Oh, I just remembered - I do this with `cabal repl`. So what I'm doing is usually starting with a small set of `build-depends` entries, and then changing my .cabal file and extending my REPL. I'm not installing new packages though. I agree, this would be a nice feature. On Sat, Jan 20, 2018 at 4:38 AM, Michael Sloan wrote:

I've tested this out but can't get it to work. Seems like ghci can only see packages that existed when it was loaded. Would be a good thing to add to ghci or intero.

If this was possible, then you could have a ghci macro that ran `stack build foo`, and, once it completed did `:set -package foo`.

I think you can do :"set -package foo".

Does that do what you want?

Hello

I've been exploring some code via ghci, and I've found myself in this loop:

- write some code - figure out I need another package (e.g. mtl for runReaderT) - add package to cabal specification - reload stack ghci - Ctrl+R all the statements to replay the session so far

Is there a way to speed up the loop, e.g. via loading packages directly from ghci or saving/replaying a session?
