Module documentation for 0.16.0.1

lsp-test

lsp-test is a functional testing framework for Language Server Protocol servers.

It is part of the lsp family of packages, along with lsp and lsp-types

import Language.LSP.Test
main = runSession "hie" fullCaps "proj/dir" $ do
  doc <- openDoc "Foo.hs" "haskell"
  skipMany anyNotification
  symbols <- getDocumentSymbols doc

Examples

Unit tests with HSpec

describe "diagnostics" $
  it "report errors" $ runSession "hie" fullCaps "test/data" $ do
    openDoc "Error.hs" "haskell"
    [diag] <- waitForDiagnosticsSource "ghcmod"
    liftIO $ do
      diag ^. severity `shouldBe` Just DsError
      diag ^. source `shouldBe` Just "ghcmod"

Replaying captured session

replaySession "hie" "test/data/renamePass"

Parsing with combinators

skipManyTill loggingNotification publishDiagnosticsNotification
count 4 (message :: Session ApplyWorkspaceEditRequest)
anyRequest <|> anyResponse

Try out the example tests in the example directory with cabal test. For more examples see this introductory blog post.

Whilst writing your tests you may want to debug them to see what’s going wrong. You can set the logMessages and logStdErr options in SessionConfig to see what the server is up to. There are also corresponding environment variables so you can turn them on from the command line:

LSP_TEST_LOG_MESSAGES=1 LSP_TEST_LOG_STDERR=1 cabal test

Developing

The tests for lsp-test use a dummy server found in test/dummy-server/. Run the tests with cabal test or stack test. Tip: If you want to filter the tests, use cabal run test:tests -- -m "foo"

Troubleshooting

Seeing funny stuff when running lsp-test via stack? If your server is built upon Haskell tooling, keep in mind that stack sets some environment variables related to GHC, and you may want to unset them.

Changes

Revision history for lsp-test

0.16.0.1

  • Support newer versions of dependencies.

0.16.0.0

  • The client configuration is now mandatory and is an Object rather than a Value.
  • lsp-test now responds to workspace/configuration requests.
  • lsp-test does not send a workspace/didChangeConfiguration request on startup.
  • New functions for modifying the client configuration and notifying the server.
  • ignoreLogNotifications is now on by default. Experience shows the norm is to ignore these and it is simpler to turn this on only when they are required.
  • ignoreConfigurationRequests option to ignore workspace/configuration requests, also on by default.
  • New functions setIgnoringLogNotifications and setIgnoringConfigurationRequests to change whether such messages are ignored during a Session without having to change the SessionConfig.
