HLS 2.11.0.0 doesn't work with both cabal 3.14.2.0 and 3.16.0.0, and HLS 2.10.0.0 shows compilation errors with cabal 3.16.0.0 even if compiling with cabal is successful #4692
Description
Your environment
Which OS do you use?
I'm on up-to-date ArchLinux
Which version of GHC do you use and how did you install it?
I manage my Haskell environment via GHCup, which I use to keep GHC, cabal, and HLS relatively up-to-date.
How is your project built (alternative: link to the project)?
The Haskell source code of the project seems to be unimportant. This is enough, for instance
import Data.Char
import Unsafe.Coerce
main :: IO ()
main = undefinedand I suspect you can even remove all but the last line.
The .cabal file is probably more important (despite I presume that the relevant bits from it could be cabal-version and default-language at most):
cabal-version: 3.0
cabal-version: 3.0
name: app
version: 0.1.0.0
executable app
main-is: Main.hs
build-depends: base
hs-source-dirs: .
default-language: GHC2024
Which LSP client (editor/plugin) do you use?
Terminal Vim
Which version of HLS do you use and how did you install it?
2.10.0.0 and 2.11.0.0, managed via GHCup.
Have you configured HLS in any way (especially: a hie.yaml file)?
Not that I know of (am I supposed to have such a file in the project, had I done such a configuration?).
Steps to reproduce
Essentially, try the 4 combinations of cabal [3.14.2.0, 3.16.0.0] × HLS [2.10.0.0, 2.11.0.0]. And see if the editor reacts as you expect when you mess up with the code.
Here's a screencast:
Expected behaviour
I'd expect the language server features to work.
Actual behaviour
The project I used compiled with both versions of cabal, but only pairing cabal 3.14.2.0 with HLS 2.10.0.0 results in the language server providing the expected diagnostics in the editor.
Of the other 3 combinations,
- cabal 3.16.0.0 × HSL 2.10.0.0 results in HLS claiming this error happens (even if when I compile the package all is fine):
