The generic Haskell builder should call test suites directly instead of relying on "cabal test" #12468

Open peti opened 8 years ago

peti commented 8 years ago

@snoyberg suggests in https://github.com/hspec/hspec/issues/232#issuecomment-172793787 that Stackage gets more reliable results from test suites when calling them directly instead of relying on ./Setup test, which has a tendency to lose screen output. So I suppose we should try that, see whether the change breaks any currently succeeding builds, and go for it if it doesn't.

This sounds like a really good idea, we've been hitting https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3075

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
  3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
