I found the test-framework package to be quite useful for this.

Using the defaultMain function you can easily define a small program
which will run all your tests (quickcheck, hunit or other). The only
problem I had with test-framework is that it prints the test results
in nice colours. It looks pretty in a console but unreadable in ghci.
Hackage seems to be down at the moment, but you can check out which
other packages use test-framework on my hackage plaything:

Or simply write a function:
between :: Ord a => a -> a -> a -> Bool
between min max x = x > min && x < max
filter (between (-0.5) 0.5) xs
Keep it simple, stupid?

Yes, I've found this useful as well. I'm surprised it's not possible
to turn off the colourisation... but `my-test --help` doesn't seem to
offer any option for it. Maybe that's a good thing to add? ;-)

liftM2 (&&) :: (Monad m) => m Bool -> m Bool -> m Bool
So for (liftM2 (&&) (< 0.5) (> -0.5)) to be well typed, we must have
(< 0.5) :: m Bool
for some Monad m (same for (> -0.5)).
Now (< 0.5) :: Fractional a => a -> Bool, hence m must be ((->) a) for some a
in the
Fractional class.
Reader r a is just (r -> a) wrapped in a newtype, so (r -> a) 'is' the reader
monad.
To use it, we must import Control.Monad for liftM2 and some module which brings
the
instance Monad ((->) r)
into scope. That could be Control.Monad.Instances or, appropriately,
Control.Monad.Reader.

Thanks. So I tried
upTo n p =
liftM2 (:) p (upTo (n-1) p)
which doesn't quite work because the recursion does not have a base case.
The following gets me closer:
upTo n p =
if n <= 0 then
return []
else
liftM2 (:) p (upTo (n-1) p)
> parse (upTo 3 digit) "" "123ab"
Right "123"
However:
> parse (upTo 4 digit) "" "123ab"
Left (line 1, column 4):
unexpected "a"
expecting digit
The semantics of (upTo n p) should be to parse at most n tokens, but if less
than n tokens are available that should still be a successful parse. And the
next token should be the first one upTo failed on.
I attempted to use the "try" parser in various locations but that doesn't
seem to help, or maybe I'm using it incorrectly.

This one had me puzzled too - so did a traced through the program below.
Please make sure your viewing window is at least this wide:
<---------------------------------------------------------------->
It was more helpful to think of this as using the ((->) r) instance of
Monad. It is defined in ./libraries/base/Control/Monad/Instances.hs in your
GHC source as:
>instance Monad ((->) r) where
> return = const
> f >>= k = \ r -> k (f r) r
And const just returns its first argument like:
const 1 3 => 1
const "hello" "world" => "hello"
And liftM2 is defined in ./libraries/base/Control/Monad.hs as :
>liftM2 :: (Monad m) => (a1 -> a2 -> r) -> m a1 -> m a2 -> m r
>liftM2 f m1 m2 = do { x1 <- m1; x2 <- m2; return (f x1 x2) }
So a trace of the program goes like this:
(liftM2 (&&) (< 0.5) (> -0.5))
=> do {x1 <- (< 0.5);
x2 <- (> -0.5);
return ((&&) x1 x2)}
=> (< 0.5) >>= \x1
(> -0.5) >>= \x2
return ((&&) x1 x2)
=> \r ->(\x1 ->
(> -0.5) >>= \x2
return ((&&) x1 x2))
((< 0.5) r)
r
=> \r -> (return (> -0.5) >>= \x2
return ((&&) ((< 0.5) r) x2))
r
=> \r -> (\r' -> (\x2 ->
return ((&&) (const (< 0.5) r) x2))
((> -0.5) r')
r')
r
=> \r -> (\r' -> (return ((&&) ((< 0.5) r) ((> -0.5) r'))) r') r
=> \r -> (\r' -> (const ((&&) ((< 0.5) r) ((> -0.5) r'))) r') r
=> \r -> (\r' -> ((&&) ((< 0.5) r) ((> -0.5) r'))) r
=> \r -> (\r' -> ((r < 0.5) && (r' > -0.5))) r
hope this helps,
