Cannot install GHCJS while in Nix-shell mode

[Rizary]

Hi, I have the following stack.yaml:

# For more information, see: http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/yaml_configuration.html

# Specifies the GHC version and set of packages available (e.g., lts-3.5, nightly-2015-09-21, ghc-7.10.2)

packages:

#nix-configuration
nix:
 enable: true

and when i do

stack setup

inside nix-shell mode, i got the following error:

Preparing to install GHCJS to an isolated location.
This will not interfere with any system-level installation.

I have install stack inside the nix-shell, and when i do stack install (e.g. reflex-dom),:

stack install reflex-dom

i got the following error:

No compiler found, expected exact version ghcjs-0.2.0.20151230.3_ghc-7.10.2 (x86_64) (based on resolver setting in /home/user/folrdertest/testinstall/stack.yaml).
Try running "stack setup" to install the correct GHC into /home/user/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/

when doing stack setup, the same error above happened.

Any idea where i am doing wrong??

[mgsloan]

Looks a lot like a bug I fixed 3 days ago https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1874

Please try with the latest HEAD of stack (either via the repo or via stack upgrade --git

[Rizary]

Hi, thank you.

I have done

stack upgrade --git

but got this error:

Information about the commit this version of stack was built from is not available due to how it was built. Will continue by assuming an upgrade is needed because we have no information to the contrary.

but still got the same error. (i am doing this inside nix-shell

[Rizary]

SOrry for long issues, the way i solved this is by adding pkgs.zlib in my default.nix

and it worked.

Thanks @mgsloan for stack upgrade --git

[Rizary]

Ok, now i am stuck a little bit more.. after i do stack upgrade --git the stack bin goes to my /home/user/.local/bin whereas it should be in my /home/user/.nix-profile/bin/stack which symlink into my nix/store.

should i include it in my PATH? which sound a non-nixos way..

i have already try to install haskellPackages.stack_0_1_0_4_1, but too many dependencies missing and I cannot find it in my nixpkgs.

up until now, when i do stack setup it will fails as in my error:

--  While building package stack-1.0.5 using:
      /home/R/.stack/setup-exe-cache/x86_64-linux/setup-Simple-Cabal-1.22.5.0-ghc-7.10.3 --builddir=.stack-work/dist/x86_64-linux/Cabal-1.22.5.0 build lib:stack exe:stack --ghc-options " -ddump-hi -ddump-to-file"
    Process exited with code: ExitFailure 1

again... I already tried to fetchgit the stack in my default.nix but it does not install stack.

so i need to open again this issue.

thanks, Rizy

[Rizary]

Update:

I have uninstall stack by nix-env -e stack

and try to add my upgraded stack bin in ~/.local/bin/stack to my PATH.

stack is work, but when i do stack setup i got the following error

Configuring GHC ...

ok for now, i think i will leave stack alone if want use GHCJS and use other way instead. it is very daunting to keep going on with this.

[mgsloan]

@Rizary Probably the reason you are running into issues is that GHCJS support and nix support are both rather special features, which probably haven't been mixed often. Here's some great purely nix stuff for using reflex: https://github.com/reflex-frp/reflex-platform

I'm not very familiar with nix, but it seems to me like you don't have a working version of bash in your environment.

@YPares Are people intended to use stack setup with the nix support? Does it make any sense to change the default local-bin-path for the nix case?

[YPares]

@mgsloan stack --nix setup should be a noop if GHC is already present in the nix store. If it isn't, then the nix-shell started by any stack --nix command should download it first, so people are not required to launch stack --nix setup. As for the path, we rely on the one set by the nix-shell, and just call stack by absolute pack when restarting stack in the nix-shell, so normally local-bin-path doesn't have to be changed Indeed we haven't thought about using nix support with anything else than GHC, but @Rizary can you try using the ghcjs from nixpkgs (haskell.compiler.ghcjs) instead of downloading it from https://github.com/nrolland/ghcjs/releases/download/v.0.2.0.20151230.3/ghcjs-0.2.0.20151230.3.tar.gz?

[Rizary]

Hi,

i got the following results after using haskell.compiler.ghcjs

The GHC located at /nix/store/iii9kqiacqcn3xd05mlamv5f6dfy6y3b-ghcjs-0.2.0/bin/ghcjs failed to compile a sanity check. Please see:

    http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/

for more information. Exception was:

[mgsloan]

Seems like ghcjs isn't working, and isn't outputting anything. What does stack exec -- ghcjs --version do? stack exec -- ghcjs Test.hs?

[Rizary]

Ok i have done several things...

first, when i excute stack exec -- ghcjs --version it gets an error

No compiler found, expected minor version match or newer with ghcjs-0.2.0.20151230.3_ghc-7.10.2 (x86_64) (based on resolver setting in /home/R/AllHaskell/reflex-impress/stack.yaml).
Try running "stack setup" to install the correct GHC into /home/R/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux-nix/

then i do stack setup and gets the following error:

No information found for ghcjs-0.2.0_ghc-7.10.3.
Supported versions for OS key 'source': GhcjsVersion 0.1.0.20150924 7.10.2

since lts-5.5 attribute always missing, i changed it into lts-5.2, but the above error still happened.

Then i remove the shell-file parts, and added my stack.yaml with packages: [ pkgs.haskell.compiler.ghcjs ], and do stack setup, but then this error happened:

one specified in the config file.

[mgsloan]

Since ghcjs old base isn't changing anymore, we have an image for ghcjs-0.1. There has not been an official release of 0.2, so we don't have a tarball url for it. See the docs here http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/ghcjs/

[mgsloan]

BTW I have no idea what will happen if you try to use stack setup for ghcjs while also having ghcjs in the nix sandbox. It should install another ghcjs and use it instead of the nix ghcjs, but not 100% sure, particularly if the version numbers of the two ghcjs installs are the same, could get funky behavior where two different versions are using the same DBs.

[Rizary]

yeah true.. but still got the same error after doing that..:)

[mgsloan]

Remove compiler-check: match-exact. The issue is that lts-5 uses GHC-7.10.3, but I guess those GHCJS versions are build against 7.10.2

I'm not sure about the issue with cabal. Maybe try stack install cabal-install --resolver lts-5.5, with the global project (outside of the dir with stack.yaml)?

[mgsloan]

Closing this, as it's an old support ticket. If you think this is in error, please comment with more info.
