I'm totally new in haskell, and trying to install hfmt using stack.
stack install hfmt
but it shows
Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:
In the dependencies for hfmt-0.2.0:
hindent-4.6.4 must match ==5.* (latest applicable is 5.2.5)
hlint-1.9.35 must match ==2.* (latest applicable is 2.0.15)
stylish-haskell-0.6.1.0 must match ==0.8.* (latest applicable is 0.8.1.0)
needed for unknown reason - stack invariant violated.
So, I tried to re-install hindent , hlint and stylish-haskell again.
However I couldn't find any command - stack upgrade or stack update.. even I failed to remove these packages.
Could you help install/update these package?
With reports like this, it's best to include the output of stack --version to know what version of the tool you're using. Also, how you installed Stack can be useful information.
As for hfmt: there's no version of it present in a Stackage snapshot, which you can see here:
https://www.stackage.org/package/hfmt
On my machine, I was able to build successfully against LTS 10.3, using this command:
stack install hfmt-0.2.0 --resolver lts-10.3

I want to install the Haskell libary hip from https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hip by using stack. This does not work, because stack seems to not being able to install dependencies.
I have stack freshly installed by curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh, and stack --version gives me
Version 1.9.3, Git revision 40cf7b37526b86d1676da82167ea8758a854953b (6211 commits) x86_64 hpack-0.31.1
I have tried several things like another resolver, reinstalling different versions of stack, ghc or cabal.
I have tried stack new test, and inside the test folder, i wrote stack install hip.
I got the following error:
Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were
encountered:
In the dependencies for hip-1.5.3.0:
Chart must match >=1.5, but the stack configuration has no specified
version (latest matching version is 1.9)
Chart-diagrams must match >=1.5, but the stack configuration has no
specified version (latest matching version is 1.9)
needed since hip is a build target.
Some different approaches to resolving this:
* Consider trying 'stack solver', which uses the cabal-install solver to
attempt to find some working build configuration. This can be convenient
when dealing with many complicated constraint errors, but results may be
unpredictable.
* Recommended action: try adding the following to your extra-deps
in /home/jarek/Desktop/test/stack.yaml:
Chart-1.9#sha256:f41568b6b3704f66c2ec163295b430ab7d798f91de426c2d5aba747d1135cd9b

Plan construction failed.
I expect something like:
Building dependencies...
Installing Chart-1.9
...
...
...
hip successfully installed.
Please tell me if i did not provide all infos necessary for you to help me with my problem.
Installing with the resolver lts-7.5 works.
Why not do what stack recommended?
Recommended action: try adding the following to your extra-deps
in /home/jarek/Desktop/test/stack.yaml:
Chart-1.9#sha256:f41568b6b3704f66c2ec163295b430ab7d798f91de426c2d5aba747d1135cd9b

