Hi David, Thanks for chipping in. I found the solution to be to include "directory" in cabal file "build-depends". I was confused because my stack ghci config didn't need :m + System.directory to work. But somehow cabal repl does not work without some kind of import. On Sat, Oct 22, 2016 at 8:00 PM, wrote:

Hi all,

when i execute cabal repl i get this:

<interactive>:1:8: error:

Not in scope: ‘System.Directory.getCurrentDirectory’

No module named ‘System.Directory’ is imported. because my ghci.conf has :def pwd (\_-> System.Directory.getCurrentDirectory >>= print >> return "")

Does anyone know how i can include System.Directory somehow even though its not used in my cabal project?
