#709: cabal doesn't handle error conditions from getAppUserDataDirectory ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: creswick | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.12.1 Platform: Windows | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by duncan): I suppose we could improve the error message but I don't see that we can make anything work if getAppUserDataDirectory fails. It means we cannot read the config file. The error message issue could do with some work. We should make sure the topHandler is not throwing useful information away. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/709#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
