#13375: ghc-pkg "cache is out of date" message breaks testsuite -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: ghc-pkg | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Other Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Since the merge of the package database locking business, `ghc-pkg dump` spews a message on `stderr` on Windows, {{{ $ "C:/msys64/home/ben/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-pkg.exe" dump WARNING: cache is out of date: C:\msys64\home\ben\ghc\inplace\lib\package.conf.d\package.cache ghc will see an old view of this package db. Use 'ghc-pkg recache' to fix. name: xhtml version: 3000.2.1 id: xhtml-3000.2.1 ... }}} When the testsuite driver sees this it (namely `testutil.getStdout`) assumes something has gone terribly wrong and aborts. From a cursory look it's not clear how we got into this situation; the file indeed exists and was certainly touched during the build. However, running `ghc-pkg recache` indeed seems to fix the issue. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13375 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
