Implementing a custom Formatter

A formatter is a set of actions. Each action is evaluated when a certain situation is encountered during a test run.

Actions live in the FormatM monad. It provides access to the runner state and primitives for appending to the generated report.

data Formatter

Constructors

Formatter

Fields

• headerFormatter :: FormatM ()
• exampleGroupStarted :: [String] -> String -> FormatM ()

  evaluated before each test group

  The given number indicates the position within the parent group.

• exampleGroupDone :: FormatM ()
• exampleProgress :: Handle -> Path -> Progress -> IO ()

  used to notify the progress of the currently evaluated example

  Note: This is only called when interactive/color mode.

• exampleSucceeded :: Path -> FormatM ()

  evaluated after each successful example

• exampleFailed :: Path -> Either SomeException String -> FormatM ()

  evaluated after each failed example

• examplePending :: Path -> Maybe String -> FormatM ()

  evaluated after each pending example

• failedFormatter :: FormatM ()

  evaluated after a test run

• footerFormatter :: FormatM ()

  evaluated after failuresFormatter

data FormatM a

Instances

Monad FormatM

Methods

(>>=) :: FormatM a -> (a -> FormatM b) -> FormatM b

(>>) :: FormatM a -> FormatM b -> FormatM b

return :: a -> FormatM a

fail :: String -> FormatM a

Functor FormatM

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> FormatM a -> FormatM b

(<$) :: a -> FormatM b -> FormatM a

Applicative FormatM

Methods

pure :: a -> FormatM a

(<*>) :: FormatM (a -> b) -> FormatM a -> FormatM b

(*>) :: FormatM a -> FormatM b -> FormatM b

(<*) :: FormatM a -> FormatM b -> FormatM a

MonadIO FormatM

Methods

liftIO :: IO a -> FormatM a

Accessing the runner state

getSuccessCount :: FormatM Int

Get the number of successful examples encountered so far.

getPendingCount :: FormatM Int

Get the number of pending examples encountered so far.

getFailCount :: FormatM Int

Get the number of failed examples encountered so far.

getTotalCount :: FormatM Int

Get the total number of examples encountered so far.

data FailureRecord

Constructors

FailureRecord

Fields

• failureRecordLocation :: Maybe Location
• failureRecordPath :: Path
• failureRecordMessage :: Either SomeException String

getFailMessages :: FormatM [FailureRecord]

Get the list of accumulated failure messages.

usedSeed :: FormatM Integer

The random seed that is used for QuickCheck.

getCPUTime :: FormatM (Maybe Double)

Get the used CPU time since the test run has been started.

getRealTime :: FormatM Double

Get the passed real time since the test run has been started.

Appending to the gerenated report

write :: String -> FormatM ()

Append some output to the report.

writeLine :: String -> FormatM ()

The same as write, but adds a newline character.

newParagraph :: FormatM ()

Deprecated: use writeLine "" instead

Append an empty line to the report.

Calling this multiple times has the same effect as calling it once.

Dealing with colors

withInfoColor :: FormatM a -> FormatM a

Set output color to cyan, run given action, and finally restore the default color.

withSuccessColor :: FormatM a -> FormatM a

Set output color to green, run given action, and finally restore the default color.

withPendingColor :: FormatM a -> FormatM a

Set output color to yellow, run given action, and finally restore the default color.

withFailColor :: FormatM a -> FormatM a

Set output color to red, run given action, and finally restore the default color.

Helpers

formatException :: SomeException -> String

The function formatException converts an exception to a string.

This is different from show. The type of the exception is included, e.g.:

>>> formatException (toException DivideByZero)
"ArithException (divide by zero)"

For IOExceptions the IOErrorType is included, as well.
