Cabal doesn’t understand bootstrapping, so you’ll need to do it manually.

cabal install happy -f -bootstrap
cabal install happy -f +bootstrap

Then it should work, assuming $HOME/.cabal/bin is in your $PATH.

Mikolaj commented 2 years ago

My numerous CIs will be unamused. But @Ericson2314 is concocting a solution in cabal.project over at #haskell right now, so there is hope...

On my machine cabal build -fbootstrap does not seem to work, even while happy is in the PATH:

Could we avoid this flag altogether? What if we declare an internal library (sharing hs-source-dirs with happy executable), which bootstraps from a parser-combination-based implementation (so it is happy stage0) and is used to bootstrap happy proper?

Ericson2314 commented 2 years ago

I have deprecated 1.21.0 on Hackage before anyone else's workflows get broken. Sorry for the disturbance.

Ericson2314 commented 2 years ago

@Bodigrim That is basically just what we are thinking :). I will try to make a two-exe, single package 1.21.1, and on master right now we are splitting things up so there will be less ugly sharing of source code between two components.

Ericson2314 commented 2 years ago

https://github.com/simonmar/happy/pull/212 this is my attempt, but now the issue is needing Cabal to understand that happy-boot is to be used.

RarogCmex commented 2 years ago

@Ericson2314, thank you, but my workflow get slightly broken because 1.21.0 appears in Stackage Nightly (https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/issues/6252). I've used workaround with stack install happy :)
