The test ensures we are able to run OxCaml tests for Dune. $ cat > dune-project << EOF > (lang dune 3.20) > EOF $ cat > main.ml << EOF > let i @ local = 42 > EOF $ cat > dune << EOF > (executable > (name main)) > EOF The test fails with an OxCaml error to demonstrate it compiled the ml file with the correct compiler. $ dune build ./main.exe File "main.ml", line 1, characters 4-5: 1 | let i @ local = 42 ^ Error: This value is local, but expected to be global because it is inside a module. [1] Demonstrate what happens when the extension isn't enabled: $ cat >dune< (rule > (action (write-file foo bar)) > (targets foo) > (enabled_if %{oxcaml_supported})) > EOF $ dune build ./foo File "dune", line 4, characters 13-32: 4 | (enabled_if %{oxcaml_supported})) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Error: Can't parse the variable oxcaml_supported without the oxcaml extension Hint: Try enabling the extension with (using oxcaml ) [1] Adding the extension to the dune-project removes the error $ cat >> dune-project << EOF > (using oxcaml 0.1) > EOF $ dune build ./foo
