Generating HTML output from criterion

Question

There is a nice example of HTML output from criterion at http://bos.github.com/criterion/.

Which command line option is used to generate this output?

An answer to a related question asserts that this output exits, but it does not seem to show up in the command line options when using --help.

Sorry I didn't get around to your comment-question.

The answer Jedai gives is right - just use -o. For example, here is a line from one of my Makefiles for running benchmarks using defaultMain from Criterion:

./Bench -g -u Bench.csv -o Bench.html -s $(SAMPLES)

Breaking that down, it says:

-g    run GC between each sample
-u    output CSV data to the given file
-o    output HTML data to the given file
-s    collect this many samples

Thanks for the -g option that did a great job for me and I got rid of many inconsistencies when using criterion.

Well if you just want html output, then yourBench -o yourReport.html will generate some perfectly reasonable output. If you want to use your own template, look at the templates/report.tpl example in the distribution and use the -t option.

Nice! I just skipped the, for me, unknown .tpl extension, but now I have learnt about the interesting library mustache with Haskell bindings as hastache.

It seems to me that you just pass the template as a command line option, and then it populates it. If the template happens to be an html template, then you've generated html.

See the source here: https://github.com/bos/criterion

I have looked at the source code, but I cannot find it. How do you pass "the template" as a command line option?

Thomas M. DuBuisson Over a year ago

@danr If --help isn't telling you (and it should) then just see the source for Main.hs and search for defaultOptions or template. you should see the -t option (which is just t in the options list).

@ThomasM.DuBuisson : Yes, thank you, I just didn't associate "template" with "HTML Output". Maybe this association should be obvious, but it isn't for me.
