#233: case of Boolean values "true" and "false" should not matter ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: worksforme => Comment: Doesn't work for me: {{{ flag foo default: false }}} gives {{{ $ cabal configure cabal: Foo.cabal:28: Parse of field 'default' failed: }}} And this makes sense given the parser being used: {{{ , simpleField "default" (text . show) parseReadS flagDefault (\val fl -> fl{ flagDefault = val }) }}} `parseReadS` just uses `read` so is case sensitive. The `buildable` field also uses `parseReadS` as a parser. I think we have the same problem for other enumerations like `build-type`, `tested-with`, `license` and `extensions` though it's not so clear in those cases if it should be case sensitive or not. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/233#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
