2024-12-28 21:55:25 +0100 <geekosaur> like, define your own constraint WouldAssert and have your Assert include that context in place of errMsg, then use IfCxt to check for it afterward?
2024-12-28 21:53:14 +0100 <geekosaur> but there's no reason you couldn't have it not import the standard Assert and write your own, it's a very simple closed type family as you can see from the link

2024-12-28 21:51:05 +0100 <geekosaur> `Assert` itself is just a type family
2024-12-28 21:50:55 +0100 <geekosaur> sadly I think that's also the harder one
2024-12-28 21:50:36 +0100 <geekosaur> actually I think the wizard mode trick is not to replace `Assert`, but `TypeError`
2024-12-28 21:50:05 +0100 <hellwolf> say, GHCWillAssert :: Constraint)
2024-12-28 21:49:29 +0100 <hellwolf> (for testing in runtime)
2024-12-28 21:49:08 +0100 <hellwolf> the magic constraint like HasCallStack, or Typeable which you can have some runtime information?
2024-12-28 21:49:06 +0100 <geekosaur> may have to play with the import list for the providing module (is it still in the same module as TypeError or am I misremembering that?)
2024-12-28 21:48:15 +0100 <geekosaur> um? just don't import that one, import a different one
2024-12-28 21:47:45 +0100 <geekosaur> the real question there is, what possible replacement would let that avoid your test suite itself failing to compile? it's kinda a `undefined`-like situation (type level bottom), isn't it?
2024-12-28 21:47:36 +0100 <hellwolf> you are right, the package is compiled with the Assert from base, testing package cannot change that

2024-12-28 21:45:51 +0100 <geekosaur> compiling that would use whatever `Assert` is in scope, no? it's not like it's a wired-in that requires `NoImplicitPrelude` or `RebindableSyntax`

2024-12-28 21:43:33 +0100 <hellwolf> https://paste.tomsmeding.com/0cTPAGam <-- this is the example. Unless I can swap out the "Assert" for a different implementation during testing, I don't think I can "test" it per se. Is that some sort of advanced module feature that I sometimes hear of? I guess if I really try, I could use cabal mixins to force that.
2024-12-28 21:41:17 +0100 <geekosaur> quick and dirty is to shell out to a compiler and see if the `waitForProcess` at the end throws an exception, but you then need to arrange for the test program to use your code (maybe `CPP` and a `#include`)

2024-12-28 21:40:24 +0100 <geekosaur> mm, without some kind of compilation testing framework I don't think this can be done generally

2024-12-28 21:38:37 +0100 <haskellbridge> <loonycyborg> maybe turn it into AST with some parser
2024-12-28 21:38:19 +0100 <hellwolf> unless there is some neat/smart trick that I am not aware of
2024-12-28 21:38:09 +0100 <hellwolf> I am not sure. Regular test framework doesn't seem to cut it
2024-12-28 21:37:50 +0100 <haskellbridge> <loonycyborg> in unit tests?
2024-12-28 21:37:30 +0100 <haskellbridge> <loonycyborg> testing in what way?

2024-12-28 21:35:51 +0100 <hellwolf> I asked this before.. I am gonna ask again... what's the best way of testing a piece of code *cannot* be compiled due to type error.
