Advanced Usage
==============
Déjà Fu tries to have a sensible set of defaults, but there are some
times when the defaults are not suitable. There are a lot of knobs
provided to tweak how things work.
Execution settings
------------------
The `autocheckWithSettings`, `dejafuWithSettings`, and `dejafusWithSettings` let
you provide a `Settings` value, which controls some of Déjà Fu's behaviour:
```haskell
dejafuWithSettings mySettings "Assert the thing holds" myPredicate myAction
```
The available settings are:
- **"Way"**, how to explore the behaviours of the program under test.
- **Length bound**, a cut-off point to terminate an execution even if it's not
done yet.
- **Memory model**, which affects how non-synchronised operations, such as
`readIORef` and `writeIORef` behave.
- **Discarding**, which allows throwing away uninteresting results, rather than
keeping them around in memory.
- **Early exit**, which allows exiting as soon as a result matching a predicate
is found.
- **Representative traces**, keeping only one execution trace for each distinct
result.
- **Trace simplification**, rewriting execution traces into a simpler form
(particularly effective with the random testing).
- **Safe IO**, pruning needless schedules when your IO is only used to manage
thread-local state.
See the `Test.DejaFu.Settings` module for more information.
Performance tuning
------------------
- Are you happy to trade space for time?
Consider computing the results once and running multiple predicates over the
output: this is what `dejafus` / `testDejafus` / etc does.
- Can you sacrifice completeness?
Consider using the random testing functionality. See the `*WithSettings`
functions.
- Would strictness help?
Consider using the strict functions in `Test.DejaFu.SCT` (the ones ending
with a `'`).
- Do you just want the set of results, and don't care about traces?
Consider using `Test.DejaFu.SCT.resultsSet`.
- Do you know something about the sort of results you care about?
Consider discarding results you *don't* care about. See the `*WithSettings`
functions in `Test.DejaFu`, `Test.DejaFu.SCT`, and
`Test.{HUnit,Tasty}.DejaFu`.
For example, let's say you want to know if your test case deadlocks, but you
don't care about the execution trace, and you are going to sacrifice
completeness because your possible state-space is huge. You could do it like
this:
```haskell
dejafuWithSettings
( set ldiscard
-- "efa" == "either failure a", discard everything but deadlocks
(Just $ \efa -> Just (if either isDeadlock (const False) efa then DiscardTrace else DiscardResultAndTrace))
. set lway
-- try 10000 executions with random scheduling
(randomly (mkStdGen 42) 10000)
$ defaultSettings
)
-- the name of the test
"Never Deadlocks"
-- the predicate to check
deadlocksNever
-- your test case
testCase
```

Contributing
============
Thanks for caring about Déjà Fu!
Ways to contribute
------------------
Déjà Fu is a project under active development, there's always something to do.
Here's a list of ideas to get you started:
- Submit bug reports.
- Submit feature requests.
- Got a particularly slow test case which you think should be faster? Open an
issue for that too.
- Blog about how and why you use Déjà Fu.
- Check if any bugs which have been open for a while are still bugs.
If you want to contribute code, you could:
- Tackle one of the issues tagged ["good first issue"][good-first-issue].
- Tackle a bigger issue, perhaps one of the [roadmap issues][roadmap]!
- Run code coverage and try to fix a gap in the tests.
- Profile the test suite and try to improve a slow function.
[Roadmap issues][roadmap] are priority issues (in my opinion), so help with
those is especially appreciated.
If you have a support question, you can talk to me on IRC (#haskell on freenode)
or send an email (mike@barrucadu.co.uk) rather than opening an issue. But maybe
your question is a bug report about poor documentation in disguise!
[good-first-issue]: https://github.com/barrucadu/dejafu/labels/good%20first%20issue
[roadmap]: https://github.com/barrucadu/dejafu/labels/roadmap
Making the change
-----------------
1. Talk to me!
I don't bite, and chances are I can quickly tell you where you should start.
It's better to ask what seems like a stupid question than to waste a lot of
time on the wrong approach.
2. Make the change.
Figure out what needs to be changed, how to change it, and do it. If you're
fixing a bug, make sure to add a minimal reproduction to Cases.Regressions in
dejafu-tests.
3. Document the change.
All top-level definitions should have a [Haddock][] comment explaining what
it does. If you've added or changed a top-level function, consider
commenting its arguments too.
