Description

I am running nix-shell on

with import <nixpkgs> { config.allowUnfree = true; config.allowBroken = true; };

haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.accelerate pkgs.accelerate-llvm pkgs.accelerate-llvm-native pkgs.accelerate-fft])

and get

Expected behaviour

I expect the tests to succeed.

Current behaviour

The tests fail.

Possible solution (optional)

At the moment I have no idea.

Steps to reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create a shell.nix file as above
2. nix-shell

Your environment

• Accelerate version: accelerate-llvm-native-1.2.0.1
• Accelerate backend(s) used: None as it won't build
• GHC version: 8.6.5
• Operating system and version:
• Link to your project/example:
• If this is a bug with the GPU backend, include the output of nvidia-device-query:

[sundials@CUDA:~/accelerate]$ uname -a
Linux CUDA 4.19.69 #1-NixOS SMP Thu Aug 29 06:29:00 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[sundials@CUDA:~/chebApprox]$ nix-shell -p ghc

[nix-shell:~/chebApprox]$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.6.5

I'm guessing allowing broken isn't a good idea since

error: Package ‘accelerate-llvm-native-1.2.0.1’ in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix:21594 is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate.

accelerate.log

[tmcdonell]

I guess it is failing trying to create the folder $HOME/.accelerate/; see if you can create that manually? Then try running a computation manually (anything in ghci should do); it might give you more information (it looks like hedgehog is eating the error message)

[tmcdonell]

You could also try running with HEAD: I want to make a release soon so it would be good to know if that works, or otherwise fix it.

[idontgetoutmuch]

@tmcdonell I'll see what I can do - my nix skills are still quite primitive

[idontgetoutmuch]

I am trying this first

  myHaskellPackages = haskellPackages.override {
    overrides = self: super: with pkgs.haskell.lib; {
      accelerate-llvm-native = dontCheck super.accelerate-llvm-native;
      accelerate-llvm-ptx    = dontCheck super.accelerate-llvm-ptx;
      accelerate-fft  	     = dontCheck super.accelerate-fft;
    };
  };

[trevortknguyen]

I tried what @idontgetoutmuch suggested with ignoring the test suites while building with Nix and everything worked out, so I think the issue has to do with the test-suite building in Nix.

According to this issue NixOS/nixpkgs#16144 the failure could be caused by calling cabal build.

[tmcdonell]

@trevortknguyen Ah, thanks! I think this can be closed then.
