tasty-silver: A fancy test runner, including support for golden tests.
This package provides a fancy test runner and support for «golden testing». A golden test is an IO action that writes its result to a file. To pass the test, this output file should be identical to the corresponding «golden» file, which contains the correct result for the test. The test runner allows filtering tests using regexes, and to interactively inspect the result of golden tests. This package is a heavily extended fork of tasty-golden.

[back to package description]
Tasty Silver
This package provides support for «golden testing».
A golden test is an IO action that writes its result to a file. To pass the test, this output file should be identical to the corresponding «golden» file, which contains the correct result for the test.
Interactive Mode
If the test runner is called with the -i option, the diff of any failing golden test is shown
to the user. Based upon this diff, the user can choose to update the golden standard or to
fix the test case as necessary. Interactive mode requires that at least git diff and less is
available, or preferrably wdiff and colordiff for character-based diffs.
Examples
For a non-trivial example see the Agda tests, which is used for testing the Agda compiler.
