#10101: ghci :e throws exception after type error -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: diatchki | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.11 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: GHCi crash Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- After a type-error on the command line, :e starts throwing an exception. To reproduce: {{{ ~/src/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive test.hs GHCi, version 7.11.20150128: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( test.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: Main. *Main> 1 + () <interactive>:2:3: No instance for (Num ()) arising from a use of ‘+’ In the expression: 1 + () In an equation for ‘it’: it = 1 + () *Main> :e *** Exception: <interactive>: canonicalizePath: does not exist (No such file or directory) *Main> }}} The contents of `test.hs` is not important as long as there is a file to edit. Editing works fine before the type-error on the command line. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10101 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
