Hi Artem, I think currently the best you could do is to clone primitive's git repo locally and install it from there, using `cd primitive; cabal install --with-ghc=...`. Note that you can run the test suite without these dependencies. The driver skips the test if a dependency is not found. See also #15137. (I wonder what CI is doing about this, I'm guessing it doesn't install dependencies so some of the tests are not run on CI) Ömer Artem Pelenitsyn <a.pelenitsyn@gmail.com>, 4 Ağu 2018 Cmt, 20:51 tarihinde şunu yazdı:

Hello devs,

Wiki page on testing says that in order to run all tests you have to install additional packages:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningTests/Running#Addition...

and kindly provides a command to do this:

cabal install --with-compiler=`pwd`/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --package-db=`pwd`/inplace/lib/package.conf.d mtl parallel parsec primitive QuickCheck random regex-compat syb stm utf8-string vector

After the af9b744bb one of the packages, primitive, does not build anymore. At least, its last released version on Hackage. I see that the problem has been fixed on primitive's master (a2af610). But what should I do to actually test master branch of GHC now?

-- Best wishes, Artem
