add support for running tests with `spago test`
Spago has a test
command that makes it easy to run tests. PureNix probably needs something added to be able to work with spago test
.
This hasn't really been a problem up until now, since none of the PureNix libraries have tests. But now there is a tasty
-like testing framework for PureNix (https://github.com/thought2/purescript-miraculix by @thought2), so it would be really convenient to be able to run tests directly with spago test
.
Someone interested in implementing this may want to do the following:
-
Investigate the Spago codebase to find out exactly what it does when running
spago test
.I imagine this function is a good place to start: https://github.com/purescript/spago/blob/aa7c0de6d903262f69452663c09fad9c441af8d3/src/Spago/Build.hs#L241-L256
Keep in mind that it is quite possible there are two different code-paths here, one for the normal JS backend and one for alternative backends (like PureNix).
It would be great if you could leave a comment on this issue with exactly what you figured out.
-
Optionally go on the PureScript Discord and ask in
#compiler
or#purerl
how the Erlang backend handlesspago test
. They may have some good suggestions. -
Decide on how PureNix should handle
spago test
, and leave a short comment here with how you see this working. -
Send a PR implementing whatever is necessary.
