. whether this library is obsolete.

cabal-doctest

Hackage Build Status

A Setup.hs helper for running doctests.

Example Usage

To use this library in your Setup.hs, you should specify a custom-setup section in your .cabal file. For example:

custom-setup
 setup-depends:
   base >= 4 && <5,
   cabal-doctest >= 1 && <1.1

You'll also need to specify build-type: Custom at the top of the .cabal file. Now put this into your Setup.hs file:

module Main where

import Distribution.Extra.Doctest (defaultMainWithDoctests)

main :: IO ()
main = defaultMainWithDoctests "doctests"

When you build your project, this Setup will generate a Build_doctests module. To use it in a testsuite, simply do this:

module Main where

import Build_doctests (flags, pkgs, module_sources)
import Data.Foldable (traverse_)
import Test.Doctest (doctest)

main :: IO ()
main = do
    traverse_ putStrLn args -- optionally print arguments
    doctest args
  where
    args = flags ++ pkgs ++ module_sources

Notes

  • custom-setup section is supported starting from cabal-install-1.24. For older cabal-install's you have to install custom setup dependencies manually.

  • stack respects custom-setup starting from version 1.3.3. Before that you have to use explicit-setup-deps setting in your stack.yaml. (stack/GH-2094)

  • There is [an issue in the Cabal issue tracker](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2327 Cabal/2327) about adding cabal doctest command. After that command is implemented, this library will be deprecated.
