Hspec: A Testing Framework for Haskell

Contents

Running tests with Hspec

To run Hspec tests we have to define an executable, the test driver. By convention, in the context of a Haskell package, we define the test driver in test/Spec.hs. As we have already seen in previous sections of this manual, the hspec function can be used to do this. In general a spec of type Spec can be turned into an executable with:

-- file test/Spec.hs
module Main where

import Test.Hspec

main :: IO ()
main = hspec spec
