[erlang-questions] problems with PropEr includes from eunit

[Martynas Pumputis]

Hello,

I have problems running PropEr:check_spec/1 from Eunit.
With this line in module file:
-include("bp_app/include/log_utils.hrl").
PropEr stops working. After removing it, PropEr starts working properly.

Error message I get from PropEr:

motiejus:~/mll/gateway_app$ make test_gateway_specs_tests

Test passed.

I suspect PropEr recompiles those modules and does not add include paths
properly.

Relevant Code:
===== gateway_helpers.erl =====
-module(gateway_helpers).
-include("bp_app/include/log_utils.hrl").
-export([demo/1]).
-spec demo(integer()) -> integer().
demo(Item) ->
case Item of
1 -> undefined;
R when is_integer(R) ->
Item
end.

===== gateway_specs_tests.erl =====
-module(gateway_specs_tests).
-include_lib("proper/include/proper.hrl").
-include_lib("eunit/include/eunit.hrl").
-include("bp_app/include/log_utils.hrl").

yadda_test() ->
?info("checkspec says", [proper:check_spec({gateway_helpers, demo, 1})]).

This is a combined bug in rebar and PropEr as far as I can see. See my
entry on the rebar mailing list:

http://lists.basho.com/pipermail/rebar_lists.basho.com/2011-June/000888.html

PropEr relies on the source if the beam file cannot be found (it can't
when it's cover compiled), and it doesn't seem to know about ERL_LIBS or
the include paths used. Especially since rebar copies the source file to
the .eunit folder, it's harder for PropEr to detect linked source files.

You might want to reply on the rebar mailing list to get some traction
for fixing the problem.

Cheers,
Adam
