@varosi interresting on Linux there are only three failing tests remaining: https://gitlab.com/dxld/ghc-mod/-/jobs/52021481. If you could try again with ~master~ the latest commit from the gh802 branch and open a new...

@infinity0 we've split ghc-mod into two packages in that branch now, you need to install ghc-mod-core seperately or use `cabal sandbox add-source ./core` if you use sandboxes. With `cabal new-build`...

@hasufell please read cabal-helper's [README](https://github.com/DanielG/cabal-helper#cabal-helper), it explains why we do this. The Cabal version number comes from what is in `dist/setup-config`, you can check it with something like `head -n1...

Ah, indeed. I overlooked that. The runtime compilation doesn't go through `cabal` for various reasons, so the cabal file just doesn't apply there. We could quite easily compile-in the version...

@hasufell we have to fail hard. The version we get is dictated by the `cabal` executable version the user used when running `cabal configure` (or something that does that internally...

@infinity0 the issue you refer to talks about `cabal repl` how exactly is that related to building ghc-mod? If you want to use the repl just specify which component you...

Please note ghc-mod (as a development tool) is no longer supported: https://github.com/DanielG/ghc-mod#legacy. I'm going to be working on refining our software-stack\[1] for use with [haskell-ide-engine](https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine) instead. Especially working on `cabal...

There isn't even 8.2 support yet, aren't we getting a little ahead of ourselves? :) AFAIK nobody is working on this, I'd be happy to help any interested soul as...

@dcoutts See https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2771#issuecomment-131733124 which has at least some information about what we need but you'll also want to glance at the source code starting here: https://github.com/DanielG/cabal-helper/blob/master/CabalHelper/Main.hs#L185. `Main.hs` is the only...

@dcoutts here you go haskell/cabal#3872, that should get the discussion going :)
