[GHC] #15055: ghci - improve error on hidden package
#15055: ghci - improve error on hidden package -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: akfp | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 8.2.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- A user boldly types: {{{
import Data.Foo
<no location info>: error: Could not find module ‘Data.Foo’ It is a member of the hidden package ‘package-foo-0.1.0.0@package- foo-0.1.0.0-5Itxx5SAgKEAspB2MHVKqi’. }}} The above error message is rather useless for a newcomer to ghci. After lots of googling, the user figures that `:set -v -package package-foo` seems to solve it. The original error should be: {{{
import Data.Foo
<no location info>: error: Could not find module ‘Data.Foo’ It is a member of the hidden package ‘package-foo-0.1.0.0@package- foo-0.1.0.0-5Itxx5SAgKEAspB2MHVKqi’. Try :set -package package-foo to make it visible. }}} Or something like that. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15055 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
