[Haskell-cafe] Problems using tasty-golden

Thanks for quick reply Roman (and sorry for my slow reply - I was AFK for the weekend).

Yes, that works. I wonder why no one stumbled upon this problem before.

Oh, right. I couldn't get this right because I set wrong CWD for the GHC process.

No, I don't have any special needs. It's just that my cmp function has to cover all possible 
cases - including when the file loading function returns Left - so I figured out I can handle the 
potential error there and have my own error message. But that's not really necessary, which means 
I can get rid of my custom cgReadFile altogether and use (fmap Right $ vgReadFile path).

Once again thank you.
