test-sandbox-0.1.0 versus GHC 7.8.4

[peti]

Do you think it would be possible to make this package depend on transformers-compat instead of transformers directly in order to enable builds with pre 0.4.x versions of the library such as shipped by GHC 7.8.4?

[junjihashimoto]

Thank you for telling me. You say build error of http://hydra.cryp.to:8080/build/558796/nixlog/1. Changing the package dependency is possible. I think I should do it.

[junjihashimoto]

The modification is done. https://github.com/gree/haskell-test-sandbox/pull/12

[peti]

Very cool, thank you for the quick response! We'll update our build in NixOS once the new version becomes available from Hackage.

[junjihashimoto]

Upload to hackage. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/test-sandbox-0.1.1 I will try to use NixOS.

I tried building the latest version, but unfortunately the build fails with the following error:

Thank you for testing build and sorry for not fixing this error. I want to test building this package. How can I lauch development environment easily? Is there NixOS on docker?

[peti]

I have no practical experience with docker, though, so I don't know much about it, but I'm pretty sure that a docker image exists.

[junjihashimoto]

I found root cause of above error. When mtl is lower than 2.2.1, Control.Monad.Except does not exist. So I modify test-sandbox package to use Control.Monad.Error when mtl is lower than 2.2.1. Latest test-sandbox is 0.1.2.

I think it is ok, because mtl-2.1.3.1's build is success on my pc(ubuntu). I do not check this on nixos. (I am studying nix and nix-expression on vagrant.)
