You need Cabal 1.12 for '--enable-library-coverage'. The only place it's documented is in 'cabal configure --help' (a major oversight on my part). The online docs for Cabal are only from version 1.10 anyway, so that wouldn't have helped. I'm sorry for your struggles getting the detailed type to work. It's a known issue: the detailed test interface is intentionally disabled in all the released versions because it's going to change. That's why none of the test libraries support it yet and why you weren't able to get it to work. -- Thomas Tuegel _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
