@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbi need to bump nixpkgs anyway due to a broken aeson i think18:47:32
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpemight want to bump to the commit above, at least until the eval error is sorted out19:20:10

In reply to @alexfmpe:matrix.org
might want to bump to the commit above, at least until the eval error is sorted out
compiling for me, still not working, but neither jsaddle nor js is working so i think im doing something very very wrong

@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbsame error on both js and jsaddle19:30:40
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rb🤔19:30:45
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbthis is miso so maybe miso is broken, ill try a different commit ig19:31:01
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpecan you expand the error on the browser console?19:39:57
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbrolling back miso "fixed it" i may revisit this at some point but rn i actually want to write some code 🥲21:35:30
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbive been trying to get this working for the last 2 months21:35:37

I'm trying to build a project that has build-depends on both haskell-language-server and hls-plugin-api.
Getting the following error when trying to build it with Nix:

Error: [Cabal-7107]
Could not resolve dependencies:
[__0] trying: dosh-24.11 (user goal)

If I pin to nixos-25.05 it works, so it must be a recent breakage.

12:50:29
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornWell, "breakage".12:55:39
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornThe problem is that we are fixing hls with an overrideScope in config…-common.nix and that overlay one is not being applied to the exposed hls-plugin-api package.12:57:07
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornMore generally when somehow beating hls into compiling I generally don’t consider downstream consumers who link against it. I wasn’t aware of their existence.12:58:12
@ners:nixos.devnersIt's a thing that should work (the usage is valid) but does not. It even used to work, but has stopped working. That's by definition a breakage. :)13:08:45
@ners:nixos.devners* It's a thing that should work (the usage is valid) but does not. It even used to work, but has stopped working due to recent changes. That's by definition a breakage. :)13:09:09
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornWell if I had considered it breakage I probably wouldn’t have broken it. Sorry, about that, I now know better. We generally have quite a few cases where executable packages are configured in a way that they are not feasible to consume as libraries.13:25:56
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornBest fix is probably to apply the overlay to hls-plugin-api in nixpkgs.13:28:01

@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpe should shellFor have a withCabal boolean or so?
in the native case it can just go in nativeBuildInputs, but since for cross shellFor what we place in PATH isn't 'ghcbut<prefix>-ghc you need this sort of wrapping https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell-wasm/ghc-wasm-meta/-/blob/104d440e93fc05fefd36441e95013eda4b06f611/pkgs/wasm32-wasi-cabal.nix#L62-67 another options is having unprefixedghc, ghc-pkg`, etc point to the prefixed ones
15:34:08
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpe the current behavior of pkgsCross.foo.haskellPackages.shellFor is that both native ghc* and <prefix>-ghc* are in PATH, which is pretty odd to me 15:35:02
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpewell not odd per-se, I can see the benefit of having both available in a single shell, but certainly unexpected when extrapolating from native shellFor15:35:39
