TODO:

• [x] https://github.com/sol/doctest/pull/439
• [x] Get rid of the cabal build step by capturing the REPL arguments with --repl-multi-file. This possibly also needs --keep-temp-files. Then call doctest with --no-magic. https://github.com/sol/doctest/pull/441
• [x] accept component, eg cabal doctest spec https://github.com/sol/doctest/pull/442
• [ ] Accept --ignore-project
• [ ] Accept --list-options
• [ ] Accept --help
• [ ] Accept --dry-run
• [ ] Directly accept doctest options like --verbose or --fast
• [ ] Allow to disable QuickCheck to avoid dependency cycles. https://github.com/haskell/random/pull/165

Thanks for your work on this!

I've just noticed that there is an issue when multi-repl: True is present in a cabal.project. The repl loads the target but doesn't run the tests:

Similarly, when I try cabal doctest all it requires multi-repl: True but if enabled it just drops me into a repl with all the modules loaded.

@hsyl20 does passing --disable-multi-repl to cabal doctest on the command line work as a workaround?

[hsyl20]

@sol Yes it does
