Is bringing up a REPL within the scope of HLS?

[korayal]

I'm using HLS via haskell-lsp on Emacs and right now we have to run haskell-interactive-switch command from haskell-mode to drop into a REPL, or load current module in it. And it seems if I'm not in a source module, some dependencies do not get picked up and it fails.

So, I was wondering if there's a plan to take over the task of bringing up a REPL, or is this out of the scope for this project.

It somewhat related with the new pr adding the feature of evaluate expressions embedded in docs in a repl. In a pr comment it was mentioned the possibility of evaluate module definitions directly (and the issue #94).
So it is not exactly the same cause you dont have a full repl session but i think it is related.

There is an intention to have one eventually, but this is tied to some upstream GHC features too. And I can never locate the issue I am thinking of, to do with API access and repl at the same time.

The question was answered and there is a newer issue tracking the repl feature, so closing