If you've added a top-level definition, or changed one in a
backwards-incompatible way, add an `@since unreleased` Haddock comment to it.
This is to help prevent me from missing things when I update the changelog
ahead of a release.
4. Submit a PR.
GitHub Actions will run some checks, which might prompt further action. You
should expect a response from me in a day or two.
Don't worry about your PR being perfect the first time. We'll work through any
issues together, to ensure that Déjà Fu gets the best code it can.
[Haddock]: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/haddock
Coding style
------------
There isn't really a prescribed style. It's not quite the wild west though;
keep these three rules in mind:
1. Be consistent.
2. Run [stylish-haskell][] to format import lists.
3. Use [hlint][] and [weeder][] and fix lints unless you
have a good reason not to.
GitHub Actions runs stylish-haskell and hlint on all PRs.
[stylish-haskell]: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/stylish-haskell
[hlint]: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hlint
[weeder]: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/weeder
Coverage
--------
[hpc][] can generate a coverage report from the execution of dejafu-tests:
```text
$ stack build --coverage
$ stack exec dejafu-tests
$ stack hpc report --all dejafu-tests.tix
```
This will print some stats and generate an HTML coverage report:
```text
Generating combined report
52% expressions used (4052/7693)
48% boolean coverage (63/129)
43% guards (46/106), 31 always True, 9 always False, 20 unevaluated
68% 'if' conditions (11/16), 2 always True, 3 unevaluated
85% qualifiers (6/7), 1 unevaluated
61% alternatives used (392/635)
80% local declarations used (210/261)
26% top-level declarations used (280/1063)
The combined report is available at /home/barrucadu/projects/dejafu/.stack-work/install/x86_64-linux/nightly-2016-06-20/8.0.1/hpc/combined/custom/hpc_index.html
```
The highlighted code in the HTML report emphasises branch coverage:
- Red means a branch was evaluated as always false.
- Green means a branch was evaluated as always true.
- Yellow means an expression was never evaluated.
See also the [stack coverage documentation][cov].
[hpc]: https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_program_coverage
[cov]: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/latest/coverage/
Performance
-----------
GHC can generate performance statistics from the execution of dejafu-tests:
```text
$ stack build --profile
$ stack exec -- dejafu-tests +RTS -p
$ less dejafu-tests.prof
```
This prints a detailed breakdown of where memory and time are being spent:
```text
Mon Mar 20 19:26 2017 Time and Allocation Profiling Report (Final)
dejafu-tests +RTS -p -RTS
total time = 105.94 secs (105938 ticks @ 1000 us, 1 processor)
total alloc = 46,641,766,952 bytes (excludes profiling overheads)
COST CENTRE MODULE %time %alloc
findBacktrackSteps.doBacktrack.idxs' Test.DejaFu.SCT.Internal 21.9 12.0
== Test.DejaFu.Common 12.4 0.0
yieldCount.go Test.DejaFu.SCT 12.1 0.0
dependent' Test.DejaFu.SCT 5.1 0.0
runThreads.go Test.DejaFu.Conc.Internal 2.7 4.1
[...]
```
Be careful, however! Compiling with profiling can significantly affect the
behaviour of a program! Use profiling to get an idea of where the hot spots
are, but make sure to confirm with a non-profiled build that things are actually
getting faster.
If you compile with `-rtsopts` you can get some basic stats from a non-profiled
build:
```text
$ stack exec -- dejafu-tests +RTS -s

86,659,658,504 bytes allocated in the heap
13,057,037,448 bytes copied during GC

Total time 134.388s (137.640s elapsed)
Alloc rate 878,145,635 bytes per MUT second
Productivity 73.4% of total user, 73.8% of total elapsed
```
Heap profiling
--------------
GHC can tell you where the memory is going:
```text
$ stack build --profile
$ stack exec -- dejafu-tests +RTS -hc
$ hp2ps -c dejafu-tests.hp
```
This will produce a graph of memory usage over time, as a postscript file,
broken down by cost-centre which produced the data. There are a few different
views:
- `-hm` breaks down the graph by module
- `-hd` breaks down the graph by closure description
- `-hy` breaks down the graph by type
I typically find `-hd` and `-hy` most useful. If you're feeling particularly
brave, you can try `-hr`, which is intended to help track down memory leaks
caused by unevaluated thunks.

