"HsYAML is tested using YAML-Test-Suite"

[sjakobi]

…says the readme.

Are these tests automated somewhere? I suspect not. They probably should be though, so we don't accidentally break compatibility with the YAML spec.

[sjakobi]

I think the run-tml[2] commands of the internal yaml-test executable are intended to execute this YAML-Test-Suite:

HsYAML/src-test/Main.hs

Lines 134 to 135 in 603d8a2

	hPutStrLn stderr " run-tml run/validate YAML-specific .tml file(s)"
	hPutStrLn stderr " run-tml2 run/validate YAML-specific .tml file(s) while preserving comments"

Could this test suite be executed in CI?!

There is this testsuite which is registered in HsYAML.cabal: https://github.com/haskell-hvr/HsYAML/blob/603d8a23338db6abe5105c96ece182f2d930cf1f/tests/Tests.hs

Yes, this testsuite is also mentioned in the README, but it doesn't seem to test compatibility with the YAML spec.

If this is added as a test-suite in HsYAML.cabal with build-tool-depends pointing to the executable, then it would be run in the automated CI without manual patching (just regeneration of haskell-ci.yml).
