hie hangs in typechecking module step with ghc version mismatch (project 8.6.4/hie 8.6.5)

[jneira]

• Using vscode: hie starts as usual until it has to typecheck the module
• Relevant log section:

  2019-09-13 00:22:36.1391282 [ThreadId 11] - ghcDispatcher:got request 2 with id: Nothing
  2019-09-13 00:22:36.1839489 [ThreadId 11] - ghcDispatcher:Processing request as version matches

• We can observe that the message "setTypecheckedModule: after ghc-mod" is never emitted
• The editor shows the message "Typechecking file" indefinitely
• Relevant code fragment in hie-plugin-api:

• Complete log: hie.log

In the logs, a mismatching ghc version is mentioned. Just for completeness, can you check if the same happens for a matching ghc version?

[jneira]

Sure, i ve just tested it with the same result: hie.log

It worked for me not much time ago so i've installed version e2f8e321 and it works. hie.log I'll try to identify the commit that causes the hang...

Ok, @fendor was right and it seems the cause is i am trying to open a stack project with ghc-8.6.4 with hie compiled with ghc-8.6.5, and it already was warning me. Not sure if it is the expected behaviour cause hie-wrapper falls back to hie-8.6 (that is, ghc-8.6.5 in my case) when it has not the exact version. Anyway this has a clear workaround and a existing warning so imho has not a high priority.
