Support cabal only projects #625

Open typetetris opened 3 years ago

typetetris commented 3 years ago

It would be great, if cabal only projects would be supported too.

Sometimes its cumbersome to get a project to work in one of the package sets stack offers and you sometimes want to have the most recent versions possible of your dependencies.

Maybe just sketch what needs to be done, so maybe someone else could try it?

rikvdkleij commented 3 years ago

Yeah, that is already for a long time on my wish list. Some time ago I already reduced the stack dependencies.

Have to investigate how much code is affected. I guess the challenge is to keep the codebase maintainable for supporting Cabal and Stack projects. So to be continued 😄

Hey there! How is it going?

rikvdkleij commented 3 years ago

@typetetris no progress....

VS Code is now supporting the language server through this plugin, which in turn supports pure Cabal projects. If not the Idea diff/merge tooling, I'd say that it now should be the default choice for anyone looking to get an IDE experience with pure Cabal projects. But I still hope that Idea gets a proper Cabal support too, especially since Cabal V2 API - Stack has very little to offer in addition to it, and for those who prefer yaml-style configurtions, there's hpack that can be used independently from Stack.

@coderfromhere thank you. Stack is cluttering my home directory

Any ideas / pointers on how this might get done?

We've got some projects that are Nix-based (i.e. Cabal) and we really want to use intellij-haskell to work on them :+1:
