DocTest

What is DocTest

DocTest is a small program, that checks examples in Haskell comments. It is modeled after doctest for Python.

Usage

Bellow is a small Haskell module with DocTest examples:

module Fib where

-- Examples:
--
-- > fib 10
-- 55

-- > fib 5
-- 5

fib 0 = 0
fib 1 = 1
fib n = fib (n - 1) + fib (n - 2)

DocTest checks if the implementation of fib satisfies the given examples:

$ doctest Fib.hs

Lines starting with -- > denote expressions. All comment lines following an expression denote the result of that expression, where result is defined by what a REPL prints to standard output when evaluating that expression.
