I have simple unit test code for Haskell's HUnit. I use Mac OS X 10.10, and I installed HUnit with cabal install hunit
.
module TestSafePrelude where
import SafePrelude( safeHead )
import Test.HUnit
testSafeHeadForEmptyList :: Test
testSafeHeadForEmptyList =
TestCase $ assertEqual "Should return Nothing for empty list"
Nothing (safeHead ([]::[Int]))
testSafeHeadForNonEmptyList :: Test
testSafeHeadForNonEmptyList =
TestCase $ assertEqual "Should return (Just head) for non empty list" (Just 1)
(safeHead ([1]::[Int]))
main :: IO Counts
main = runTestTT $ TestList [testSafeHeadForEmptyList, testSafeHeadForNonEmptyList]
I can execute it with runhaskell TestSafePrelude.hs
to get the results:
Cases: 2 Tried: 2 Errors: 0 Failures: 0
Counts {cases = 2, tried = 2, errors = 0, failures = 0}
However, when I run it in Code Runner, I have error message that can't find the HUnit module.
CodeRunner launches the test on a different shell environment, and this seems to be the issue. If so, what environment variables need to be added? If not, what might be causing the problem?
I also find that ghc-pkg list
from the CodeRunner does not search for the directories in ~/.ghc
which contains the HUnit.
/usr/local/Cellar/ghc/7.8.3/lib/ghc-7.8.3/package.conf.d:
Cabal-1.18.1.4
array-0.5.0.0
...
xhtml-3000.2.1
This is the results when executed in shell:
/usr/local/Cellar/ghc/7.8.3/lib/ghc-7.8.3/package.conf.d
Cabal-1.18.1.4
array-0.5.0.0
...
/Users/smcho/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-7.8.3/package.conf.d
...
HUnit-1.2.5.2
...
zlib-0.5.4.2
I added both ~/.cabal
and ~/.ghc
in the path, but it doesn't work.
The problem was the $HOME
setup change. I used different $HOME for CodeRunner, but Haskell searches for $HOME/.cabal and $HOME/.ghc for installed package.
After my resetting $HOME to correct location, everything works fine.
