# Working with the test tree

data TestTree #

The main data structure defining a test suite.

It consists of individual test cases and properties, organized in named groups which form a tree-like hierarchy.

There is no generic way to create a test case. Instead, every test provider (tasty-hunit, tasty-smallcheck etc.) provides a function to turn a test case into a `TestTree`.

Groups can be created using `testGroup`.

Since: 0.1

Constructors

IsTest t => SingleTest TestName t | A single test of some particular type
TestGroup TestName [TestTree] | Assemble a number of tests into a cohesive group
PlusTestOptions (OptionSet -> OptionSet) TestTree | Add some options to child tests
WithResource (ResourceSpec a) (IO a -> TestTree) | Acquire the resource before the tests in the inner tree start and release it after they finish. The tree gets an `IO` action which yields the resource, although the resource is shared across all the tests. Since: 0.5
AskOptions (OptionSet -> TestTree) | Ask for the options and customize the tests based on them. Since: 0.6
After DependencyType Expr TestTree | Only run after all tests that match a given pattern finish (and, depending on the `DependencyType`, succeed). Since: 1.2

foldTestTree #

Arguments

:: Monoid b |
=> TreeFold b | the algebra (i.e. how to fold a tree)
-> OptionSet | initial options
-> TestTree | the tree to fold
-> b |

Fold a test tree into a single value.

The fold result type should be a monoid. This is used to fold multiple results in a test group. In particular, empty groups get folded into `mempty`.

Apart from pure convenience, this function also does the following useful things:

1. Keeping track of the current options (which may change due to `PlusTestOptions` nodes)
2. Filtering out the tests which do not match the patterns

Thus, it is preferred to an explicit recursive traversal of the tree.

Since: 0.7

data TreeFold b #

An algebra for folding a `TestTree`.

Instead of constructing fresh records, build upon `trivialFold` instead. This way your code won't break when new nodes/fields are indroduced.

Since: 0.7

Constructors

TreeFold |
Fields foldSingle :: forall t. IsTest t => OptionSet -> TestName -> t -> b foldGroup :: OptionSet -> TestName -> [b] -> b Since: 1.4 foldResource :: forall a. OptionSet -> ResourceSpec a -> (IO a -> b) -> b foldAfter :: OptionSet -> DependencyType -> Expr -> b -> b Since: 1.2

trivialFold :: Monoid b => TreeFold b #

`trivialFold` can serve as the basis for custom folds. Just override the fields you need.

Here's what it does:

- single tests are mapped to `mempty` (you probably do want to override that)
- test groups are returned unmodified
- for a resource, an IO action that throws an exception is passed (you want to override this for runners/ingredients that execute tests)

Since: 0.7

data ResourceSpec a #

`ResourceSpec` describes how to acquire a resource (the first field) and how to release it (the second field).

Since: 0.6

Constructors

# Ingredients

data Ingredient #

`Ingredient`s make your test suite tasty.

Ingredients represent different actions that you can perform on your test suite. One obvious ingredient that you want to include is one that runs tests and reports the progress and results.

Another standard ingredient is one that simply prints the names of all tests.

Similar to test providers (see `IsTest`), every ingredient may specify which options it cares about, so that those options are presented to the user if the ingredient is included in the test suite.

An ingredient can choose, typically based on the `OptionSet`, whether to run. That's what the `Maybe` is for. The first ingredient that agreed to run does its work, and the remaining ingredients are ignored. Thus, the order in which you arrange the ingredients may matter.

Usually, the ingredient which runs the tests is unconditional and thus should be placed last in the list. Other ingredients usually run only if explicitly requested via an option. Their relative order thus doesn't matter.

That's all you need to know from an (advanced) user perspective. Read on if you want to create a new ingredient.

There are two kinds of ingredients.

The first kind is `TestReporter`. If the ingredient that agrees to run is a `TestReporter`, then tasty will automatically launch the tests and pass a `StatusMap` to the ingredient. All the ingredient needs to do then is to process the test results and probably report them to the user in some way (hence the name).

`TestManager` is the second kind of ingredient. It is typically used for test management purposes (such as listing the test names), although it can also be used for running tests (but, unlike `TestReporter`, it has to launch the tests manually if it wants them to be run). It is therefore more general than `TestReporter`. `TestReporter` is provided just for convenience.

The function's result should indicate whether all the tests passed.

In the `TestManager` case, it's up to the ingredient author to decide what the result should be. When no tests are run, the result should probably be `True`. Sometimes, even if some tests run and fail, it still makes sense to return `True`.

Constructors

TestReporter [OptionDescription] (OptionSet -> TestTree -> Maybe (StatusMap -> IO (Time -> IO Bool))) | For the explanation on how the callback works, see the documentation for `launchTestTree`. Since: 0.10
TestManager [OptionDescription] (OptionSet -> TestTree -> Maybe (IO Bool)) | Since: 0.4

type Time = Double #

Time in seconds. Used to measure how long the tests took to run.

Since: 0.10

tryIngredients :: [Ingredient] -> OptionSet -> TestTree -> Maybe (IO Bool) #

Run the first `Ingredient` that agrees to be run.

If no one accepts the task, return `Nothing`. This is usually a sign of misconfiguration.

Since: 0.4

ingredientOptions :: Ingredient -> [OptionDescription] #

Return the options which are relevant for the given ingredient.

Note that this isn't the same as simply pattern-matching on `Ingredient`. E.g. options for a `TestReporter` automatically include `NumThreads`.