Release Process
===============
```admonish warning
If it's early in the year, make sure you put down the right year in the CHANGELOG!
```
1. Figure out what the next version number is. See the PVP_ page if unsure.
2. Update version numbers in the relevant cabal files:
* Update the `version` field
* Update the `tag` in the `source-repository` block
3. Fill in all `@since unreleased` Haddock comments with the relevant version
number.
4. Update version numbers in the tables in the README page.
5. Ensure the relevant CHANGELOG files have all the entries they should.
6. Add the release information to the relevant CHANGELOG files:
* Change the `unreleased` title to the version number
* Add the current date
* Add the git tag name
* Add the Hackage URL
* Add the contributors list
7. Commit.
8. Push to GitHub and wait for GitHub Actions to confirm everything is
OK. If it's not OK, fix what is broken before continuing.
9. Merge the PR.
10. Tag the merge commit. Tags are in the form `<package>-<version>`, and the
message is the changelog entry.
11. Push tags to GitHub.
When the merge commit successfully builds on `master` the updated packages will
be pushed to Hackage by Concourse.
Pro tips
--------
* If a release would have a combination of breaking and non-breaking changes, if
possible make two releases: the non-breaking ones first, and then a major
release with the breaking ones.
This makes it possible for users who don't want the breaking changes to still
benefit from the non-breaking improvements.
* Before uploading to Hackage, check you have no changes to the files (for
example, temporarily changing the GHC options, or adding `trace` calls, for
debugging reasons).
`stack upload` will upload the files on the disk, not the files in version
control, so your unwanted changes will be published!

| 8.2 | LTS 10.0 | 4.10.1.0 |
In practice, we may *compile with* older versions of GHC, but keeping them
working is not a priority.
Adding new GHC releases
-----------------------
When a new version of GHC is released, we need to make some changes for
everything to go smoothly. In general, these changes should only cause a
**patch level version bump**.
1. Bump the upper bound of [base][] and set up any needed conditional
compilation
2. Add the GHC and base versions to the table.
3. Remove any unsupported versions from the table.
4. Make a patch release.
A new GHC release won't get a Stackage snapshot for little while. When it
does:
1. Add the snapshot to the GitHub Actions configuration.
2. Update the resolver in the stack.yaml.
3. Put the snapshot in the table.
Dropping old GHC releases
-------------------------
When we want to drop an unsupported version of GHC, we need to bump the version
bound on [base][] to preclude it. This is a backwards-incompatible change which
causes a **major version bump**.
1. Remove the dropped GHC version from the GitHub Actions configuration.
2. Bump the lower bound of [base][].
3. Look through the other dependencies. Some may not work with our new lower
bound on [base][], so we should bump those too.
4. Remove any now-irrelevant conditional compilation (mostly CPP, but there may
also be some cabal file bits).
5. Make whatever change required the bump.
6. Make a major release.
GHC versions shouldn't be dropped just because we can, but here are some good
reasons to do it:
- We want to bump the lower bounds of a dependency to a version which doesn't
support that GHC.
- We want to add a new dependency which doesn't support that GHC.
- The conditional compilation needed to keep that GHC working is getting
confusing.

0.x to 1.x
==========
[dejafu-1.0.0.0][] is a super-major release which breaks compatibility with
[dejafu-0.x][] quite significantly, but brings with it support for bound
threads, and significantly improves memory usage in the general case.
Highlights reel:
- Most predicates now only need to keep around the failures, rather than all
results.
- Support for bound threads (with [concurrency-1.3.0.0][]).
- The `ST` / `IO` interface duplication is gone, everything is now monadic.
- Function parameter order is closer to other testing libraries.
- Much improved API documentation.
See the changelogs for the full details.
`ST` and `IO` functions
-----------------------
There is only one set of functions now. Testing bound threads requires being
able to fork actual threads, so testing with `ST` is no longer possible. The
`ConcST` type is gone, there is only `ConcIO`.
For [dejafu][] change:
- `autocheckIO` to `autocheck`
- `dejafuIO` to `dejafu`
- `dejafusIO` to `dejafus`
- `autocheckWayIO` to `autocheckWay`
- `dejafuWayIO` to `dejafuWay`
- `dejafusWayIO` to `dejafusWay`
- `dejafuDiscardIO` to `dejafuDiscard`
- `runTestM` to `runTest`
- `runTestWayM` to `runTestWay`
If you relied on being able to get a pure result from the `ConcST` functions,
you can no longer do this.
