Cabal mixins and custom preludes using stack

[awgn]

HLS is not able to resolve symbols in custom preludes (e.g. relude) when the mixins way is used to replace Prelude:

  mixins:   base hiding (Prelude)
          , relude (Relude as Prelude)

Other methods, such as base-noprelude or NoImplicitPrelude are instead correctly supported.

also (last I checked) you can't have multiple Prelude modules in a project with multiple packages, even if they're not exposed in the cabal conf

@awgn thanks for the bug report, could you include the logs suggested in the issue template? Are you using stack to build the project?, it does not support well mixins for stack repl (and hls uses it underneath), see #823

Hello @jneira,

Yes, I'm using stack to build the project and it works. However, here's the HLS log:

Thanks for pasting the logs, maybe it would not be strictly neccesary but good to have it to let other users compare with theirs. I am gonna label it as blocked upstream as, in the current state of hie-bios we depend on stack repl support directly.

To confirm it definitely, the same error throwed by hls should be throwed if you load the file with stack repl.

[jneira]

The upstream issue would be https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5077 The obvious workaround for now could be using cabal instead (although we aim to support stack)

[ulidtko]

As a thread bump, I'll note that the workaround with base-noprelude can be crossed out: it's not viable anymore, because the package is no longer updated for recent versions of base.

Which leaves us HLS users with:

• -XNoImplicitPrelude — defeats the entire idea of having a local Prelude module;
• switching from Stack to Cabal — not OK in some projects/teams;
• disappointment & reversal to explicit import MyLocalPrelude in every module.

GHC bug #10920 seems also relevant.
