Description

The command line arguments and the recursive searching for .elm files in directories are currently tested in the ./tests/run-tests.sh script. Supposedly it is possible to write tests in haskell that test IO. It would be great to get some examples of such haskell tests added so that we can replace the shell script tests for testing all the different command line arguments.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Write Haskell tests using a testing framework like Hspec or Tasty to test command line argument parsing and recursive file search in Main.hs. Examine the existing shell script tests for guidance and replicate their coverage in Haskell.
