#824: cabal install --enable-tests does not install test dependencies.
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: creswick | Owner:

Severity: normal | Keywords:

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Cabal install normally installs all the necessary project dependencies;
however, this is not happening for the dependencies specified in the Test-
suite stanzas. Here's an example cabal file:
{{{
Name: foo
Version: 1.0
License: BSD3
Cabal-Version: >= 1.9.2
Build-Type: Simple
executable foo
main-is: foo.hs
build-depends: base
, xml == 1.3.7
Test-Suite test-foo
type: exitcode-stdio-1.0
main-is: test-foo.hs
build-depends: base
, QuickCheck >= 2.0
}}}
`cabal install` will install xml if necessary, then build foo, but `cabal
install --enable-tests` complains that QuickCheck is not available:
{{{
$ cabal install --enable-tests
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring foo-1.0...
cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing:
QuickCheck >=2.0
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
foo-1.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
}}}
This causes some problems when building tests with `cabal-dev`:

(Using cabal-install 0.10.2 built with Cabal 1.10.1.0)
