Is there a way to write command line arguments for tests (exitcode-stdio-1.0) in the cabal file?
I can run the tests manually with
cabal test --test-options="foo bar"
but I don't want to (re-)type this.

It is possible to pass custom command line arguments to the test module.
To pass command line arguments, we typically define main() with two arguments : first argument is the number of command line arguments and second is list of command-line arguments. The value of argc should be non negative. argv(ARGument Vector) is array of character pointers listing all the arguments.
Only string values can be passed as command line arguments. All the command line arguments are stored in a character pointer array called argv[ ]. Total count of command line arguments including file path argument is stored in a integer parameter called argc.
There is no way to do this. As the comments suggest, if there are default options for the test-suite, they should just be baked into the executable. Command line options are intended only for overriding or modifying those default options. There is no way to add additional options in the cabal file
