Here is the output from log:

I thought it might be related to DanielG/cabal-helper/issues/90, but i can't find the solution of this problem.

A possible solution might be to add an explicit hie.yaml with the contents:

cradle:
  stack:

for simple projects and for more complex projects, use a more complex one, see https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine#project-configuration You can find the components of your projects via stack ide targets and components are your executables, library, tests and benchmarks.

@Hypnoes Can you paste the output of stack ide packages --cabal-files --stdout and just stack ide packages --stdout?

[Hypnoes]

@Hypnoes Can you paste the output of stack ide packages --cabal-files --stdout and just stack ide packages --stdout?

Nothing.

Btw, add a hie.yaml just work for me. But why? why it work?

[DanielG]

Ok, so how is your project setup? Do you have a stack.yaml, package.yaml, *.cabal file or all of the above?

If stack build works in your project but ide packages doesn't spit anything out I'd actually consider this a stack bug.

[Hypnoes]

@DanielG Emmm, I just found stack build goes wrong. I build a new project by stack new and it works. So it seems i'm not config my project correctly.

I'm facing the same issue here. Instead, with the following hie.yaml:

cradle:
   stack:

it does work.

Stack build builds properly the project and stack ide packages dumps the package name.

The interesting part is that the project is using a handwritten cabal file, though it does compile via stack (hence it is equipped with both stack.yml and the related project.cabal).

The resolver in use is lts-15.1, and the build-type: Simple is set.

[jneira]

@awgn and stack ide packages --cabal-files --stdout?

[fendor]

@awgn Please post some logs, if you use hie.yaml, your problem is definitely different to the posted issue. Ideally, open a new issue with logs attached, please :)

[jneira]

To be sure that it is the same issue the error log should contain: user error (Pattern match failure in do expression at lib/Distribution/Helper.hs:603:7-22) (with the exact line numbers)

If it helps, I am running arch and installed via aura -A haskell-ide-engine.

I had the exact error @jneira posted above. I added the hie.yaml as also posted above.

resulted in

The project I am in was initialized via stack new on Version 2.2.0, Git revision 95aaf2bc2c969622679c2a8233e7bb637e43210d (dirty) (8043 commits) PRE-RELEASE x86_64

stack ide packages --cabal-files --stdout produced no output.

I solved this by uninstalling haskell-ide-engine with aura and cloning the repo manually.
