To date, scripts had .sml suffix and were accompanied by a reference log with .sml.out suffix; with this change, scripts may have a .smli suffix, and such scripts can have expected output interleaved, and therefore no reference file is needed. The expected output is on lines prefixed '> ', and is ignored when reading commands from the file. If the script is successful, the generated .smli file will match the source .smli file; if the generated file contains the correct output, you should copy the generated file, so that it becomes the new source. Idempotent scripts are easier to read (the expected output is right there) and merge (you can inspect and manually merge expected output, rather than re-generating the output and hoping for the best).

Add idempotent mode for script tests. Currently a test such as
simple.smlhas a correspondingsimple.sml.outfile. With this change, the script would besimple.smliand the output would besimple.smli(in another directory). The test succeeds if the two files are identical.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
