(wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 3) 2) error when installing or updating haskell

[qcfu-bu]

I'm trying to install the Haskell mode through doom.d init and I keep running into two consecutive lines of

Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 3) 2)
Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 3) 2)

when doom refresh attempts Installing & building packages. Quoting out haskell and refresh works normally.

The full debug message is quite long, not sure if posting that here will be of much help.

Upstream issue: haskell/haskell-mode#1691

[qcfu-bu]

Thank you, I'll close the issue

[hlissner]

I'll keep this open until it is resolved upstream.

[tchajed]

...and it's fixed upstream: haskell/haskell-mode@38c512b.

[hlissner]

Thank goodness. @tchajed Thanks for letting us know!

How do we recover from this error?

[tchajed]

You just need the latest version of the haskell-mode package. doom update should work for that.

[asymmetric]

doom update with the haskell module enabled hits the error. If I remove the module, the package doesn't get updated.

[tchajed]

Then maybe manually do a git pull in ~/.emacs.d/.local/straight/repos/haskell-mode followed by doom refresh?

You should also be able to remove haskell, refresh (which will delete the repo), and then add it back (which will clone it at the latest release), but that's a bit more complicated.

[asymmetric]

Thanks, doom refresh -p did the trick - a simple refresh doesn't purge orphaned repos.

[tchajed]

Ah, I didn't realize that (perhaps a change since I last needed to purge a repo). Glad you sorted that out!

So to summarize, the cleanest way to recover from a broken upstream package is to remove the relevant module from your config, delete the clone with doom refresh -p, then add it back to your config and run doom refresh to install it.

[hlissner]

@asymmetric That, or delete these two directories manually: ~/.emacs.d/.local/straight/{build,repos}/haskell-mode before running doom refresh (which will clone the new version).
