#12395: Misleading GHCi errors when package is installed -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: crockeea | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #11536 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by crockeea): For the record, I was using a (common) sandbox for the library and the other program. In addition to cabal `new-build` and setting `expose: False`, another solution that should work would be to use `-hide-package mylib` when invoking GHCi. This results in a semi-reasonable error: {{{ Failed to load interface for ‘<Deleted file>’ It is a member of the hidden package ‘mylib-0.0.0.1’. Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12395#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
