Thanks for pointing me to this! I've never used nix, but it works using stack or stock cabal. However, I've found a question on stackoverflow that is, probably, related. They refer to a PR to cabal that, hopefully, fixes it.

I guess, the workaround is to force compile library static: cabal configure --enable-tests --disable-shared. Maybe a good combination of ghc-options would solve this, but I cannot test it.

Well, compiling the library statically is a rather intrusive change. Also, I don't think that this issue is related to Nix. The ticket suggests that it is related to compiling with dynamic linking enabled.

Hopefully, fixed that by changing tests type back to exitcode-stdio-1.0.