It's the easiest way to accomplish your goal.
Update: lts-10.10 is the most recent resolver to include hip. If you update your stack.yaml to use lts-10.10 and add hip in your .cabal file, you should be good to go.
I just installed Stack using
curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh
The install went fine but when trying to install Intero using Stack it fails
ffriis#BNEC02QR6Y0G8WN ~> stack install hlint intero
Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:
In the dependencies for intero-0.1.32:
ghc-8.4.4 from stack configuration does not match >=7.8 && <=8.4.3 (latest matching version is 8.4.3)
needed since intero is a build target.
Some different approaches to resolving this:
* Set 'allow-newer: true' in /Users/ffriis/.stack/config.yaml to ignore all version constraints and build anyway.
* Consider trying 'stack solver', which uses the cabal-install solver to attempt to find some working build configuration. This can be convenient when dealing with many complicated constraint
errors, but results may be unpredictable.
* Recommended action: try adding the following to your extra-deps in /Users/ffriis/.stack/global-project/stack.yaml:
ghc-8.4.3#sha256:07ee8fb5dab414c35f93d5d5afc1ecaa65a49c409346e5063436cc8b838cd754
Plan construction failed.
I've edited the file as instructed but I'm still getting the same error. What is the best way to resolve the problem?
Currently intero supports GHC 8.4.3, but stack is grabbing 8.4.4. Change your resolver to lts-12.14 in stack.yaml
I'm trying to setup a new project using the nightly-2017-08-17 snapshot
stack new test --resolver nightly-2017-08-17
However this gives the following error:
Downloading template "new-template" to create project "test" in test/ ...
Looking for .cabal or package.yaml files to use to init the project.
Using cabal packages:
- test/test.cabal
Selected resolver: nightly-2017-08-17
Unable to parse cabal file: FromString "This package requires at least Cabal version 2.0" Nothing
Cabal is in its latest version:
stack setup --upgrade-cabal
Currently installed Cabal is 2.0.0.2, newest is 2.0.0.2. I'm not upgrading Cabal.
stack will use a sandboxed GHC it installed
For more information on paths, see 'stack path' and 'stack exec env'
To use this GHC and packages outside of a project, consider using:
stack ghc, stack ghci, stack runghc, or stack exec
Is this not the correct way of selecting this nightly snapshot with stack or is this a bug in the tool?
Cabal's file format has changed in the 2.0 release of it (likely because of backpack). You have to use Stack version >= 1.5.1 which bypasses this error. A proper fix for this will be likely released in the next version of Stack. IIRC, the fix is already in the master brach of the stack - so the upgrade via --source-only willl also work for you.
You can read the changelog here to know more information about it.
I'm trying to set up Hakyll on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 instance, but I can't seem to get the Stack-based setup instructions right.
Starting out with stack install hakyll, I get:
Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:
In the dependencies for hakyll-4.9.3.0:
http-conduit-2.1.11 must match >=2.2 && <2.3 (latest applicable is 2.2.3)
Plan construction failed.
I got a similar error when tying to stack-install http-conduit-2.1.11, this time with:
Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:
In the dependencies for http-conduit-2.2.3:
http-client-0.4.31.2 must match >=0.5 && <0.6 (latest applicable is 0.5.5)
http-client-tls-0.2.4.1 must match >=0.3 && <0.4 (latest applicable is 0.3.3.1)
Plan construction failed.
After resolving dependencies for this (also using Stack), I tried once again to stack install http-conduit-2.1.11, but I once again got the same dependency error.
The packages http-client-0.4.31.2 and http-client-tls-0.2.4.1 appear in my ~/.stack/precompiled/x86_64-linux/ghc-8.0.1/1.24.0.0/, which isn't explicitly in my $PATH, however that feels like an extremely hacky solution, and I haven't found any documentation recommending this approach.
How can I correctly install Hakyll on my machine?
Dependency management with stack is meant to be reproducible and declarative, that means that a stack project will only compile once all dependencies are recorded in the .cabal file(s) of the project and once the stack.yaml of the project defines versions for these dependencies either in the resolver or the extra-deps section.
Your confusion seems to stem from a misunderstanding of what stack install does. The command line help has this to say about it:
build Build the package(s) in this directory/configuration
install Shortcut for 'build --copy-bins'
...
--[no-]copy-bins Enable/disable copying binaries to the local-bin-path
(see 'stack path')
stack install does not save any dependencies.
So the proper way of making hakyll available as a dependency to your code is:
Create a proper stack project with stack init if you already have a Cabal package, or stack new if you don't.
Add hakyll to the library or executable build-depends in your .cabal file.
Attempt to stack build and follow the instructions in any error messages until all issues are resolved.
A simpler solution than #sjakobi's in this case was to specify a resolver as a command line option when starting a new Stack project:
stack install hakyll --resolver=5.11 --install-ghc
Is it possible to use stack with an already installed ghc without stack installing a local copy of ghc or cabal?
Yes. If the ghc in PATH is of right version for the selected snapshot, stack will happily use it.
% ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.8.4
% stack --resolver=lts-2.22 install packdeps
Run from outside a project, using implicit global project config
Using resolver: lts-2.22 specified on command line
packdeps-0.4.1: unregistering
packdeps-0.4.2: download
...
% stack --resolver=nightly-2015-12-25 install packdeps
Run from outside a project, using implicit global project config
Using resolver: nightly-2015-12-25 specified on command line
Compiler version mismatched, found ghc-7.8.4 (x86_64), but expected minor version match with ghc-7.10.3 (x86_64) (based on resolver setting in /Users/phadej/.stack/global/stack.yaml).
Try running "stack setup" to install the correct GHC into /Users/phadej/.stack/programs/x86_64-osx/
You can also skip ghc check --skip-ghc-check:
% stack --resolver=nightly-2015-12-25 --skip-ghc-check install packdeps
Run from outside a project, using implicit global project config
Using resolver: nightly-2015-12-25 specified on command line
split-0.2.2: configure
...
but that might be a bad idea
