Setting up a test suite in HSpec

How do I specify test suites in HSpec? I'm going to have multiple *.hs test files for each of my modules and I want to just run stack test and for all of the tests to run. How do I set that up?

I tried to list the test modules like this in my cabal file but it doesn't work:

test-suite foo-test
  type:                exitcode-stdio-1.0
  hs-source-dirs:      test
  main-is:             Spec.hs
                     , Mod1Spec.hs
  build-depends:       base
                     , containers >= 0.5.6.2
                     , hqfl
                     , hspec >= 2.2.3
                     , hspec >= 2.2.3
                     , mtl >= 2.2.1
                     , pipes >= 4.1.8
                     , random >= 1.1
  ghc-options:         -threaded -rtsopts -with-rtsopts=-N

Solution

  • Here is some docs on hspec testing:

    http://hspec.github.io/hspec-discover.html

    If your main spec module contains just the lines:

    {-# OPTIONS_GHC -F -pgmF hspec-discover #-}

    hspec-discover will scan the directory tree for spec tests.

    Also - here is a small hspec example:
