Ghc-mod expects MonadBaseControl to have an associated type of type StM instead of an associated type of StT
I am getting this error from installing the latest ghc-mod (5.2.1.1) from Sandbox Hackage:
[15 of 38] Compiling Language.Haskell.GhcMod.CabalConfig ( Language/Haskell/GhcMod/CabalConfig.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-94286619/build/Language/Haskell/GhcMod/CabalConfig.o )

Language/Haskell/GhcMod/Monad.hs:370:5:
Wrong category of family instance; declaration was for a type synonym
In the newtype instance declaration for ‘StM’
In the instance declaration for ‘MonadBaseControl IO (GhcModT m)’
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
ghc-mod-5.2.1.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
I've never seen this error before, so I went digging. In Language/Haskell/GhcMod/Monad.hs
'm sure he's doing something funny:
instance (MonadBaseControl IO m) => MonadBaseControl IO (GhcModT m) where
newtype StM (GhcModT m) a = StGhcMod {
unStGhcMod :: StM (StateT GhcModState
(ErrorT GhcModError
(JournalT GhcModLog
(ReaderT GhcModEnv m) ) ) ) a }
liftBaseWith f = GhcModT . liftBaseWith $ \runInBase ->
f $ liftM StGhcMod . runInBase . unGhcModT
If you look at monad-control in Hackage, there is StM
no such type , but only a related type StT
.
Unless there is some other trick here, I'm stumped. How will this be fixed? Thank.
