Couldn't execute stack setup --silent

[mkoloberdin]

I am experiencing a problem with stack projects both while manually running hie-bios as well as via HLS. Here is an excerpt from VSCodium's log (HLS version 1.4.0, OS: Arch Linux):

setInitialDynFlags cradle: Cradle {cradleRootDir = "/path-to-my-project", cradleOptsProg = CradleAction: Stack}
Couldn't load cradle for libdir: (CradleError {cradleErrorDependencies = [], cradleErrorExitCode = ExitSuccess, cradleErrorStderr = ["Couldn't execute stack setup --silent"]},"/path-to-my-project",Nothing,Cradle {cradleRootDir = "/path-to-my-project", cradleOptsProg = CradleAction: Stack})

Note the cradleErrorExitCode = ExitSuccess yet cradleErrorStderr = ["Couldn't execute stack setup --silent"].

If I modify the stackCradle function in Cradle.hs to run stack via env -S ... this issue goes away but hie-bios then dies with this error message:

hie-bios: stack: streamingProcess: exec: invalid argument (Bad file descriptor)

What happens if you execute stack setup in the root of your project? What is the error message?

[mkoloberdin]

It works fine. No error message but this goes to stderr:

stack will use a sandboxed GHC it installed
For more information on paths, see 'stack path' and 'stack exec env'
To use this GHC and packages outside of a project, consider using:
stack ghc, stack ghci, stack runghc, or stack exec

If I do a rm -rf ~/.stack first, then this gets spit out to stderr:

Preparing to install GHC (tinfo6) to an isolated location.
This will not interfere with any system-level installation.

And stack setup --silent does not fail with an error-code?

[mkoloberdin]

Nope:

$ stack setup --silent && echo "Success"
Success

[fendor]

but hie-bios fails, claiming it can't execute stack setup --silent? Can you change that to stack setup instead (in hie-bios), so you see stdout and stderr in the error message.

I've hit this issue as well (running on an M1 mac). Changing to stack setup in hie-bios gave the following besides Couldn't execute stack setup --silent:

but hie-bios fails, claiming it can't execute stack setup --silent? Can you change that to stack setup instead (in hie-bios), so you see stdout and stderr in the error message.

Just tried this with no other modifications and lts-18.7:

$ hie-bios check .
hie-bios: CradleError {cradleErrorDependencies = [], cradleErrorExitCode = ExitSuccess, cradleErrorStderr = ["Couldn't execute stack setup"]}

Closed, this seems to be not happening anymore?

Feel free to reopen if you still suffer from this.
