haskellPackages.genvalidity-hspec: don't run tests #53682

Motivation for this change

The haskellPackages.genvalidity-hspec package compiles correctly but
the tests fail. However the package appears to work fine. I believe this is
caused by the update to GHC 8.6.

I have tested a couple packages that use this as a dependency, including focuslist and termonad. They both compile fine and their tests pass (which are using genvalidity-hspec).

Here is the upstream issue: NorfairKing/validity#55

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Hold on, this is not the right fix! This problem causes certain parts of the package to crash. It is a forward incompatibility. I'm releasing a fix today.

@NorfairKing Thanks for the update! I'll go ahead and close this PR then.

If you release a new version of genvalidity-hspec to Hackage, it should automatically be pulled into nixpkgs the next time the Hackage packages are updated. This generally happens once a week. So genvalidity-hspec should be able to be compiled then.

I just realesed https://hackage.haskell.org/package/genvalidity-hspec-0.6.2.2 to fix this.
