    goldenTest

  3. -> testName

    test name

  4. -> FilePath

    path to "golden file"

  5. -> IO a

    result value

  6. -> testTree
#

Make a golden tests.

ediffGolden is testing framework agnostic, thus the type looks intimidating.

An example using tasty-golden, goldenTest is imported from Test.Tasty.Golden.Advanced

exTest :: TestTree
exTest = ediffGolden goldenTest "golden test" "fixtures/ex.expr" $
   action constructing actual value

The ediffGolden will read an Expr from provided path to golden file, and compare it with a toExpr of a result. If values differ, the (compact) diff of two will be printed.

See https://github.com/phadej/tree-diff/blob/master/tests/Tests.hs for a proper example.
