- Update QuickCheck to version 2.12.6.1.
QuickCheck 2.12.6 (released 2018-10-02)
* Make arbitrarySizedBoundedIntegral handle huge sizes correctly.
* Add changelog for QuickCheck 2.12.5 :)
QuickCheck 2.12.5 (released 2018-09-30)
* Export isSuccess from Test.QuickCheck.
* Export CoArbitrary even when generics are disabled (bugfix).
* Fix bug in shrinkDecimal.
* Include Test.QuickCheck.Gen in exposed modules for Haddock.
QuickCheck 2.12.3, 2.12.4 (released 2018-09-12)
* Shrinking for Float and Decimal now works by reducing the number
of digits in the number. The new function shrinkDecimal
implements this shrinking behaviour.
* Shrinking for Rational now tries to make the numerator and
denominator of the number smaller. Previously it tried to reduce
the magnitude of the number.
QuickCheck 2.12.2 (released 2018-09-10)
* Fix infinite shrinking loop for fractional types.
* Add SortedList modifier.
QuickCheck 2.12.1 (released 2018-09-06)
* Fix bug in 'classify'.
QuickCheck 2.12 (released 2018-09-03)
* Silently breaking changes!
- The Arbitrary instance for Word now generates only small
values, the same as Int
- cover no longer causes a property failure if coverage is
insufficient. It just prints a warning. (But see next item!)
* Overhaul of label/cover family of combinators:
- New property combinator checkCoverage, which checks coverage
requirements in a statistically sound way, and *does* fail if
they are not met.
- Order of arguments to cover swapped, to make it easier to
switch between classify and cover
- New combinators tabulate and coverTable, for reporting test
case distribution more flexibly than label.
- When label is called multiple times in a property, each call
produces a separate table of frequencies.
* New functions:
- (=/=): like (/=), but prints a counterexample
(thanks to tom-bop)
- forAllShow/forAllShrinkShow: quantification using an
explicit show function (thanks to Stevan Andjelkovic)
- forAllBlind/forAllShrinkBlind: quantification without
printing anything
- verboseShrinking: see how a counterexample is shrunk
- labelledExamples: given a property which uses label,
generate an example test case for each label
- idempotentIOProperty: a variant of ioProperty which shrinks
better but only works for idempotent I/O actions
* Other improvements:
- MonadFix Gen instance (thanks to Jon Fowler)
- Rational numbers shrink using continued fractions
(thanks to Justus Sagemüller)
- Function instances for Const, Identity, and the types in
Data.Monoid; instance Functor Fun (thanks to Erik Schnetter
and Xia Li-yao)
- More of Test.QuickCheck.Function is exported from
Test.QuickCheck
- Semantics of .||. changed to improve short-circuiting:
if the left argument's precondition is false, the right
argument is not evaluated and the whole disjunction is
considered to have a false precondition
- Bug fix: suchThatMaybe always increased size to at least 1
* Miscellaneous API changes:
- Result type has changed a bit:
- InsufficientCovered constructor is gone
- Type of labels has changed
- New fields classes, tables
* Wed Jul 18 2018 psimons@suse.com
- Cosmetic: replace tabs with blanks, strip trailing white space,
and update copyright headers with spec-cleaner.
* Mon May 14 2018 psimons@suse.com
- Update QuickCheck to version 2.11.3.
* New features:
- InfiniteList modifier generates infinite lists and shows
only the relevant part.
- applyArbitrary2/3/4 for applying a function to random
arguments.
- Template Haskell function allProperties returns all
properties in a module.
* Applicative Gen instances do less splitting.
* Property now has a Typeable instance.
* (===) now prints correct output when the property is true.
* Test.QuickCheck now exports Fun constructor.
* verboseCheck output is now slightly less confusing.
* Arbitrary instances for Foreign.C.Types are available in more
GHC versions.
* Fixed a bug where withMaxSuccess didn't adjust the allowed
number of discarded tests.
* Remove quadratic behaviour in terminal output.
* New combinators:
- withMaxSuccess sets the maximum number of test cases for a property.
- shrinkMap/shrinkMapBy are helpers for defining shrink functions.
- total checks that a value is non-crashing.
- suchThatMap is similar to 'suchThat'
but takes a Maybe-returning function instead of a predicate.
- getSize returns the current test case size.
* Random strings and characters now include Unicode characters by
default. To generate only ASCII characters, use the new
ASCIIString modifier or arbitraryASCIIChar generator.
The following modifiers and generators also control the
kind of strings generated: UnicodeString, PrintableString,
arbitraryUnicodeChar, arbitraryPrintableChar.
* QuickCheck no longer catches asynchronous exceptions, which
means that pressing ctrl-C will now cancel testing without
printing a counterexample. If you are debugging an infinite loop,
please use the 'within' combinator or 'verboseCheck' instead.
('within' is better as it allows the counterexample to be
shrunk.)
* Much of Test.QuickCheck.Function (showable random functions)
is now exported from Test.QuickCheck.
- Test.QuickCheck.Function now defines functions and
pattern synonyms which simplify testing functions of
more than one argument: apply2, apply3, Fn2, Fn3.
* New typeclasses Arbitrary1 and Arbitrary2 which lift Arbitrary
to unary/binary type constructors, like in Data.Functor.Classes.
* Some Arbitrary instances have been removed: NonEmpty, Natural.
This is because they resulted in a lot of extra dependencies.
You can now find them in the quickcheck-instances package.
Alternatively, use the NonEmptyList and NonNegative modifiers.
* New Arbitrary instances for the following types: Proxy, ExitCode,
WrappedMonad, WrappedArrow, QCGen, and the types in
Foreign.C.Types and Data.Functor.{Product,Compose}.
Also a Function instance for Word.
* The functions in Test.QuickCheck.Monadic which take an argument
of type PropertyM m a now expect that 'a' to be Testable, and test it.
To reduce breakage from this, () is now an instance of Testable which
always succeeds.
- PropertyM now has a MonadFail instance on recent GHCs.
Furthermore, the constraints on some instances were loosened.
* Miscellaneous API changes:
- Result now returns the counterexample as a list of strings.
See the "failingTestCase" field.
- Args now has a `maxShrinks` argument, the maximum number of
shrinks to try before giving up shrinking.
- The 'labels' field of Result now encodes frequencies as Doubles
rather than Ints.
* Bugfixes:
- 'Test.QuickCheck.Function', 'Test.QuickCheck.Poly', and
'Test.QuickCheck.Monadic' are now Safe modules.
- Result.theException and Result.reason were taken from
the pre-shrunk counterexample, not the shrunk one.
- The Testable Property instance improperly used 'again'.
- Gen.>>= is strict in the result of split, fixing a space leak.
- within now gives a better error message on timeout
* Some more examples and links have been added to the documentation.
