如何在Haskell中使用testpack中的assertRaises?

我正在学习Haskell,我想做TDD。 我试图测试函数是否引发预期的异常。 我正在使用HUnit和testpack

testpack提供了一个assertRaises函数,但我无法编译我的代码:(

这是我的源代码:

module Main where
import Test.HUnit
import Test.HUnit.Tools
import Control.Exception

foo n   | n > 2 = throw ( IndexOutOfBounds ( "Index out of bounds : " ++ ( show n ) ) )
foo n | otherwise = n

testException = TestCase( assertRaises "throw exception" ( IndexOutOfBounds "Index out of bounds : 4" ) ( foo 4 ) )

main = runTestTT ( TestList [ testException ] )

当我用ghc编译它时,我收到以下错误消息:

test_exceptions.hs:10:107:
    No instance for (Ord (IO a0))
      arising from a use of `foo'
    Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Ord (IO a0))
    In the third argument of `assertRaises', namely `(foo 4)'
    In the first argument of `TestCase', namely
      `(assertRaises
          "throw exception"
          (IndexOutOfBounds "Index out of bounds : 4")
          (foo 4))'
    In the expression:
      TestCase
        (assertRaises
           "throw exception"
           (IndexOutOfBounds "Index out of bounds : 4")
           (foo 4))

test_exceptions.hs:10:111:
    No instance for (Num (IO a0))
      arising from the literal `4'
    Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Num (IO a0))
    In the first argument of `foo', namely `4'
    In the third argument of `assertRaises', namely `(foo 4)'
    In the first argument of `TestCase', namely
      `(assertRaises
          "throw exception"
          (IndexOutOfBounds "Index out of bounds : 4")
          (foo 4))'

怎么了?

答案 0 :(得分:3)

assertRaises期望其第三个参数是IO操作(类型为IO a),但foo的返回类型是一个数字(类型为(Num a, Ord a) => a),不是IO行动。

尝试将(foo 4)替换为(evaluate (foo 4))