For [hunit-dejafu][] and [tasty-dejafu][] change:
- `testAutoIO` to `testAuto`
- `testDejafuIO` to `testDejafu`
- `testDejafusIO` to `testDejafus`
- `testAutoWayIO` to `testAutoWay`
- `testDejafuWayIO` to `testDejafuWay`
- `testDejafusWayIO` to `testDejafusWay`
- `testDejafuDiscardIO` to `testDejafuDiscard`
Function parameter order
------------------------
Like [HUnit][], the monadic action to test is now the last parameter of the
testing functions. This makes it convenient to write tests without needing to
define the action elsewhere.
For [dejafu][] change:
- `dejafu ma (s, p)` to `dejafu s p ma`
- `dejafus ma ps` to `dejafus ps ma`
- `dejafuWay way mem ma (s, p)` to `dejafuWay way mem s p ma`
- `dejafusWay way mem ma ps` to `dejafuWay way mem ps ma`
- `dejafuDiscard d way mem ma (s, p)` to `dejafuDiscard d way mem s p ma`
For [hunit-dejafu][] and [tasty-dejafu][] change:
- `testDejafu ma s p` to `testDejafu s p ma`
- `testDejafus ma ps` to `testDejafus ps ma`
- `testDejafuWay way mem ma s p` to `testDejafuWay way mem s p ma`
- `testDejafusWay way mem ma ps` to `testDejafusWay way mem ps ma`
- `testDejafuDiscard d way mem ma s p` to `testDejafuDiscard d way mem s p ma`
Predicates
----------
The `Predicate a` type is now an alias for `ProPredicate a a`, defined like so:
```haskell
data ProPredicate a b = ProPredicate
{ pdiscard :: Either Failure a -> Maybe Discard
-- ^ Selectively discard results before computing the result.
, peval :: [(Either Failure a, Trace)] -> Result b
-- ^ Compute the result with the un-discarded results.
}
```
If you use the predicate helper functions to construct a predicate, you do not
need to change anything (and should get a nice reduction in your resident memory
usage). If you supply a function directly, you can recover the old behaviour
like so:
```haskell
old :: ([(Either Failure a, Trace)] -> Result a) -> ProPredicate a a
old p = ProPredicate
{ pdiscard = const Nothing
, peval = p
}
```
The `alwaysTrue2` helper function is gone. If you use it, use `alwaysSameOn` or
`alwaysSameBy` instead.

1.x to 2.x
==========
[dejafu-2.0.0.0][] is a super-major release which breaks compatibility with
[dejafu-1.x][].
Highlights reel:
- Test cases are written in terms of a new `Program` type.
- The `Failure` type has been replaced with a `Condition` type (actually in
1.12).
- Random testing takes an optional length bound.
- Atomically-checked invariants over shared mutable state.
See the changelogs for the full details.
The `Program` type
------------------
The `ConcT` type is now an alias for `Program Basic`.
A `Program Basic` has all the instances `ConcT` did, defined using the `~`
instance trick, so this shouldn't be a breaking change:
```haskell
instance (pty ~ Basic) => MonadTrans (Program pty)
instance (pty ~ Basic) => MonadCatch (Program pty n)
instance (pty ~ Basic) => MonadThrow (Program pty n)
instance (pty ~ Basic) => MonadMask (Program pty n)
instance (pty ~ Basic, Monad n) => MonadConc (Program pty n)
instance (pty ~ Basic, MonadIO n) => MonadIO (Program pty n)
```
The `dontCheck` function has been removed in favour of `withSetup`:
```haskell
do x <- dontCheck setup
action x
-- becomes
withSetup setup action
```
The `subconcurrency` function has been removed in favour of
`withSetupAndTeardown`:
```haskell
do x <- setup
y <- subconcurrency (action x)
teardown x y
-- becomes
withSetupAndTeardown setup teardown action
```
The `dontCheck` and `subconcurrency` functions used to throw runtime errors if
nested. This is not possible with `withSetup` and `withSetupAndTeardown` due to
their types:
```haskell
withSetup
:: Program Basic n x
-- ^ Setup action
-> (x -> Program Basic n a)
-- ^ Main program
-> Program (WithSetup x) n a
withSetupAndTeardown
:: Program Basic n x
-- ^ Setup action
-> (x -> Either Condition y -> Program Basic n a)
-- ^ Teardown action
-> (x -> Program Basic n y)
-- ^ Main program
-> Program (WithSetupAndTeardown x y) n a
```
Previously, multiple calls to `subconcurrency` could be sequenced in the same
test case. This is not possible using `withSetupAndTeardown`. If you rely on
this behaviour, please [file an issue][].
