So is there a high-level comparison of HSpec and tasty? The only difference I've glimpsed so far was that HSpec has a syntactic sugar for describing tests which, honestly, I haven't found very useful. So, could someone write up a quick comparison of the two for the benefit of the folks like me who have a lot of test-framework tests and have to switch to either tasty or hspec?

My answer to this and many similar questions regarding tasty is:

- I am probably not going to work on this
- but I would be happy to see someone doing it

Note that hspec-test-framework is a separate package, and it didn't have
to be written or even approved by Simon. Same here — please write more
supplementary packages if you feel a need.

Hi Simon,

this is an exciting news!

May I ask the question that maybe is lurking in the shadow?

Due to the recent announcement of Roman's "tasty" library, are there plans
to basically release something similar to hspec-test-framework and
hspec-test-framework-th but targeting tasty instead?

Bye :)
A.

Hi,
I just released hspec-test-framework[1] and hspec-test-framework-th[2]
to Hackage.

They can be used to run test-framework tests with Hspec unmodified.

This can also be used to work around test-framework's incompatibility
with QuickCheck-2.6 and base-4.7.0 ;)

Have a look at the README for usage instructions:

Cheers,
Simon
