Synopsis

# Combinators

lift :: MonadGen m => Gen a -> m a Source #

Lift a vanilla Gen in to a MonadGen.

## Shrinking

shrink :: MonadGen m => (a -> [a]) -> m a -> m a Source #

Apply a shrinking function to a generator.

This will give the generator additional shrinking options, while keeping the existing shrinks intact.

prune :: MonadGen m => m a -> m a Source #

Throw away a generator's shrink tree.

## Size

small :: MonadGen m => m a -> m a Source #

Make a generator smaller by scaling its size parameter.

scale :: MonadGen m => (Size -> Size) -> m a -> m a Source #

Adjust the size parameter by transforming it with the given function.

resize :: MonadGen m => Size -> m a -> m a Source #

Override the size parameter. Returns a generator which uses the given size instead of the runtime-size parameter.

sized :: MonadGen m => (Size -> m a) -> m a Source #

Construct a generator that depends on the size parameter.

## Integral

integral :: (MonadGen m, Integral a) => Range a -> m a Source #

Generates a random integral number in the given [inclusive,inclusive] range.

When the generator tries to shrink, it will shrink towards the origin of the specified Range.

For example, the following generator will produce a number between 1970 and 2100, but will shrink towards 2000:

integral (Range.constantFrom 2000 1970 2100) :: Gen Int

## Choice

constant :: MonadGen m => a -> m a Source #

Trivial generator that always produces the same element.

This is another name for pure / return.

element :: MonadGen m => [a] -> m a Source #

Randomly selects one of the elements in the list.

This generator shrinks towards the first element in the list.

The input list must be non-empty.

choice :: MonadGen m => [m a] -> m a Source #

Randomly selects one of the generators in the list.

This generator shrinks towards the first generator in the list.

The input list must be non-empty.

frequency :: MonadGen m => [(Int, m a)] -> m a Source #

Uses a weighted distribution to randomly select one of the generators in the list.

This generator shrinks towards the first generator in the list.

The input list must be non-empty.

recursive :: MonadGen m => ([m a] -> m a) -> [m a] -> [m a] -> m a Source #

Modifies combinators which choose from a list of generators, like choice or frequency, so that they can be used in recursive scenarios.

This combinator modifies its target to select one of the generators in either the non-recursive or the recursive list. When a selection is made from the recursive list, the Size is halved. When the Size gets to one or less, selections are no longer made from the recursive list, this ensures termination.

A good example of where this might be useful is abstract syntax trees:

data Expr =
Var String
| Lam String Expr
| App Expr Expr

-- Assuming we have a name generator
genName :: MonadGen m => m String

-- We can write a generator for expressions
genExpr :: MonadGen m => m Expr
genExpr =
Gen.recursive Gen.choice [
-- non-recursive generators
Var <$> genName ] [ -- recursive generators Gen.subtermM genExpr (x -> Lam <$> genName <*> pure x)
, Gen.subterm2 genExpr genExpr App
]


If we wrote the above example using only choice, it is likely that it would fail to terminate. This is because for every call to genExpr, there is a 2 in 3 chance that we will recurse again.

## Conditional

filter :: MonadGen m => (a -> Bool) -> m a -> m a Source #

Generates a value that satisfies a predicate.

This is essentially:

filter p gen = mfilter p gen <|> filter p gen


It differs from the above in that we keep some state to avoid looping forever. If we trigger these limits then the whole generator is discarded.

just :: MonadGen m => m (Maybe a) -> m a Source #

Runs a Maybe generator until it produces a Just.

This is implemented using filter and has the same caveats.

## Collections

maybe :: MonadGen m => m a -> m (Maybe a) Source #

Generates a Nothing some of the time.

list :: MonadGen m => Range Int -> m a -> m [a] Source #

Generates a list using a Range to determine the length.

seq :: MonadGen m => Range Int -> m a -> m (Seq a) Source #

Generates a seq using a Range to determine the length.

nonEmpty :: MonadGen m => Range Int -> m a -> m (NonEmpty a) Source #

Generates a non-empty list using a Range to determine the length.

set :: (MonadGen m, Ord a) => Range Int -> m a -> m (Set a) Source #

Generates a set using a Range to determine the length.