Since: 0.4

ingredientsOptions :: [Ingredient] -> [OptionDescription] #

Like `ingredientOptions`, but folds over multiple ingredients.

Since: 0.4

# Standard console ingredients

NOTE: the exports in this section are deprecated and will be removed in the future. Please import Test.Tasty.Ingredients.Basic if you need them.

## Console test reporter

consoleTestReporter :: Ingredient #

A simple console UI.

Since: 0.4

## Tests list

listingTests :: Ingredient #

The ingredient that provides the test listing functionality.

Since: 0.4

newtype ListTests #

This option, when set to `True`, specifies that we should run in the «list tests» mode.

testsNames :: OptionSet -> TestTree -> [TestName] #

Obtain the list of all tests in the suite.

Since: 0.4

# Command line handling

parseOptions :: [Ingredient] -> TestTree -> IO OptionSet #

Parse the command-line and environment options passed to tasty.

Useful if you need to get the options before `defaultMain` is called.

Once within the test tree, `askOption` should be used instead.

The arguments to this function should be the same as for `defaultMainWithIngredients`. If you don't use any custom ingredients, pass `defaultIngredients`.

Since: 1.2.2

optionParser :: [OptionDescription] -> ([String], Parser OptionSet) #

Generate a command line parser from a list of option descriptions, alongside any related warning messages.

Since: 1.3

suiteOptionParser :: [Ingredient] -> TestTree -> ([String], Parser OptionSet) #

The command line parser for the test suite, alongside any related warnings.

Since: 1.3

defaultMainWithIngredients :: [Ingredient] -> TestTree -> IO () #

Parse the command line arguments and run the tests using the provided ingredient list.

When the tests finish, this function calls `exitWith` with the exit code that indicates whether any tests have failed. See `defaultMain` for details.

Since: 0.4

# Running tests

data Status #

Current status of a test.

A test result.

Since: 0.1

Constructors

Result |
Fields resultOutcome :: Outcome Did the test fail? If so, why? resultDescription :: String `resultDescription` may contain some details about the test. For a passed test it's ok to leave it empty. Providers like SmallCheck and QuickCheck use it to provide information about how many tests were generated. For a failed test, `resultDescription` should typically provide more information about the failure. Since: 0.11 resultShortDescription :: String The short description printed in the test run summary, usually `OK` or `FAIL`. Since: 0.10 resultTime :: Time How long it took to run the test, in seconds. resultDetailsPrinter :: ResultDetailsPrinter An action that prints additional information about a test. This is similar to `resultDescription` except it can produce colorful/formatted output; see Test.Tasty.Providers.ConsoleFormat. This can be used instead of or in addition to `resultDescription`. Usually this is set to `noResultDetails`, which does nothing. Since: 1.3.1

If a test failed, `FailureReason` describes why.

Since: 0.8

Constructors

TestFailed | test provider indicated failure of the code to test, either because the tested code returned wrong results, or raised an exception
TestThrewException SomeException | the test code itself raised an exception. Typical cases include missing example input or output files. Usually, providers do not have to implement this, as their `run` method may simply raise an exception.

Since: 0.1

launchTestTree #

Arguments

:: OptionSet |
-> TestTree |
-> (StatusMap -> IO (Time -> IO a)) | A callback. First, it receives the `StatusMap` through which it can observe the execution of tests in real time. Typically (but not necessarily), it waits until all the tests are finished. After this callback returns, the test-running threads (if any) are terminated and all resources acquired by tests are released. The callback must return another callback (of type ``Time` -> `IO` a`) which additionally can report and/or record the total time taken by the test suite. This time includes the time taken to run all resource initializers and finalizers, which is why it is more accurate than what could be measured from inside the first callback.
-> IO a |

Start running the tests (in background, in parallel) and pass control to the callback.

Once the callback returns, stop running the tests.

The number of test running threads is determined by the `NumThreads` option.

Since: 0.10

newtype NumThreads #

Number of parallel threads to use for running tests.

Note that this is not included in `coreOptions`. Instead, it's automatically included in the options for any `TestReporter` ingredient by `ingredientOptions`, because the way test reporters are handled already involves parallelism. Other ingredients may also choose to include this option.

# Utilities

installSignalHandlers :: IO () #

Install signal handlers so that e.g. the cursor is restored if the test suite is killed by SIGTERM. Upon a signal, a `SignalException` will be thrown to the thread that has executed this action.

This function is called automatically from the `defaultMain*` family of functions. You only need to call it explicitly if you call `tryIngredients` yourself.

This function does nothing when POSIX signals are not supported.

Since: 1.2.1

timed :: IO a -> IO (Time, a) #

Measure the time taken by an `IO` action to run.

Since: 1.2.2

forceElements :: [a] -> () #

Force elements of a list (https://ro-che.info/articles/2015-05-28-force-list).

Since: 1.0.1

formatMessage :: String -> IO String #

Catch possible exceptions that may arise when evaluating a string. For normal (total) strings, this is a no-op.

This function should be used to display messages generated by the test suite (such as test result descriptions).

See e.g. https://github.com/UnkindPartition/tasty/issues/25.

Since: 0.10.1

newtype SignalException #

This exception is thrown when the program receives a signal, assuming `installSignalHandlers` was called.

The `CInt` field contains the signal number, as in `Signal`. We don't use that type synonym, however, because it's not available on non-UNIXes.

Since: 1.2.1
