*We should add a cabal run command* [snip]
I think we could improve this use case by introducing a new command, cabal run, with the following parameters:
cabal run <executable> <args>
which would run
cabal build dist/build/<executable>/<executable> <args>
I like this idea, but this is for executables only. Recently, I had to add a MIN_VERSION macro to my code because of the old-time / time change in directory, but couldn't test the library in ghci because the macro was not defined. I discovered that configuring ghci with :set -optP-include -optPdist/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h tells ghci about the macro, but I find this even more cumbersome than dist/build/<executable>/<executable>. So, if I'm not missing something, it may also be comfortable to add a cabal ghci command which tells ghci about cabal's configuration. Regards, Björn
