#252: haddock document generation fails for executables when a preprocessors is needed ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Linux | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I'm coming to think I'm the only one who tries to generate haddock documentation for non library packages...;) When running "haddock --executables" with a package that has a module which is using a file extension to call a preprocessor, Haddock.getModulePaths will die with: Setup.lhs: can't find source for module moduleName If I add a library stanza to the cabal file, the problem is solved. This issue affects HEAD only. I must confess I do not understand why this happens, and I'm puzzled. But I don't know the cabal source enough, so I'll leave this to the expert ones. Cheers, Andrea Rossato ps: maybe even the short summary could be edited to better describe the problem. An English native speaker could be quite helpful with this...:-) -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/252> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
