Re: Any ways to test a GHC build against large set of packages (including test suites)?

Hi, This is working great, I just generated my first report. One problem is stm-2.4 doesn't compile with GHC HEAD, we need stm-2.5.0.0. But that's not published on Hackage yet, and latest nightly still uses stm-2.4.5.0. I wonder if there's anything that can be done about this. Apparently stm blocks 82 packages (I don't know if that's counting transitively or just packages that are directly blocked by stm). Any ideas about this?

Ah, I now realize that that command is supposed to print that output. I'll continue following the steps and keep you updated if I get stuck again.

Hi Manuel,

I'm trying stackage-head. I'm following the steps for the scheduled build in .circleci/config.yml. So far steps I took:

- Installed ghc-head (from [1]) to ~/ghc-head - Installed stackage-build-plan, stackage-curator and stackage-head (with -fdev) from git repos, using stack. - export BUILD_PLAN=nightly-2018-07-30 (from config.yml) - curl https://ghc-artifacts.s3.amazonaws.com/nightly/validate-x86_64-linux/latest/... --output metadata.json - curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fpco/stackage-nightly/master/$BUILD_PLAN.y... --output $BUILD_PLAN.yaml

Now I'm doing

- ./.local/bin/stackage-head already-seen --target $BUILD_PLAN --ghc-metadata metadata.json --outdir build-reports

but it's failing with

The combination of target and commit is new to me

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Thanks for both suggestions. I'll try both and see which one works better.

Hi Ömer,

This is exactly the motivation for the Stackage HEAD works that we have pushed at Tweag I/O in the context of the GHC DevOps group. Have a look at

https://github.com/tweag/stackage-head

and also the blog post from when the first version went live:

Cheers, Manuel

Hi,

I'd like to test some GHC builds + some compile and runtime flag combinations against a large set of packages by building them and running test suites. For this I need

- A set of packages that are known to work with latest GHC - A way to build them and run their test suites (if I could specify compile and runtime flags that'd be even better)

I think stackage can serve as (1) but I don't know how to do (2). Can anyone point me to the right direction? I vaguely remember some nix-based solution for this that was being discussed on the IRC channel, but can't recall any details.

Thanks,
