The devel server uses hint. A while ago I had it working with cabal-dev, but it stopped working for me lately. I have the following code that properly sets the environment:<div><br></div><div><div>forkExecSh :: String -&gt; IO ProcessID</div>

<div>forkExecSh command = forkProcess $ runIt &gt;&gt; return ()</div><div>  where</div></div><div><div>    runIt = executeFile &quot;/bin/sh&quot; True (&quot;-c&quot;:[command]) cabal_dev</div><div>    cabal_dev = Just [</div>

<div>        (&quot;GHC_PACKAGE_PATH&quot;,&quot;./cabal-dev/packages-7.0.2.conf/:&quot;)</div><div>      , (&quot;PATH&quot;, &quot;./cabal-dev/bin&quot;)</div><div>      ] </div><div><div><br></div><div>forkExecSh &quot;wai-handler-devel 8000 Controller withApp&quot;</div>

<div><br></div><div>I am probably going to break down soon and do something to fix the state of development interpretation. Let me know if you are interested in working on this.</div><div>The development server doesn&#39;t scale right now because it seems to trigger a full reload of the application. But the hint API allows for re-loading specific files. The hint API also has a field searchPath that might be useful. The other thought is to try out plugins-direct or plugins.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
is it possible (if yes, how?) to use the Yesod devel server with a sandboxed environment from cabal-dev? My main problem is, that the devel server is not able to load (i.e. see) custom packages that I&#39;ve added via &quot;cabal-dev add-source&quot; to the sandbox. I think it all boils down to specify a custom package path to the Hint interpreter.<br>


<br>
Any clues?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Timo<br>
