- Testing all properties in a module.
- Testing polymorphic properties.

Description

Experimental features using Template Haskell. You need to have a `{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}` pragma in your module for any of these to work.

Synopsis

- quickCheckAll :: Q Exp
- verboseCheckAll :: Q Exp
- forAllProperties :: Q Exp
- polyQuickCheck :: Name -> ExpQ
- polyVerboseCheck :: Name -> ExpQ
- mono :: Name -> ExpQ

## Testing all properties in a module.

quickCheckAll :: Q Exp Source

Test all properties in the current module. The name of the property must begin with `prop_`. Polymorphic properties will be defaulted to `Integer`. Returns `True` if all tests succeeded, `False` otherwise.

Using `quickCheckAll` interactively doesn't work. Instead, add a definition to your module along the lines of

     runTests = $quickCheckAll

and then execute `runTests`.

verboseCheckAll :: Q Exp Source

Test all properties in the current module. This is just a convenience function that combines `quickCheckAll` and `verbose`.

forAllProperties :: Q Exp Source

Test all properties in the current module, using a custom `quickCheck` function. The same caveats as with `quickCheckAll` apply.

`$`forAllProperties`` has type `(`Property` -> `IO` `Result`) -> `IO` `Bool``. An example invocation is `$`forAllProperties` `quickCheckResult``, which does the same thing as `$`quickCheckAll``.

## Testing polymorphic properties.

polyQuickCheck :: Name -> ExpQ Source

Test a polymorphic property, defaulting all type variables to `Integer`.

Invoke as `$(`polyQuickCheck` 'prop)`, where `prop` is a property. Note that just evaluating ``quickCheck` prop` in GHCi will seem to work, but will silently default all type variables to `()`!

polyVerboseCheck :: Name -> ExpQ Source

Test a polymorphic property, defaulting all type variables to `Integer`. This is just a convenience function that combines `polyQuickCheck` and `verbose`.

mono :: Name -> ExpQ Source

Monomorphise an arbitrary name by defaulting all type variables to `Integer`.

For example, if `f` has type ``Ord` a => [a] -> [a]` then `$(`mono` 'f)` has type `[`Integer`] -> [`Integer`]`.
