THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL STUFF! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
In its simplest form, you run sensei
with the Main
module of your test
suite as an argument:
sensei test/Spec.hs
Note that sensei
picks up options from .ghci
-files. You can provide
additional GHC options on the command line:
sensei -isrc -itest test/Spec.hs
Command-line arguments that look like Hspec options are passed to Hspec. To avoid ambiguity, GHC options have to be given before any Hspec options:
sensei -isrc -itest test/Spec.hs --no-color --match foo
All command-line arguments after the last --
are passed to Hspec, regardless
of how they look:
sensei -isrc -itest test/Spec.hs -- --no-color --match foo
By default, sensei
treats warnings as errors. You can pass -Wwarn
on the
command line to prevent this behavior. However, consider to adjust the warning
behavior instead (e.g. through -w
, -Wdefault
, -Wall
).
When sensei
is used inside a Git repository, it ignores modifications to
files that are ignored by git
.
cabal exec sensei test/Spec.hs
You can access the results of the last test run with seito
:
seito
Alternatively, if you have curl
version 7.40.0
or newer, you can use curl
instead:
curl --unix-socket .sensei.sock http://localhost/
You can use sensei
to load the result of the last test run into your quickfix
list by executing :make
in Vim.
For this to work, you can either create a Makefile
or set makeprg
to a
custom value.
(In both cases, sed
is used to strip ANSI color sequences.)
Create a Makefile with the following content:
all:
@seito | sed 's/\x1B\[[0-9;]*[JKmsu]//g'
Add the following to your Vim configuration (e.g.
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/haskell.vim
):
:set makeprg=seito\ \\\|\ sed\ 's/\\x1B\\[[0-9;]*[JKmsu]//g'
Similarly, you can use sensei
to load the result of the last test run into an
Emacs buffer by executing M-x compile
in Emacs.
For this to work, you can create a Makefile
as described in Option 1 above.
