Hello guile-user list,

I am trying to figure out modules and unit tests on Guile.

I would like to have a main.scm that prints a variable defined in
lib.scm and has unit tests in test.scm.

What I thought I had to do was to use

    (add-to-load-path (dirname (current-filename)))

This seemed to be the suggestion in 6.16.8 Load Paths of the Guile
manual. My entire main.scm looks like this:

    (define-module (applejack main))
    (add-to-load-path (dirname (current-filename)))
    (use-modules (applejack lib))
    (define-public (main)
      (format #t "Hello from ~a!~%" name))

My lib.scm is:

    (define-module (applejack))
    (define-public name "Applejack")

but I get an error, which I believe originates from current-filename
returning #f. Separately, the test suite in test.scm is just the
example in SRFI-64, but I don't know how to run it. I am using Emacs
and geiser-mode. If I run geiser-eval-buffer, I get test output, and
it promises that there is some more in vec-test.log, but the logfile
stands empty.

I would appreciate it if some pointers for the workflow of a small
Guile project along the lines above were given.

Regards,
Nikolaos Chatzikonstantinou
