I got around this by running stack install cabal-doctest before stack install. I'm not sure if this was a problem related to haskell-ide-engine build configuration or just my local haskell-installation problem, since I'm pretty new to Haskell and Stack. But maybe it would be a good idea to update README to say cabal-docktest must be installed beforehands, if it really is?

It isn't normally required. But our circleci.yml uses a different approach due to caching needs. Maybe @alanz could test a clean build with instructions from Readme and see if the problem can be reproduced.

Also, @juho-p, what does stack --version show? If it's less than 1.5.1 you need a newer stack.

juho-p commented Dec 3, 2017

stack --version shows Version 1.1.2 x86_64 hpack-0.14.1, which I guess is too old? Even with this stack version, hie seems to work at least for my basic use case, which is very nice.

alanz commented Dec 3, 2017

What I have found is that stack does not always deal gracefully with git-style dependencies and sub-projects.

So if my build goes funny like that, I will first do

$ find . -iname ".stack-work" | xargs rm -fr

From the main project directory

I've also run $ rm -rf .stack-work before installing.

You need to do the recursive one. Each subproject has a .stack-work too

@falsandtru

Indeed.

stack clean --full essentially does recursive removal of all the .stack-work folders. Stack 1.6.1 should be released in a week, and IIRC, it has some fixes that improve git support

It is a bad sign that cabal-helper wants to run cabal. Generally, I find that cabal-helper and ghc-mod are messy and fragile, but that's another topic. You might have success doing

stack install cabal-install

To install the cabal program.

The question is how we fix that once and for all. Is there anything we can do to improve dependency management in cabal-install so it installs cabal-install the way build tools dependencies are installed?

I'm pretty sure that one of the things cabal-helper is supposed to do is to make sure that an appropriate version of cabal is available.

@mgsloan it is perfectly alright for cabal-helper do want to run cabal, we use it to download and install the Cabal library if needed. This isn't technically necessary for stack since we always ought to have the right version of cabal lying around somewhere but no-one ever wrote the code path to short circuit all the install logic for stack. In fact I noted this before: DanielG/ghc-mod#725 (comment).

I guess we could just depend on some http library and download package tarballs directly instead of depending on cabal-install if anyone feels like implementing that.

Is it possible to ensure that cabal-install is installed before cabal-helper by the means already available in .cabal and Cabal-the-library? Currently cabal-helper.cabal doesn't mention cabal-install in any way.

See haskell/cabal#220
and https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/developing-packages.html (build-tool-depends)

Also I wonder if just adding cabal-install to dependencies, build-tools and/or setup-depends of cabal-helper will help us in any way with pre-2.0 Cabals.

At the very least we could document that stack install cabal-install should be performed before stack install for haskell-ide-engine

The dependency on the cabal executable is declared in Setup.hs but that only applies to Cabal < 2 so I guess we should probably add cabal to build-tool-depends actually.

I've tried using stack install cabal-install but had no luck. Stack and Cabal are up to date. What is the solution to this?

@alanz The upstream problem is closed now. Is hie updated to use the fixed cabal-helper?

There is now a new release of cabal-helper (0.8.0.0) but which has a bug, fixed in current master.

I am doing some final testing of the ghc-mod side of it at the moment, then will be able to push something.
