HIE Integration

[mpscholten]

Would be cool to have zero-setup support for Haskell Ide Engine out of the box

Does this issue imply/also include Haskell Language Server? HLS is the converging point in terms of IDE experience, I think it would be best, what do you think?

[mpscholten]

Yes :) the issues is a bit misnamed. The referenced PR is actually using HLS. We first tried HIE, but then changed the PR to work with HLS instead.

Awesome, thank you @mpscholten !

Was working on integrating hls with vim for IHP projects today. I think this issue 614 might be a fix for the template haskell issue raised here. I tried building hls with the fix-more-th branch of ghcide but kept ran in to a bit of trouble compiling. However as soon as that patch makes it into the master branch of ghcide I think that will resolve this issue with HLS/IHP. So maybe one to watch?

[mpscholten]

Thanks for pointing out. Just subscribed to that PR :) Once it's merged we can continue the integration

[mpscholten]

It looks like the fix for this just got merged via haskell/ghcide#741 :) This means we can continue the work on this now 👍

Please be aware, that https://github.com/digital-asset/ghcide/issues/614 is still open. Because there still are issues with TH sometimes. I am not aware of what issue exactly you are having, so I don‘t know if the merged fix helps you or not.

[mpscholten]

Thanks for letting us know 👍 I think our issue is mostly related to symbols need to be exported because they occur in a TH splice.. Will try out to build the fixed version tomorrow, maybe we're lucky and everything is working already :)
