Could not find module ‘Test.Hspec.Discover’


I am a noob.

I have tried to copy and paste a single Hspec/QuickCheck test out of a bigger project into my own so I can tweak it and see how it behaves.

I have a structure like:

myproject/test/Spec.hs
myproject/test/mytest.hs

Copying from the other project my Spec.hs just has:

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

This is exactly the same as the example shown in the docs: http://hspec.github.io/hspec-discover.html

Additionally I have in my package.yml:

tests:
  myproject-test:
    main:                Spec.hs
    source-dirs:         test
    ghc-options:
    - -threaded
    - -rtsopts
    - -with-rtsopts=-N
    dependencies:
    - myproject
    - QuickCheck
    - hspec-megaparsec
    - hspec-discover

When I run stack test I get the following error:

    Perhaps you meant

There's a lot I don't understand. But the main puzzle here is the output appears to show that hspec-discover-2.6.1 was successfully installed.

I have not written Test.Hspec.Discover anywhere in my bits of code so I have to assume the error comes from {-# OPTIONS_GHC -F -pgmF hspec-discover #-} (also the error message points to Spec.hs as the source).

Um, what am I doing wrong? hspec-discover can't find itself?


Solution

  • Doing a Hoogle search for that module name shows that it is in hspec, not hspec-discover. Please try adding a test suite dependency on hspec.
