#11247: Weird error from running runghc on an invalid input filename -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rwbarton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.4 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #7765 Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I had files `random.hs` and `random.hi` and `random.o`, so I accidentally entered the following command with tab completion. {{{ rwbarton@morphism:/tmp$ runghc random. Warning: ignoring unrecognised input `random.' random.:1:33: Not in scope: ‘main’ Perhaps you meant ‘min’ (imported from Prelude) }}} #7765 is surely related, but with HEAD (well, rather old, but at least new enough to contain the fix for #7765), the error is not really any better: {{{ rwbarton@morphism:/tmp$ ~/ghc/inplace/bin/runghc random. Warning: ignoring unrecognised input `random.' random.:0:53: error: Variable not in scope: main :: IO a0 Perhaps you meant ‘min’ (imported from Prelude) }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11247 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
