 lxsameer | hey folks,do we support cabal 3.14 for development? | 15:16:38 |
 alexfmpe | not sure what "for development" means, does this answer it?
$ nix-build -A cabal-install
/nix/store/diig4i6ln0ia8xvv4kqs99klpjhlpzfl-cabal-install-3.14.2.0
| 15:38:44 |
| lxsameer | sorry for the confusion, apparently, cabal2nix does not like the cabal-version: 3.14 | 15:51:24 |
| lxsameer | in a cabal file | 15:51:28 |
 maralorn | That was I think fixed very recently on the haskell-updates. | 15:52:48 |
 ners | I found a package that has outdated dependency bounds. Trying to build it with doJailbreak , I would expect it to either succeed or fail at compile time, but:
Configuring OTP-0.1.0.0...

| alexfmpe | cabal2nix doesn't handle conditionals properly (for now), and the deps are behind a if, so they don't survive the conversion to .nix | 17:01:15 |
| alexfmpe | https://hackage.haskell.org/package/OTP-0.1.0.0/src/OTP.cabal | 17:01:16 |
| alexfmpe | You can workaround by shoving them in with addBuildDepends | 17:01:41 |
| alexfmpe | You can see examples in the configuration-ghcjs-9.x and configuration-darwin files | 17:02:26 |
 Collin Arnett | How can I get the haddoc html files for dependencies of my project when using shellFor? I have doHaddoc turned on for my dependencies. | 18:35:27 |
| alexfmpe | It's on by default I think? | 19:35:28 |
| alexfmpe | Easiest way is to run hoogle locally | 19:35:41 |
| alexfmpe | hoogle server --local -p 8080 | 19:36:18 |
| alexfmpe | might need withHoogle = true, don't remember if default in shellFor | 19:36:48 |
| Collin Arnett | Does the hoogle server serve the haddocs as well? I'm not really sure what I'm looking for so I would like to browse the docs like I would on hackage. | 20:44:03 |
| Collin Arnett | Oh I see it does link them locally after you click on the package from hoogle. Thank you :D | 20:49:02 |
