View Source Manifests
TL;DR: harness.exs describes how a harness project should be rendered.
What's a manifest anyways? A manifest typically describes a plan. A mix.exs
is a kind of manifest. It describes which dependencies a project relies on,
how it should be compiled, configured, tested, documented, and published.
Notice, though, what a mix.exs doesn't describe:
- an exact list of files to compile, test, or document
- an exact specification on dependency versions
For that information, you might have other more specific manifests or lockfiles: files which lock exact information into place.
Manifest Configuration
The harness manifest API piggy-backs off the elixir 1.9+ Config API.
A minimal harness.exs looks like so:
import Config
config :harness,
manifest_version: "2.0.0",
generators: [],
deps: []
