config file access failed when built with ghc 9.6.2

[iMichka]

Hello

I am trying to build allure with ghc 9.6.2 in homebrew. This worked well, but I get the following runtime error:

/usr/local/Cellar/allureofthestars/0.11.0.0_4/bin/Allure --dbgMsgSer --dbgMsgCli --logPriority 0 --newGame 3 --maxFps 100000 --stopAfterFrames 50 --automateAll --keepAutomated --gameMode battle --setDungeonRng "SMGen 7 7" --setMainRng "SMGen 7 7"
Allure: Error when parsing configuration file. Please fix config.ui.ini or remove it altogether. The details:

I'm unsure how to fix this, could you please help us get this fixed? Thanks!

[Mikolaj]

Thank you for the report. On it.

[Mikolaj]

It fails the same with GHC 9.4.6. A package I'm using must have changed behaviour and I have no upper bounds set in the .cabal file, so it's silently accepted. Such silent breakage is the price. Will diagnose further.

[Mikolaj]

Right. For GHC 9.6 we need a new version of package hsini and the new version changed its behaviour

https://github.com/magthe/hsini/issues/27

Let's see if this can be fixed upstream. Then we don't need to touch the source code of Allure (nor LambdaHack) as long as the newest hsini is used.

If we don't hear back soon, let me know and I'd hack a workaround and release an interim version of LambdaHack and Allure with the workaround included.

[iMichka]

Hi. Looks like upstream did not respond yet. Do you think a workaround is doable to unblock the situation?

[Mikolaj]

The upstream hsini author fixed the problem just now. Could you check? (cabal update is needed.)

I wonder if the SDL implementation on Mac works fine right now. The Windows one was broken recently. Could you kindly start the game and see if colourful characters move on the screen and also if pressing any key makes them stop? If so, it's probably fine on a Mac.

[iMichka]

Yes the rebuild worked!

And I tried to play the game (I have no clue what is going on, but it looks fun). I got hit by a feral home robot:

It happens to the best of us. :D

Thank you for everything. Cheers!
