Merlin behaves as if PKG ppx_bin_prot in a .merlin prevented other other PKG directives to be silently ignored. Here's a sample .merlin:
PKG ppx_bin_prot
.merlin
PKG
S . PKG base64 PKG ppx_bin_prot
The package base64 provides a module B64. A sample ml (or mli) file is the following:
base64
B64
open B64
This results in Unbound module B64:
Unbound module B64
$ ocamlmerlin single errors -filename example.ml < example.ml {"class":"return","value":[{"start":{"line":1,"col":5},"end":{"line":1,"col":8},"type":"error","sub":[],"valid":true,"message":"Unbound module B64"}],"notifications":[],"timing":{"total":0.9980000000000002,"query":0.3990000000000009,"reader":0.03200000000000003,"ppx":0.010000000000000675,"typer":0.5559999999999992,"error":0.0009999999999994458}}
Correct output can be obtained by commenting out PKG ppx_bin_prot in .merlin:
S . PKG base64 #PKG ppx_bin_prot
correctly gives no errors:
{"class":"return","value":[],"notifications":[],"timing":{"total":1.021,"query":0.1999999999999993,"reader":0.039000000000000146,"ppx":0.01599999999999957,"typer":0.7640000000000002,"error":0.002000000000000668}}
Setup: ocaml 4.05.0, ppx_bin_prot v0.9.0, merlin 3.0.5.
It would be useful to get error messages if something fails to load. Is there a way to get more output from ocamlmerlin to help debug this?
We used to report such errors to the user, but apparently that isn't the case anymore... This is indeed a problem.
