#11071: The "Not in scope" error is misleading -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mojojojo | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by mojojojo): Replying to [comment:3 jstolarek]: You're missing the point here. The issue is that the message does not make sense specifically when the namespace is **not imported in any way**. It misleads the user to assume that it is imported but does not contain the member (or has it hidden), when the issue is absolutely different. Your example is simply not related to the issue. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11071#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
