Can not load module in Setup.hs

[tz70s]

Hi, I', not sure this is a problem related to hie, bare with me asking here.

Environment:

• Mac OSX Mojave
• Only install stack (v1.9.3) via home brew instead of Haskell platform.
• HIE source build for 8.6.3 (lts-13.8)
• vscode plugin for editor frontend.

Everything works fine: code completion, linting, formatting, etc; but there's always an error log on vscode as following for Setup.hs:

Could not load module ‘Prelude’
It is a member of the hidden package ‘base-4.12.0.0’.
You can run ‘:set -package base’ to expose it.
(Note: this unloads all the modules in the current scope.)
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

Could not load module ‘Distribution.Simple’
It is a member of the hidden package ‘Cabal-2.4.1.0’.
You can run ‘:set -package Cabal’ to expose it.
(Note: this unloads all the modules in the current scope.)
It is a member of the hidden package ‘Cabal-2.4.0.1’.
You can run ‘:set -package Cabal’ to expose it.
(Note: this unloads all the modules in the current scope.)
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

This is quite bothering me, am I missing anything? Thanks!

I am having the exact same issue, don't know what I missed here.

@alanz could these be .ghc.environment files?

[akhoroshev]

Same issue

OS: Debian 9.8 stretch
HIE source build for 8.6.3 (lts-13.8)

[alanz]

Can someone post the output of the hie.log (first part, giving environment, versions, etc) so we can confirm exactly what is running?

Here's my log dumped from vscode:

I think this is not an issue specific to hie (and also vscode-hie), I can reproduce this after switching to Intero (and spacemacs). Maybe it's caused by build tool settings (stack, cabal)?

tested with stack/cabal on an empty proejct

[PanAeon]

I think Setup.hs file is an entry point for the cabal builder itself, and it is unrelated to the rest of the build. So ghc-mod might get a little confused. Can we prevent sending diagnostics for Setup.hs, as getting them while opening this file is a bit annoying?

[pigmej]

It's definitely not only macOS issue. The same happens on Linux envs. Fresh cabal init project and it happens for me on any multiple linux environments.

[Zorgatone]

Same here 👍 Can we do something about it?

[willisplummer]

I'm running into this too on a fresh stack init project -- not vscode specific though: I see it when I exec ghcide from the command line as well

[zzantares]

Me too I'm having this on a newly created stack project, is there a way to say "ignore this file"? perhaps that would be enough to fix that for now.

[fendor]

Soon, in #1126, ignoring certain files will be possible

[ivnsch]

Not sure if it's relevant but I get this too with ghcide https://github.com/digital-asset/ghcide/issues/135#issuecomment-568905012

[willisplummer]

@fendor i see that PR was merged but i haven't been able to find anything about how to ignore certain files?

[fendor]

@willisplummer You can specify exactly which files to load with a hie.yaml file. Examples are at: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine#project-configuration

cradle:
  multi:
    - path: ./
      config:
        cradle:
          cabal:
            component: "lib:project"
    - path: ./Setup.hs
      config:
        cradle:
          none:

You can use a none-cradle to signal that this path should never be loaded.

What do you mean by "none-cradle"? Where do you specify that?