The `Condition` type
--------------------
This is a change in [dejafu-1.12.0.0][dejafu-1.x], but the alias `Failure =
Condition` is removed in [dejafu-2.0.0.0][].
- The `STMDeadlock` and `Deadlock` constructors have been merged.
- Internal errors have been split into the `Error` type and are raised as
exceptions, instead of being returned as conditions.
The name "failure" has been a recurring source of confusion, because an
individual execution can "fail" without the predicate as a whole failing. My
hope is that the more neutral "condition" will prevent this confusion.
Deprecated functions
--------------------
All the deprecated special-purpose functions have been removed. Use more
general `*WithSettings` functions instead.

Refinement Testing
==================
Déjà Fu also supports a form of property-testing where you can check things
about the side-effects of stateful operations. For example, we can assert that
`readMVar` is equivalent to sequencing `takeMVar` and `putMVar` like so:
```haskell
prop_mvar_read_take_put =
sig readMVar `equivalentTo` sig (\v -> takeMVar v >>= putMVar v)
```
Given the signature function, `sig`, defined in the next section. If we check
this, our property fails!
```text
> check prop_mvar_read_take_put
*** Failure: (seed Just 0)
left: [(Nothing,Just 0)]
right: [(Nothing,Just 0),(Just Deadlock,Just 0)]
False
```
This is because `readMVar` is atomic, whereas sequencing `takeMVar` with
`putMVar` is not, and so another thread can interfere with the `MVar` in the
middle. The `check` and `equivalentTo` functions come from
`Test.DejaFu.Refinement` (also re-exported from `Test.DejaFu`).
Signatures
----------
A signature tells the property-tester something about the state your operation
acts upon, it has a few components:
```haskell
data Sig s o x = Sig
{ initialise :: x -> ConcIO s
, observe :: s -> x -> ConcIO o
, interfere :: s -> x -> ConcIO ()
, expression :: s -> ConcIO ()
}
```
- `s` is the **state type**, it's the thing which your operations mutate. For
`readMVar`, the state is some `MVar a`.
- `o` is the **observation type**, it's some pure (and comparable) proxy for a
snapshot of your mutable state. For `MVar a`, the observation is probably a
`Maybe a`.
- `x` is the **seed type**, it's some pure value used to construct the initial
mutable state. For `MVar a`, the seed is probably a `Maybe a`.
- `ConcIO` is just one of the instances of `MonadConc` that Déjà Fu defines for
testing purposes. Just write code polymorphic in the monad as usual, and all
will work.
The `initialise`, `observe`, and `expression` functions should be
self-explanatory, but the `interfere` one may not be. It's the job of the
`interfere` function to change the state in some way; it's run concurrently with
the expression, to simulate the nondeterministic action of other threads.
Here's a concrete example for our `MVar` example:
```haskell
sig :: (MVar ConcIO Int -> ConcIO a) -> Sig (MVar ConcIO Int) (Maybe Int) (Maybe Int)
sig e = Sig
{ initialise = maybe newEmptyMVar newMVar
, observe = \v _ -> tryTakeMVar v
, interfere = \v s -> tryTakeMVar v >> maybe (pure ()) (\x -> void $ tryPutMVar v (x * 1000)) s
, expression = void . e
}
```
The `observe` function should be deterministic, but as it is run after the
normal execution ends, it may have side-effects on the state. The `interfere`
function can do just about anything (there are probably some concrete rules for
a good function, but I haven't figured them out yet), but a poor one may result
in the property-checker being unable to distinguish between atomic and nonatomic
expressions.
