This is a proper replacement for the previous shell-based placeholder hack.
Here is a summary:
- `clerk runtest` (normally run by ninja) is much extended:
* besides generating the test@out file, it checks individual tests for success
and can write a report file containing their status, and the positions for
their (expected/current) outputs (this uses `Marshal`)
* it now handles out-tests directly in addition to inline-tests, for which
it generates the separate output file ; they are included in the report
- ninja is now tasked with building all the test reports (which shouldn't fail);
for directories, individual reports are concatenated (as before).
Removing intermediate report rules, and out-test rules means that the ninja
file is much simplified.
- then, clerk takes back control, reads the final reports and formats them in a
user-friendly way. Printing the reports may imply running `diff` internally.
In particular, the commands to easily reproduce each test are provided.
Resetting the test results if required is also done directly by clerk, at this
stage.
A few switches are available to customise the output, but I am waiting for some
feedback before deciding what to make available from the CLI.
The `clerk report` command is available to manually explore test reports, but
normally the processing is done directly at the end of `clerk test` (i.e. ninja
will no longer call that command)
- Add a `-I` option that allows defined modules to be available from other
directories
- Add reporting of the number of successful / failed tests
- Locate the project root, and always run the commands from there
- suggestions.ml : improve details + algorithm implementation (see @Altgr reviews) + comments
- suggestions implementation : since we want to keep the same structure to display suggestion messages, Suggestion is no longer a formatted string but a string list. The goal is to have a similar formatted string for each suggestion, no matter what the error message is.
--> This involves changes to suggestions.mli, compiler/desugared/from_surface.ml (most important one) and compiler/surface/parser_driver.ml
