ghc-mod seems to get confused by test stanzas

[mwotton]

Not sure this is actually enough to diagnose, but here:

elided spec file:

module MandrillResponseSpec where

import           Control.Lens
import           Data.Aeson           (Value (..), decode)
import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as BL
import           Data.Maybe           (fromJust)
import           Test.Hspec           (describe, it, shouldBe)
import           Text.Email.Validate  (EmailAddress, emailAddress)
mkMail = fromJust . emailAddress -- YOLO

spec = describe "mandrill response" $ do
  it "can parse a good email as a json string" $
    dummy `shouldBe` dummy

MandrillResponse

module MandrillResponse where

dummy = 1

with a window running

stack build  --file-watch --test --fast

with this setup, ghc-mod will sometimes give this error

orb ➜  git:(hermes) ✗ ghc-mod check test/MandrillResponseSpec.hs
test/MandrillResponseSpec.hs:9:18:Could not find module ‘Test.Hspec’It is a member of the hidden package ‘hspec-2.1.10@hspec_6v6j22VJyLg98uGX19QkK8’.Perhaps you need to add ‘hspec’ to the build-depends in your .cabal file.Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

@nrolland 's nostackoverride branch does not exhibit the behaviour afaict.

Next time it happens could you stash the stuff in .stack-work/ somewhere before deleting it and upload that somewhere?
