The cabal-doctest library is deprecated #170

Closed danwdart closed 2 years ago

danwdart commented 3 years ago

See: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-doctest which references: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2327

Does this library still need it specifically? cabal-doctest blocks things from building on ghc 9.2.

This library doesn't need it to work, it's just useful to guarantee that documentation examples are correct. After reading the links you mentioned, and browsing the topic a little, it's not clear to me how we should achieve the same feature without cabal-doctest library.

Do you happen to know a working alternative ? If there aren't any, I guess we have 2 options:

  1. wait for https://github.com/haskellari/cabal-doctest/pull/72 to get merged/released, then pull that release in xml-conduit
  2. drop cabal-doctest dependency altogether

I'm opening https://github.com/snoyberg/xml/pull/171 right now, waiting for the outcome of 1/ to either close or merge it.

I've upgraded calab-doctest dependency through https://github.com/snoyberg/xml/pull/174, which should be compatible with GHC 9.2 . Don't hesitate to re-open this issue if you still observe an issue.
