Duncan and I made the decision to turn off the detailed type in the current release because it's not totally ready. You should get a warning to that effect when you run 'cabal configure --enable-tests' with a detailed-type test. Your tests are not actually passing; they're not even running, but Cabal is failing to produce a useful error message. This is at the top of my to-do list (though I realize that may be little consolation for your wasted time now). Short version: you've done nothing wrong. (Mea culpa.) This should be fixed soon. -- Thomas Tuegel _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
