1594	Better QuickCheck/HUnit integration	igloo		"Daniel Burrows <dburrows@debian.org> in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=355215
requests:

Quickcheck and HUnit are both great tools for testing software, but it
seems to be rather difficult to make them work together.  In particular,
since the signature of all the quickCheck interface functions is some
variant on
{{{
Testable a => a -> IO ()
}}}
the only way to find out whether a test succeeded or failed is to read
the terminal output.  It would be ideal if !QuickCheck could generate HUnit
assertion failures when a test failed (maybe by expanding the Config
structure with ""failure hooks""), but even just changing its signature
to either
{{{
Testable a => a -> IO Bool
}}}
returning True for success, or (slightly more ambitiously)
{{{
Testable a => a -> IO (Maybe String)
}}}
returning Nothing for success and an error message otherwise would be
enough to get basic integration working."	feature request	closed	normal	Not GHC	libraries (other)	6.6.1	invalid		shelarcy@…	Unknown/Multiple	Unknown/Multiple	None/Unknown	Unknown
