[Haskell-cafe] test-framework success

[Simon Michael]

Max - I was thinking about how to drive my new shell tests with your  
framework. I have:

data ShellTest = ShellTest {
      filename         ∷ String
     ,command          ∷ String
     ,stdin            ∷ Maybe String
     ,stdoutExpected   ∷ Maybe String
     ,stderrExpected   ∷ Maybe String
     ,exitCodeExpected ∷ Maybe ExitCode
     } deriving (Show)

parseShellTest ∷ FilePath → IO ShellTest
runShellTest ∷ ShellTest → IO Bool

I converted to hunit tests with

shellTestToHUnitTest t = filename t ~: do {r ← runShellTest t;  
assertBool "" r}

and tied test-framework into my test runner with

main = do
   args ← getArgs
   let (opts,files) = partition ((=="-").take 1) args
   hunittests ←  mapM (λf → parseShellTest f >>= (return ∘  
shellTestToHUnitTest)) files
   withArgs opts $ defaultMain $ concatMap hUnitTestToTests hunittests

With surprisingly little code and pain, the new runner runs my 14  
shell tests, with colored output, in the same time as the old one -  
3.5s on this macbook.

But, I can now add -j8 and get the same results output in.. 0.13s.  
This quite surprised me, and now I want to say: thank you very much! :)

Best,
-Simon
