Sort-of related, I have this setting to honour the escape sequences in my
*compile* buffer
```
;;----------------------------------------------------------------------
;; Enable ansi colours in the compile buffer.

(require 'ansi-color)
(defun my-colorize-compilation-buffer ()
(when (eq major-mode 'compilation-mode)
(ansi-color-apply-on-region compilation-filter-start (point-max))))
(add-hook 'compilation-filter-hook 'my-colorize-compilation-buffer))
```

Dear Cafe,
Greeting Gentle Haskellers,
I know this may really be a question for the emacs guys, but I thought for sure someone here has encoutered the same thing and would recognize the problem right away.
Here is my progam:
module Main where main = xprint "hi"
Yes, xprint is intensional, I want an error.
I am in haskell mode in emacs. I type C-c C-l running haskell-process-load-file, and get:
Hours of hacking await! If I break, you can: 1. Restart: M-x haskell-process-restart 2. Configure logging: C-h v haskell-process-log (useful for debugging) 3. General config: M-x customize-mode 4. Hide these tips: C-h v haskell-process-show-debug-tips .[;1m/home/henry/a.hs:2:8-13: .[;1m.[31merror:.[0m.[0m.[;1m.[0m.[0m.[;1m … • Variable not in scope: xprint :: [Char] -> t • Perhaps you meant ‘print’ (imported from Prelude).[0m.[0m .[;1m/home/henry/a.hs:2:8-13: .[;1m.[31merror:.[0m.[0m.[;1m.[0m.[0m.[;1m … • Variable not in scope: xprint :: [Char] -> t • Perhaps you meant ‘print’ (imported from Prelude).[0m.[0m Compilation failed.
but when I swich to the *haskell* buffer and type :r, I get the beautiful, colorized message:
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( /home/henry/a.hs, interpreted )
/home/henry/a.hs:2:8-13: error: • Variable not in scope: xprint :: [Char] -> t • Perhaps you meant ‘print’ (imported from Prelude) | 2 | main = xprint "hi" | ^^^^^^ Failed, no modules loaded.
Where the escape sequences have been interpreted correctly. What do I have misconfigured? Please point me in a direction. Thanks in advance.
Best wishes, Henry Laxen
