Better reporting of failing to build dependencies

[domenkozar]

ghcide reports in the editor:

<command line>: cannot satisfy -package warp-systemd-0.1.0.0
    (use -v for more information)

while the terminal is saying:

$ stack build

Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:

In the dependencies for warp-systemd-0.1.0.0:
    base-4.12.0.0 from stack configuration does not match >=4.9 && <4.10  (latest matching version is 4.9.1.0)
    network-2.8.0.1 from stack configuration does not match >=2.6.3.0 && <2.7  (latest matching version is 2.6.3.6)
needed due to cachix-server-0.1.0.0 -> warp-systemd-0.1.0.0

Some different approaches to resolving this:

What does stack ghci show you? I expect that the issue is probably in that and I’m not sure there is much we can do about this.

I'll retest once haskell/ghcide#50 is fixed

Running into a similar issue using cabal-install:

Starting ghcide (GHC v8.6)
/Users/mess/Development/pynchon
[1/6] Finding hie-bios cradle
Cradle {cradleRootDir = "/Users/mess/Development/pynchon", cradleOptsProg = CradleAction: cabal}

[2/6] Converting Cradle to GHC session
ghcide: <command line>: cannot satisfy -package-id relude-0.5.0-IilVdiUKSDE6mRqTfZAX48
    (use -v for more information)

Confusingly, cabal new-repl and cabal new-build complete fine. I am trying to use ghcide via ghcide-nix inside of a haskell.nix environment. Relude is my only dependency.

Seems like it's up to hie-bios to capture whatever happens and throw it back in the exception?

@matthewess I think your issue is quite different - the one from @domenkozar seems to be about the error message, whereas yours seems to be setup (which I assume is a Cabal vs Nix fight?).

[sloane-shark]

You’re right! I’ll open another issue.

Afaik the state of things about build errors reporting has not improved since this. 😟

As there is a new issue about this, oriented to the recommended server, hls, i am gonna close this one