Properties
----------
A property is a pair of signatures linked by one of three provided
functions. These functions are:
| Function | Operator | Checks that... |
| - | - | - |
| `equivalentTo` | `===` | ... the left and right have exactly the same behaviours |
| `refines` | `=>=` | ... every behaviour of the left is also a behaviour of the right |
| `strictlyRefines` | `->-` | ... `left =>= right` holds but `left === right` does not |
The signatures can have different state types, as long as the seed and
observation types are the same. This lets you compare different implementations
of the same idea: for example, comparing a concurrent stack implemented using
`MVar` with one implemented using `IORef`.
Properties can have parameters, given in the obvious way:
```haskell
check $ \a b c -> sig1 ... `op` sig2 ...
```
Under the hood, seed and parameter values are generated using the [leancheck][]
package, an enumerative property-based testing library. This means that any
types you use will need to have a `Listable` instance.
You can also think about the three functions in terms of sets of results, where
a result is a `(Maybe Failure, o)` value. A `Failure` is something like
deadlocking, or being killed by an exception; `o` is the observation type. An
observation is always made, even if execution of the expression fails.
| Function | Result-set operation |
| - | - |
| `refines` | For all seed and parameter assignments, subset-or-equal |
| `strictlyRefines` | For at least one seed and parameter assignment, proper subset; for all others, subset-or-equal |
| `equivalentTo` | For all seed and parameter assignments, equality |
Finally, there is an `expectFailure` function, which inverts the expected result
of a property.
The Déjà Fu testsuite has [a collection of refinement properties][], which may
help you get a feel for this sort of testing.

Using HUnit and Tasty
---------------------
As for unit testing, [HUnit][] and [tasty][] integration is provided for
refinement testing in the [hunit-dejafu][] and [tasty-dejafu][] packages.
The `testProperty` function is used to check properties. Our example from the
start becomes:
```haskell
testProperty "Read is equivalent to Take then Put" prop_mvar_read_take_put
```

Typeclasses
===========
We don't use the regular `Control.Concurrent` and `Control.Exception` modules,
we use typeclass-generalised ones instead from the [concurrency][h:conc] and
[exceptions][h:exc] packages.
[h:conc]: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/concurrency
[h:exc]: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/exceptions
Porting guide
-------------
If you want to test some existing code, you'll need to port it to the
appropriate typeclass. The typeclass is necessary, because we can't peek inside
`IO` and `STM` values, so we need to able to plug in an alternative
implementation when testing.
Fortunately, this tends to be a fairly mechanical and type-driven process:
1. Import `Control.Concurrent.Classy.*` instead of `Control.Concurrent.*`
2. Import `Control.Monad.Catch` instead of `Control.Exception`
3. Change your monad type:
- `IO a` becomes `MonadConc m => m a`
- `STM a` becomes `MonadSTM stm => stm a`
4. Parameterise your state types by the monad:
- `TVar` becomes `TVar stm`
- `MVar` becomes `MVar m`
- `IORef` becomes `IORef m`
5. Some functions are renamed:
- `forkIO*` becomes `fork*`
- `atomicModifyIORefCAS` becomes `modifyIORefCAS*`
6. Fix the type errors
If you're lucky enough to be starting a new concurrent Haskell project, you can
just program against the `MonadConc` interface.
What if I really need I/O?
--------------------------
You can use `MonadIO` and `liftIO` with `MonadConc`, for instance if you need to
talk to a database (or just use some existing library which needs real I/O).
To test `IO`-using code, there are some rules you need to follow:
1. Given the same set of scheduling decisions, your `IO` code must be
deterministic (see below).
2. As dejafu can't inspect `IO` values, they should be kept small; otherwise
dejafu may miss buggy interleavings.
3. You absolutely cannot block on the action of another thread inside `IO`, or
the test execution will just deadlock.
```admonish tip
Deterministic `IO` is only essential if you're using the systematic testing (the
default). Nondeterministic `IO` won't break the random testing, it'll just make
things more confusing.
