ghc: could not execute: hspec-discover when running haskell workflow

[minimapletinytools]

Hitting build failures with ghc: could not execute: hspec-discover which is the hspec preprocessor that discovers all the test files in the project.

See https://github.com/pdlla/tinytools/actions/runs/5051277877/jobs/9062940842

Unclear to me if this is in the domain of haskell/actions but hspec seems common enough that I thought it would be worth reporting here.

[sol]

Make sure to add

tests:
  tinytools-test:
    build-tools: hspec-discover

to your package.yaml.

(or build-tool-depends: hspec-discover:hspec-discover if you are using plain .cabal)

This is needed if you want to build your project with cabal. For stack it's not required.

[sol]

Also note that cabal test all may skip tests. You have to use cabal test all --enable-tests (sounds comical, but sadly it's true haskell/cabal#5079).

Alternatively, run cabal configure --enable-tests --enable-benchmarks first.

This is what you probably want to use:
