  • How to test Tagless Final Algebra?

    to avoid unsafeRunSunc in tests, use the an integration library for your test framework and cats effect or whatever your effect system is; it will do it for you. E.g. here's the one for munit: https://github.com/typelevel/munit-cats-effect . Using unsafeRunSync is not the end of the world when you have to make code work with frameworky, side-effectful test libraries but your desire to avoid it is nonetheless commendable.
