Add automated tests #25

Closed srid closed 1 year ago

What is the best way to add tests for this repo? cc @roberth

I normally test branches against another branch of https://github.com/srid/haskell-template - but having something automated would be nice. https://github.com/numtide/treefmt-nix/tree/master/tests uses a sub-flake for tests.

Doesn't that lock the test's "parent" input? In flake-parts I went out of my way to avoid depending on the parent (https://github.com/hercules-ci/flake-parts/blob/main/dev/default.nix) but I don't think we should repeat that here. (But maybe I'm wrong about that) I'm kind of hoping for the lazy trees to fix the .. lock problem.

Pending better ways, I'm inclined to go with the approach of https://github.com/Platonic-Systems/mission-control

We also get an example and flake template for free.
