Version 2.3

• Accepting tests is no longer done by a separate ingredient; instead it is now an option that affects tests themselves.

  • --accept used to run only golden tests; now all tests are run, but only golden tests are affected by this option
  • when accepting, all the usual options apply (such as -j)
  • when accepting, the interace is the same as when running
  • defaultMain and acceptingTests are kept for compatibility, but do not do anything and are obsolete

• When a golden test file does not exist, it is created automatically, even when --accept is not specified. You'll see a message like

    UnboxedTuples:                 OK (0.04s)
      Golden file did not exist; created
  

• No longer use lazy IO

  • ValueGetter type is gone (replaced by IO)
  • Because of that, the type of the primitive goldenTest is changed
  • vgReadFile function is gone (replaced by Data.ByteString.readFile)
