What is the F# equivalent to OCaml's Sys.Interactive call?
f#

System.Environment.UserInteractive does not seem to be the right call. Specifically, if i include a unit test at the bottom of a module, how can i ensure that it is not executed when i load that module into the interpreter? Not certain about what the correct F# idiom is for this practice, or is this practice frowned upon?

thank you.

Hi,

If I remember correctly, you can use:

#if COMPILED


// some code


#endif

That behavior comes close, but is not exact. When i compile (fsc -a) and then load that module (#r) in the interpreter the code gets executed. The behavior with the INTERACTIVE macro/definition (?) is analogous.

You could test to see if the executing process is fsi.

open System.Diagnostics
let interactive = Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.ModuleName = "fsi.exe"
