## Tips and tricks
|
||||
|
||||
### with_ghc wrapper (e.g. for HLS)
|
||||
### Execute command with certain GHC in PATH
|
||||
|
||||
Due to some HLS [bugs](https://github.com/mpickering/hie-bios/issues/194) it's necessary that the `ghc` in PATH
|
||||
is the one defined in `cabal.project`. With some simple shell functions, we can start our editor with the appropriate
|
||||
path prepended.
|
||||
|
||||
For bash, in e.g. `~/.bashrc` define:
|
||||
If you don't want to explicitly switch the active GHC all the time and are using
|
||||
tools that rely on the plain `ghc` binary, GHCup provides an easy way to execute
|
||||
commands with a certain toolchain prepended to PATH, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
with_ghc() {
|
||||
local np=$(ghcup --offline whereis -d ghc $1 || { ghcup --cache install ghc $1 && ghcup whereis -d ghc $1 ;})
|
||||
if [ -e "${np}" ] ; then
|
||||
shift
|
||||
PATH="$np:$PATH" "$@"
|
||||
else
|
||||
>&2 echo "Cannot find or install GHC version $1"
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
fi
|
||||
}
|
||||
ghcup run --ghc 8.10.7 --cabal latest --hls latest --stack latest --install -- code Setup.hs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For fish shell, in e.g. `~/.config/fish/config.fish` define:
|
||||
|
||||
```fish
|
||||
function with_ghc
|
||||
set --local np (ghcup --offline whereis -d ghc $argv[1] ; or begin ghcup --cache install ghc $argv[1] ; and ghcup whereis -d ghc $argv[1] ; end)
|
||||
if test -e "$np"
|
||||
PATH="$np:$PATH" $argv[2..-1]
|
||||
else
|
||||
echo "Cannot find or install GHC version $argv[1]" 1>&2
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then start a new shell and issue:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# replace 'code' with your editor
|
||||
with_ghc 8.10.5 code path/to/haskell/source
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Cabal and HLS will now see `8.10.5` as the primary GHC, without the need to
|
||||
run `ghcup set` all the time when switching between projects.
|
||||
|
||||
This will execute vscode with GHC set to 8.10.7 and all other tools to their latest version.
