Do doctests test suites always need to depend on the library?
RyanGlScott opened this issue · 15 comments
It seems that doctests
test suites might always have an implicit dependency on the library being tested. I noticed this when doing the following:
$ cabal get parsers-0.12.5

$ cd parsers-0.12.5/
$ cabal configure --enable-tests

The culprit appears to be that the doctests
test suite in parsers
lacks an explicit dependency on the parsers
library. If I add that, then cabal test doctests
works as expected.
Currently, we advise users in the documentation to depend on the library in a doctests
test suite only in the event that one uses cbits
, but perhaps we should always be advising this?
@RyanGlScott can you paste the output of cabal test doctest
(the test.log) in successful case?
And also find dist
?
Note: there is no need to depend on the library, as we should pass everything to doctests
to load the package in GHCi. In that scenari we seem to forget something...
(cbits
is different...)

Note: there is no need to depend on the library, as we should pass everything to
doctests
to load the package in GHCi. In that scenari we seem to forget something...
My hunch is that dist/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h
only gets built when the library is built. If you only build the doctests
test suite, then the only thing that gets built is dist/build/doctests/autogen/cabal_macros.h
.
@RyanGlScott is it so, when there isn't dependency on parsers
in test-suite, and you say cabal test doctest
then the library isn't build?
@RyanGlScott exactly. So we don't really depend on the library, but we depend on the fact it should be configured (not built!)
I have to think about this.
I cannot reproduce this. Which cabal-install
do you use?
I've reproduced this with both 2.0 and 1.24.
Make sure you're doing this from a completely clean build, since the presence of dist/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h
will affect whether you can trigger the error or not.
I see. I cannot reproduce it with GHC-8.0.2, but I can with GHC-8.2.1
CC @angerman who contributed the doctest feature. It's probably just a simple bug. Oops, this is a bug on cabal-doctest, not the new native doctest support in Setup.
The most likely reason why this only repros on GHC 8.2 is because GHC 8.2 is bundled with Cabal 2.0, which correctly generates separate cabal_macros.h
for each component (and not just a single cabal_macros.h for the entire package.) So it is probably a bug in cabal-doctest where it is looking for the library macro, when it really should not: it should look at the component specific macro. See haskell/cabal#1893
FWIW, I also recall experiencing this issue (having the test suites build before the library after invoking cabal test
, where the test suites don't list the library as a dependency) when upgrading singletons
to use Cabal-2.0
, and singletons
doesn't use a custom setup script. (See goldfirere/singletons#182 (comment).) At the time, I gave up and just made the test suite list the singletons
library as an explicit dependency.