```
Deriving your own instances
---------------------------
There are `MonadConc` and `MonadSTM` instances for many common monad
transformers. In the simple case, where you want an instance for a newtype
wrapper around a type that has an instance, you may be able to derive it. For
example:
```haskell
{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
{-# LANGUAGE StandaloneDeriving #-}
{-# LANGUAGE UndecidableInstances #-}
data Env = Env
newtype MyMonad m a = MyMonad { runMyMonad :: ReaderT Env m a }
deriving (Functor, Applicative, Monad)
deriving instance MonadThrow m => MonadThrow (MyMonad m)
deriving instance MonadCatch m => MonadCatch (MyMonad m)
deriving instance MonadMask m => MonadMask (MyMonad m)
deriving instance MonadConc m => MonadConc (MyMonad m)
```
`MonadSTM` needs a slightly different set of classes:
```haskell
{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
{-# LANGUAGE StandaloneDeriving #-}
{-# LANGUAGE UndecidableInstances #-}
data Env = Env
newtype MyMonad m a = MyMonad { runMyMonad :: ReaderT Env m a }
deriving (Functor, Applicative, Monad, Alternative, MonadPlus)
deriving instance MonadThrow m => MonadThrow (MyMonad m)
deriving instance MonadCatch m => MonadCatch (MyMonad m)
deriving instance MonadSTM m => MonadSTM (MyMonad m)
```
Don't be put off by the use of `UndecidableInstances`, it's safe here.

Unit Testing
============
Writing tests with Déjà Fu is a little different to traditional unit testing, as
your test case may have multiple results. A "test" is a combination of your
code, and a predicate which says something about the set of allowed results.
Most tests will look something like this:
```haskell
dejafu "Assert the thing holds" myPredicate myAction
```
The `dejafu` function comes from `Test.DejaFu`. Another useful function is
`dejafuWithSettings` (see [Advanced Usage](./advanced-usage.md)).
Actions
-------
An action is just something with the type `MonadConc m => m a`, or `(MonadConc
m, MonadIO m) => m a` for some `a` that your chosen predicate can deal with.
For example, some users on Reddit found a couple of apparent bugs in the
[auto-update][h:auto] package a while ago ([thread here][auto-thread]). As the
package is simple and self-contained, I translated it to the `MonadConc`
abstraction and wrote a couple of tests to replicate the bugs. Here they are:
```haskell
deadlocks :: MonadConc m => m ()
deadlocks = do
auto <- mkAutoUpdate defaultUpdateSettings
auto
nondeterministic :: forall m. MonadConc m => m Int
nondeterministic = do
var <- newIORef 0
let settings = (defaultUpdateSettings :: UpdateSettings m ())
{ updateAction = atomicModifyIORef var (\x -> (x+1, x)) }
auto <- mkAutoUpdate settings
auto
auto
```
These actions action could be tested with `autocheck`, and the issues would be
revealed. The use of `ScopedTypeVariables` in the second is an unfortunate
example of what can happen when everything becomes more polymorphic. But other
than that, note how there is no special mention of Déjà Fu in the actions: it's
just normal concurrent Haskell, simply written against a different interface.
The modified package is included [in the test suite][], if you want to see the
full code.
```admonish note
The predicates in dejafu-tests are a little confusing, as they're the opposite
of what you would normally write! These predicates are checking that the bug is
found, not that the code is correct.
```
If the RTS supports bound threads (the `-threaded` flag was passed to GHC when
linking), then the main thread of an action given to Déjà Fu will be bound, and
further bound threads can be forked with the `forkOS` functions. If not, then
attempting to fork a bound thread will raise an error.

Conditions
----------
When a concurrent program of type `MonadConc m => m a` is executed, it may
produce a value of type `a`, or it may experience a **condition** such as
deadlock.
A condition does not necessarily cause your test to fail. It's important to be
aware of what exactly your test is testing, to avoid drawing the wrong
conclusions from a passing (or failing) test.
Setup and Teardown
------------------
Because dejafu drives the execution of the program under test, there are some
tricks available to you which are not possible using normal concurrent Haskell.
If your test does some set-up work which is required for your test to work, but
which is not the actual thing you are testing, you can define that as a **setup
action**:
```haskell
withSetup
:: Program Basic n x
-- ^ Setup action
-> (x -> Program Basic n a)
-- ^ Main program
-> Program (WithSetup x) n a
```
dejafu will save the state at the end of the setup action, and efficiently
restore that state in subsequent runs of the same test with a different
schedule. This can be much more efficient than dejafu running the setup action
normally every single time.
