-- | A Testing Framework for Haskell
--   
--   Hspec is a testing framework for Haskell. It is inspired by the Ruby
--   library RSpec. Some of Hspec's distinctive features are:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>a friendly DSL for defining tests</li>
--   <li>integration with QuickCheck, SmallCheck, and HUnit</li>
--   <li>parallel test execution</li>
--   <li>automatic discovery of test files</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   The Hspec Manual is at <a>http://hspec.github.io/</a>.

-- | The <tt>it</tt> function creates a spec item.
--   
--   A spec item consists of:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>a textual description of a desired behavior</li>
--   <li>an example for that behavior</li>
--   </ul>
--

-- | <tt>example</tt> is a type restricted version of <a>id</a>. It can be

parallel :: SpecWith a -> SpecWith a

-- | Run an IO action while constructing the spec tree.
--   
--   <a>SpecM</a> is a monad to construct a spec tree, without executing
--   any spec items. <tt>runIO</tt> allows you to run IO actions during
--   this construction phase. The IO action is always run when the spec
--   tree is constructed (e.g. even when <tt>--dry-run</tt> is specified).
--   If you do not need the result of the IO action to construct the spec
--   tree, <a>beforeAll</a> may be more suitable for your use case.
runIO :: IO r -> SpecM a r

-- | <a>pending</a> can be used to mark a spec item as pending.
--   
--   If you want to textually specify a behavior but do not have an example
--   yet, use this:
--   
--   <pre>
--   describe "fancyFormatter" $ do
--     it "can format text in a way that everyone likes" $
--       pending
--   </pre>
pending :: Expectation

-- | <a>pendingWith</a> is similar to <a>pending</a>, but it takes an
--   additional string argument that can be used to specify the reason for
--   why the spec item is pending.
pendingWith :: String -> Expectation

-- | Changing <a>it</a> to <a>xit</a> marks the corresponding spec item as
--   pending.
--   
--   This can be used to temporarily disable a spec item.
xit :: (HasCallStack, Example a) => String -> a -> SpecWith (Arg a)

-- | <tt>xspecify</tt> is an alias for <a>xit</a>.
xspecify :: (HasCallStack, Example a) => String -> a -> SpecWith (Arg a)

-- | Changing <a>describe</a> to <a>xdescribe</a> marks all spec items of
--   the corresponding subtree as pending.
--   
--   This can be used to temporarily disable spec items.
