When I compiled some code this morning I got an error that said that I should edit my cabal file, but I notice that one thing is missing, the path to the cabal file. Having that in the error message would make fixing it a bit easier and faster in that emacs could take me right to the correct cabal file and that I would know for sure which one it was using.

I tried filing this as a bug on the stack github repo but they said it is a ghc issue.

/home/zkessin/Documents/*****/tests/test.hs:17:1: error:
    Failed to load interface for ‘Control.Lens’
    It is a member of the hidden package ‘lens-4.14’.
    Perhaps you need to add ‘lens’ to the build-depends in your .cabal file.
    Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
