So I'm trying to use HTF to run some HUnit-style assertions

% cat tests/TestDemo.hs
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall -F -pgmF htfpp #-}
module Main where
import Test.Framework
import Test.HUnit.Base ((@?=))
import System.Environment (getArgs)

-- just run some tests
main :: IO ()
main = getArgs >>= flip runTestWithArgs Main.allHTFTests

-- all these tests should fail
test_fail_int1 :: Assertion
test_fail_int1 = (0::Int) @?= (1::Int)

test_fail_bool1 :: Assertion
test_fail_bool1 = True @?= False

test_fail_string1 :: Assertion
test_fail_string1 = "0" @?= "1"

test_fail_int2 :: Assertion
test_fail_int2 = [0::Int] @?= [1::Int]

test_fail_string2 :: Assertion
test_fail_string2 = "true" @?= "false"

test_fail_bool2 :: Assertion
test_fail_bool2 = [True] @?= [False]

And when I use ghc --make, it seems to work correctly.

% ghc --make tests/TestDemo.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( tests/TestDemo.hs, tests/TestDemo.o )

% tests/TestDemoA
...

Failures:

  * Main:fail_int2 (tests/TestDemo.hs:19)
  * Main:fail_string2 (tests/TestDemo.hs:22)
  * Main:fail_bool2 (tests/TestDemo.hs:25)

But when I use cabal to build it, not all the tests that should fail, fail.

% cat Demo.cabal
...
executable test-demo

  * Main:fail_int2 (tests/TestDemo.hs:23)
  * Main:fail_string2 (tests/TestDemo.hs:26)
  * Main:fail_bool2 (tests/TestDemo.hs:29)

What's going wrong and how can I fix it?