If you want to examine some state you created in your setup action even if your
actual test case deadlocks or something, you can define a **teardown action**:
```haskell
withSetupAndTeardown
:: Program Basic n x
-- ^ Setup action
-> (x -> Either Condition y -> Program Basic n a)
-- ^ Teardown action
-> (x -> Program Basic n y)
-- ^ Main program
-> Program (WithSetupAndTeardown x y) n a
```
The teardown action is always executed.
Finally, if you want to ensure that some invariant holds over some shared state,
you can define invariants in the setup action, which are checked atomically
during the main action:
```haskell
-- slightly contrived example
let setup = do
var <- newEmptyMVar
registerInvariant $ do
value <- inspectMVar var
when (x == Just 1) (throwM Overflow)
pure var
in withSetup setup $ \var -> do
fork $ putMVar var 0
fork $ putMVar var 1
tryReadMVar var
```
If the main action violates the invariant, it is terminated with an
`InvariantFailure` condition, and any teardown action is run.
Predicates
----------
There are a few predicates built in, and some helpers to define your own.
| | |
| - | - |
| `abortsNever` | checks that the computation never aborts |
| `abortsAlways` | checks that the computation always aborts |
| `abortsSometimes` | checks that the computation aborts at least once |
An **abort** is where the scheduler chooses to terminate execution early. If
you see it, it probably means that a test didn't terminate before it hit the
execution length limit. Aborts are hidden unless you use explicitly enable
them, see (see [Advanced Usage](./advanced-usage.md)).
| | |
| - | - |
| `deadlocksNever` | checks that the computation never deadlocks |
| `deadlocksAlways` | checks that the computation always deadlocks |
| `deadlocksSometimes` | checks that the computation deadlocks at least once |
**Deadlocking** is where every thread becomes blocked. This can be, for
example, if every thread is trying to read from an `MVar` that has been emptied.
| | |
| - | - |
| `exceptionsNever` | checks that the main thread is never killed by an exception |
| `exceptionsAlways` | checks that the main thread is always killed by an exception |
| `exceptionsSometimes` | checks that the main thread is killed by an exception at least once |
An uncaught **exception** in the main thread kills the process. These can be
synchronous (thrown in the main thread) or asynchronous (thrown to it from a
different thread).
| | |
| - | - |
| `alwaysSame` | checks that the computation is deterministic and always produces a value |
| `alwaysSameOn f` | is like `alwaysSame`, but transforms the results with `f` first |
| `alwaysSameBy f` | is like `alwaysSame`, but uses `f` instead of `(==)` to compare |
| `notAlwaysSame` | checks that the computation is nondeterministic |
| `notAlwaysSameOn f` | is like `notAlwaysSame`, but transforms the results with `f` first |
| `notAlwaysSameBy f` | is like `notAlwaysSame`, but uses `f` instead of `(==)` to compare |
Checking for **determinism** will also find nondeterministic failures:
deadlocking (for instance) is still a result of a test!
| | |
| - | - |
| `alwaysTrue p` | checks that `p` is true for every result |
| `somewhereTrue p` | checks that `p` is true for at least one result |
These can be used to check custom predicates. For example, you might want all
your results to be less than five.
| | |
| - | - |
| `gives xs` |checks that the set of results is exactly `xs` (which may include conditions) |
| `gives' xs` |checks that the set of results is exactly `xs` (which may not include conditions) |
These let you say exactly what you want the results to be. Your test will fail
if it has any extra results, or misses a result.
You can check multiple predicates against the same collection of results using
the `dejafus` and `dejafusWithSettings` functions. These avoid recomputing the
results, and so may be faster than multiple `dejafu` / `dejafuWithSettings`
calls.
Using HUnit and Tasty
---------------------
By itself, Déjà Fu has no framework in place for named test groups and parallel
execution or anything like that. It does one thing and does it well, which is
running test cases for concurrent programs. [HUnit][] and [tasty][] integration
is provided to get more of the features you'd expect from a testing framework.
The integration is provided by the [hunit-dejafu][] and [tasty-dejafu][]
packages.
There's a simple naming convention used: the `Test.DejaFu` function `dejafuFoo`
is wrapped in the appropriate way and exposed as `testDejafuFoo` from
`Test.HUnit.DejaFu` and `Test.Tasty.DejaFu`.
Our example from the start becomes:
```haskell
testDejafu "Assert the thing holds" myPredicate myAction
```
The `autocheck` function is exposed as `testAuto`.
