#930: cabal test is dropping --test-option flags
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: tibbe | Owner: ttuegel

Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.10.2.0
Severity: normal | Keywords:

Platform: |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Adding two `--test-option` flags doesn't work correctly. For example, this
{{{
cabal test --test-option=--plain
}}}
causes cabal to (correctly) pass the `--plain` flag to the underlying
test-framework binary. However, this
{{{
cabal test --test-option=--plain --test-option=--jxml=dist/unit-tests.xml
}}}
drops it on the ground. Some debug output
{{{
cabal test --test-option=--plain --test-option=--jxml=dist/unit-tests.xml
-v3
Using external setup method with build-type Custom
Creating ./dist/setup (and its parents)
Using Cabal library version 1.14.0
Using ./Setup.hs as setup script.
./dist/setup/setup test --verbose=3 --test-options=--jxml=dist/unit-
tests.xml
--test-option=--jxml=dist/unit-tests.xml
}}}
There looks like there's an extra newline in the `./dist/setup/setup`
invocation, perhaps that's the issue?
The problem can be reproduced on Cabal's own test suite.
