- Added a new sub package just for testing
- the subpackage takes the built executable as a build dependency and runs the tests
A new test project is required. The tests need to make use of the executable build by the main project. With just cabal, this is possible using a test-target inside the same project via referring to the executable using build-depends However, normally, nix won't install the built executable until the tests for the project have run, so nix builds will not work.
The haskell unittest has a big difference from the shell test - instead of actually building the derivation, it parses it and checks that its input derivations are as expected, as this is much quicker.
- also: print a deprecation warning instead of running test.sh
