Build failure on travis with cabal due to haskell-src #93

Closed andreasabel closed 3 years ago

andreasabel commented 4 years ago

I tried to use HTF with ghc 8.8 and cabal on travis, but it failed (see https://travis-ci.org/BNFC/bnfc/jobs/622005387 ):

trying: HTF-0.14.0.1 (dependency of bnfc-system-tests-0.1.1.0)
next goal: haskell-src (dependency of HTF-0.14.0.1)
rejecting: haskell-src-1.0.3.1 (unsupported spec-version 2.4)

According to https://matrix.hackage.haskell.org/#/package/haskell-src 1.0.3.1 is the only version to build with ghc 8.8, but there seems to be a conflict, as the hackage released version of haskell-src requires cabal version: 2.4.

So, maybe not the fault of HTF, but I anyway want to alert you of this problem. See also my comment https://github.com/haskell-pkg-janitors/haskell-src/issues/8#issuecomment-562895012 .

As pointed out there, the TLDR is that https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_8_8_1.html clearly states that

Bundled packages and cabal-install

GHC 8.8 only works with cabal-install version 3.0 or later. Please upgrade if you have an older version of cabal-install.

I'd also like to plug this Travis CI script generator which makes CI maintainance more convenient: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskell-ci

Finally, haskell-src has made it into stackage, so HTF now compiles with GHC 8.10 (as well as 8.8, 8.6 and 8.4)
