Hi,
I'm not sure if that relate to this problem so please ignore me if not.
I had to spend quite a lot of time understanding what the issue had, when
as you I had forget to add an entry for `exposed-modules` and trying to
build...
Basically I had an error saying that a symbol was missing or something like
that (can remember the exact message), but every time I have that issue it
take me a while to realise I have forget the entry...
I think it's not a type error, it's kind of a linking error maybe that's
why the repl fail silently.
Anyway, I was wondering if it would be possible to give a more helpful
error message in such case.
Cheers

Hi, I have just spent some time trying to figure out why all of a sudden "cabal repl" silently exits without an error message. What helped was to take a project that could launch the repl and compare the cabal files to my new project. It turns out the exposed-modules entry was missing. I was wondering whether this behaviour was intentional, as I don't recollect this happening before, but I don't have older systems to test this on.
The reason I wanted to run a repl without editing exposed modules was to test some dependencies I pulled in to the sandbox with cabal install. The package in question didn't have any code of its own yet. In this case I would just expect ghci to load with the Prelude.
