debug Typing DebugView.debugView is now needed...

Can we reconfigure things so that only 'debugView' needs to be entered as per the current documentation?

As far as I can tell, the current docs still work. What problem are you seeing?

I get:

interactive :1:1: error: * Variable not in scope: debugView * Perhaps you meant `Debug.debugView' (imported from Debug)

What instructions are you following? Any deviations?

It seems that all such problems go away if I specifically load the Debug module via :m + Debug

The different form of the error message (with the "Perhaps you meant...") made me think it was a different problem...so it is covered by the documentation (via the comment in the FAQ)

I seem to always need to specifically load Debug via. :m -- do you not need to do that? I can't find anything I'm doing differently from the instructions, other than using stack commands for ghci, etc.

Maybe that ":m + Debug" should be part of the main instructions rather than part of the FAQ?

Which instructions are you following? I'm following the ones at https://github.com/ndmitchell/debug#haskell-debugger----

Yes, those same instructions. Could it be a difference between calling ghci directly vs stack ghci?

Which debug is stack ghci picking up? Does the issue go away if you run ghci directly? What happens if you run stack exec ghc-pkg list?
