Formatters
Implementing a custom Formatter

Description

This module contains formatters that can be used with hspecWith.

Synopsis

Formatters

silent :: Formatter Source

specdoc :: Formatter Source

progress :: Formatter Source

failed_examples :: Formatter Source

Implementing a custom Formatter

A formatter is a set of actions. Each action is evaluated when a certain situation is encountered during a test run.

Actions live in the FormatM monad. It provides access to the runner state and primitives for appending to the generated report.

data Formatter Source

Constructors

Formatter

Fields

headerFormatter :: FormatM ()

exampleGroupStarted :: [String] -> String -> FormatM ()

evaluated before each test group

The given number indicates the position within the parent group.

exampleGroupDone :: FormatM ()

exampleProgress :: Handle -> Path -> Progress -> IO ()

used to notify the progress of the currently evaluated example

Note: This is only called when interactive/color mode.

exampleSucceeded :: Path -> FormatM ()

evaluated after each successful example

exampleFailed :: Path -> Either SomeException String -> FormatM ()

evaluated after each failed example

examplePending :: Path -> Maybe String -> FormatM ()

evaluated after each pending example

failedFormatter :: FormatM ()

evaluated after a test run

footerFormatter :: FormatM ()

evaluated after failuresFormatter

Accessing the runner state

getSuccessCount :: FormatM Int Source

Get the number of successful examples encountered so far.

getPendingCount :: FormatM Int Source

Get the number of pending examples encountered so far.

getFailCount :: FormatM Int Source

Get the number of failed examples encountered so far.

getTotalCount :: FormatM Int Source

Get the total number of examples encountered so far.

data FailureRecord Source

Constructors

FailureRecord
Fields failureRecordLocation :: Maybe Location failureRecordPath :: Path failureRecordMessage :: Either SomeException String

getFailMessages :: FormatM [FailureRecord] Source

Get the list of accumulated failure messages.

usedSeed :: FormatM Integer Source

The random seed that is used for QuickCheck.

getCPUTime :: FormatM (Maybe Double) Source

Get the used CPU time since the test run has been started.

getRealTime :: FormatM Double Source

Get the passed real time since the test run has been started.

Appending to the gerenated report

write :: String -> FormatM () Source

Append some output to the report.

writeLine :: String -> FormatM () Source

The same as write, but adds a newline character.

newParagraph :: FormatM () Source

Deprecated: use writeLine "" instead

Append an empty line to the report.

Calling this multiple times has the same effect as calling it once.

Dealing with colors

withInfoColor :: FormatM a -> FormatM a Source

Set output color to cyan, run given action, and finally restore the default color.

withSuccessColor :: FormatM a -> FormatM a Source

Set output color to green, run given action, and finally restore the default color.

withPendingColor :: FormatM a -> FormatM a Source

Set output color to yellow, run given action, and finally restore the default color.

withFailColor :: FormatM a -> FormatM a Source

Set output color to red, run given action, and finally restore the default color.

Helpers

formatException :: SomeException -> String Source

The function formatException converts an exception to a string.

This is different from show. The type of the exception is included, e.g.:

>>> formatException (toException DivideByZero)
"ArithException (divide by zero)"

For IOExceptions the IOErrorType is included, as well.