This may fail to generate anything if the element generator cannot produce a large enough number of unique items to satify the required set size.

map :: (MonadGen m, Ord k) => Range Int -> m (k, v) -> m (Map k v) Source #

Generates a map using a Range to determine the length.

This may fail to generate anything if the keys produced by the generator do not account for a large enough number of unique items to satify the required map size.

## Subterms

freeze :: MonadGen m => m a -> m (a, m a) Source #

Freeze the size and seed used by a generator, so we can inspect the value which it will produce.

This is used for implementing list and subtermMVec. It allows us to shrink the list itself before trying to shrink the values inside the list.

subterm :: MonadGen m => m a -> (a -> a) -> m a Source #

Constructs a generator from a sub-term generator.

Shrinks to the sub-term if possible.

subtermM :: MonadGen m => m a -> (a -> m a) -> m a Source #

Constructs a generator from a sub-term generator.

Shrinks to the sub-term if possible.

subterm2 :: MonadGen m => m a -> m a -> (a -> a -> a) -> m a Source #

Constructs a generator from two sub-term generators.

Shrinks to one of the sub-terms if possible.

subtermM2 :: MonadGen m => m a -> m a -> (a -> a -> m a) -> m a Source #

Constructs a generator from two sub-term generators.

Shrinks to one of the sub-terms if possible.

subterm3 :: MonadGen m => m a -> m a -> m a -> (a -> a -> a -> a) -> m a Source #

Constructs a generator from three sub-term generators.

Shrinks to one of the sub-terms if possible.

subtermM3 :: MonadGen m => m a -> m a -> m a -> (a -> a -> a -> m a) -> m a Source #

Constructs a generator from three sub-term generators.

Shrinks to one of the sub-terms if possible.

## Combinations & Permutations

subsequence :: MonadGen m => [a] -> m [a] Source #

Generates a random subsequence of a list.

shuffle :: MonadGen m => [a] -> m [a] Source #

Generates a random permutation of a list.

This shrinks towards the order of the list being identical to the input list.

## Abstract State Machine

sequential :: (MonadGen n, MonadTest m) => Range Int -> (forall v. state v) -> [Command n m state] -> n (Sequential m state) Source #

Generates a sequence of actions from an initial model state and set of commands.

parallel :: (MonadGen n, MonadTest m) => Range Int -> Range Int -> (forall v. state v) -> [Command n m state] -> n (Parallel m state) Source #

Given the initial model state and set of commands, generates prefix actions to be run sequentially, followed by two branches to be run in parallel.

# Sampling Generators

sample :: MonadIO m => Gen a -> m a Source #

Generate a sample from a generator.

print :: (MonadIO m, Show a) => Gen a -> m () Source #

Run a generator with a random seed and print the outcome, and the first level of shrinks.

Gen.print (Gen.enum 'a' 'f')

=== Outcome ===
'd'
=== Shrinks ===
'a'
'b'
'c'

printTree :: (MonadIO m, Show a) => Gen a -> m () Source #

Run a generator with a random seed and print the resulting shrink tree.

Gen.printTree (Gen.enum 'a' 'f')

'd'
├╼'a'
├╼'b'
│  └╼'a'
└╼'c'
├╼'a'
└╼'b'
└╼'a'

This may not terminate when the tree is very large.

printWith :: (MonadIO m, Show a) => Size -> Seed -> Gen a -> m () Source #

Print the value produced by a generator, and the first level of shrinks, for the given size and seed.

Use print to generate a value from a random seed.

printTreeWith :: (MonadIO m, Show a) => Size -> Seed -> Gen a -> m () Source #

Print the shrink tree produced by a generator, for the given size and seed.

Use printTree to generate a value from a random seed.
