This is a Haskell implementation of the checktestdata tool. The language is build as a Haskell EDSL which can be used to check a specific format of the data, as well as checking semantic correctness of the data. There is also an executable providing backwards compatibility with existing CTD scripts.

For building, a recent Haskell compiler is needed, as well as a build tool such as Cabal or Stack. For installing both the compiler and a build tool, Haskell Platform is recommended.

For building with stack, run:

stack init
stack build

Then the executable can be run with:

stack exec checktestdata

The tests can be run with:

stack test

For building with cabal, run:

cabal install --only-dependencies
cabal configure
cabal build

Then the executable can be run with:

dist/build/checktestdata/checktestdata

The tests can be run with:

cabal test

Install the library globally on your system with:

cabal install

Then a checker program can be build with:

ghc --make ProgramName.hs
