#7765: Odd error message for `runghc` with missing `main` function. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: isaacdupree | Owner: igloo Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.1 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by simonpj): * owner: => igloo * difficulty: => Unknown Comment: Nothing to do with `runghc` really; its the `-e` mode: {{{ ghc -e wombat what.hs <interactive>:1:1: Not in scope: ‛womab’ }}} But really it should say {{{ what.hs:1:33: Not in scope: `main' Perhaps you meant `min' (imported from Prelude) }}} I'm not sure where the `-e` processing happens, and couldn't find it with a quick look. Ian, you've been refactoring the pipeline recently, might you look?
