We have a ticket for that, I hope this will get into the next release.

I was wondering whether doctest could somehow be integrated with Haskell's test-framework[1] and/or HTF package[2], as an additional test-provider, as I tend to write trivial test-cases as haddock comments but more extensive ones as dedicated unit-tests.

One reason: if that's the convention, then you don't have the problem of "how do I list that package in my .cabal file, is it doctest, Doctest or DocTest?" Also, some distro package managers prefer lowercase package names. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: doctest-0.3.0
I just uploaded a new version of doctest[1] to Hackage. WHAT IS doctest? doctest is a port of Python's doctest[2] to Haskell. It can be used to verify, that examples in Haddock comments[3] do still work. This also provides you with a simple mechanism to write unit test, without the burden of maintaining a dedicated test suite. A basic example of usage is at [4]. WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION? === It is now possible to intersperse comments between a longer, continuing example. All examples within the same comment now share a namespace. The following now works : -- | Calculate Fibonacci number of given 'Num'. -- -- First let's set `n` to ten: -- -- >>> let n = 10 -- -- And now calculate the 10th Fibonacci number: -- -- >>> fib n -- 55 fib :: Integer -> Integer fib 0 = 0 fib 1 = 1 fib n = fib (n - 1) + fib (n - 2) Thanks to Sakari Jokinen for this contribution! In addition I changed the name from DocTest to doctest. I think using all lower-case package names is a good thing. And as we will use doctest as a library in the near future, this was the last chance for this change.
