Description

This module provides access to Hspec's internals. It is less stable than other parts of the API. For most users Test.Hspec is more suitable!

Synopsis

Defining a spec

it :: (HasCallStack, Example a) => String -> a -> SpecWith (Arg a) Source #

The it function creates a spec item.

A spec item consists of:

  • a textual description of a desired behavior
  • an example for that behavior
describe "absolute" $ do
  it "returns a positive number when given a negative number" $
    absolute (-1) == 1

specify :: (HasCallStack, Example a) => String -> a -> SpecWith (Arg a) Source #

specify is an alias for it.

describe :: String -> SpecWith a -> SpecWith a Source #

The describe function combines a list of specs into a larger spec.

context :: String -> SpecWith a -> SpecWith a Source #

context is an alias for describe.

pending :: Expectation Source #

pending can be used to mark a spec item as pending.

If you want to textually specify a behavior but do not have an example yet, use this:

describe "fancyFormatter" $ do
  it "can format text in a way that everyone likes" $
    pending

pendingWith :: String -> Expectation Source #

pendingWith is similar to pending, but it takes an additional string argument that can be used to specify the reason for why the spec item is pending.

xit :: (HasCallStack, Example a) => String -> a -> SpecWith (Arg a) Source #

Changing it to xit marks the corresponding spec item as pending.

This can be used to temporarily disable a spec item.

xspecify :: (HasCallStack, Example a) => String -> a -> SpecWith (Arg a) Source #

xspecify is an alias for xit.

xdescribe :: String -> SpecWith a -> SpecWith a Source #

Changing describe to xdescribe marks all spec items of the corresponding subtree as pending.

This can be used to temporarily disable spec items.

xcontext :: String -> SpecWith a -> SpecWith a Source #

xcontext is an alias for xdescribe.

parallel :: SpecWith a -> SpecWith a Source #

parallel marks all spec items of the given spec to be safe for parallel evaluation.

The SpecM monad

type Spec = SpecWith () Source #

type SpecWith a = SpecM a () Source #

newtype SpecM a r Source #

A writer monad for SpecTree forests

Constructors

SpecM (WriterT [SpecTree a] IO r) 

Instances

Monad (SpecM a) Source #

return :: a -> SpecM a a #

fail :: String -> SpecM a a #

Functor (SpecM a) Source # 

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> SpecM a a -> SpecM a b #

Applicative (SpecM a) Source # 

Methods

pure :: a -> SpecM a a #

(<*>) :: SpecM a (a -> b) -> SpecM a a -> SpecM a b #

(*>) :: SpecM a a -> SpecM a b -> SpecM a b #

(<*) :: SpecM a a -> SpecM a b -> SpecM a a #

runSpecM :: SpecWith a -> IO [SpecTree a] Source #

Convert a Spec to a forest of SpecTrees.

fromSpecList :: [SpecTree a] -> SpecWith a Source #

Create a Spec from a forest of SpecTrees.

runIO :: IO r -> SpecM a r Source #

Run an IO action while constructing the spec tree.

SpecM is a monad to construct a spec tree, without executing any spec items. runIO allows you to run IO actions during this construction phase. The IO action is always run when the spec tree is constructed (e.g. even when --dry-run is specified). If you do not need the result of the IO action to construct the spec tree, beforeAll may be more suitable for your use case.

Item is used to represent spec items internally. A spec item consists of:

  • an example for that behavior
  • additional meta information

Everything that is an instance of the Example type class can be used as an example, including QuickCheck properties, Hspec expectations and HUnit assertions.
