cabal init not interactive by default in 3.0 #6761
Conversation
|
Hey @hyperreal-gopher, thanks for the contribution (and sorry the docs were out of date here)! I had started updating the docs in #6157 should have focused on getting the core differences published first. I just have one request to point to the "Getting Started" guide earlier in the docs for the benefit of future readers. |
|
Okay, @m-renaud, all done! I'm glad I could be helpful! I appreciate your guidance with this issue and appreciate your efforts in general. |
|
Just waiting for CI to finish now. |
|
Please merge squashed. |
|
@phadej it appears that the "Squash and merge" option from PRs is disabled across the repository. @hyperreal-gopher could you squash the commits on your end and then re-push? |
Since `cabal init` is no longer interactive by default (as per my version, 3.0.0.0), including other minor changes to the `init` process, change the `cabal init` section to mention the usage of the `--interactive` flag, and the new minor changes (which/the order questions are asked, what the terminal output is). I came across this problem while learning `cabal` (having recently migrated from `stack`) and reading this section of Cabal's quickstart guide. To be proactive, add TIP relatively-linking to the new getting started guide (https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html) in a TIP at the top of the page. Implemented because that is the best "entrypoint" to the docs, but many resources/searches still point the user to this page being modified.

Okay, I squashed it all to one commit! |

Thanks again @hyperreal-gopher! Updates are live at https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developing-packages.html :) |

That's awesome! I'm so glad I could help! Feels nice making my first contribution to the Haskell community. Thank you, @m-renaud, for walking me through this and reviewing. |

Apologies if I have made any mistakes; I am relatively
new to Haskell.
