Test.Hspec.Core.Formatters

This module contains formatters that can be used with hspecWith.

Formatters

silent :: Formatter

specdoc :: Formatter

progress :: Formatter

failed_examples :: Formatter

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

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

  used to notify the progress of the currently evaluated example

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

• exampleSucceeded :: Path -> String -> FormatM ()

  evaluated after each successful example

• exampleFailed :: Path -> String -> FailureReason -> FormatM ()

  evaluated after each failed example

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

  evaluated after each pending example

• failedFormatter :: FormatM ()

  evaluated after a test run

• footerFormatter :: FormatM ()

  evaluated after failuresFormatter

getCPUTime :: FormatM (Maybe Seconds)

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

getRealTime :: FormatM Seconds

Appending to the generated report

write :: String -> FormatM ()

Append some output to the report.

writeLine :: String -> FormatM ()

The same as write, but adds a newline character.

writeTransient :: String -> FormatM ()

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.

extraChunk :: String -> FormatM ()

Output given chunk in red.

missingChunk :: String -> FormatM ()

Output given chunk in green.

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.
