GHCI Error in Atom GUI + Terminal opening with node error when starting haskell-debug

[tschacht]

Hi,

I'm trying to debug this Haskell application: https://github.com/neo4j-examples/neo4j-movies-haskell-bolt

and get the following error in Atom GUI:

GHCI Error
Configuring GHCi with the following packages: hasbolt-sample-app
Using main module: 1. Package `hasbolt-sample-app' component exe:hasbolt-sample-app-exe with main-is file: /Users/ts/work/haskell/neo4j-movies-haskell-bolt/app/Main.hs

also a Terminal opens up with this content:

node /Users/ts/.atom/packages/haskell-debug/lib/TerminalEcho.js
ts@petunia ~ 0% node /Users/ts/.atom/packages/haskell-debug/lib/TerminalEcho.js
/Users/ts/.atom/packages/haskell-debug/lib/TerminalEcho.js:3

I have no idea whats wrong here. Any hints?

Thanks,
BR

I'm using Atom 1.19.2 x64 on OSX 10.12.6 with haskell-debug 0.3.2 and have all other "atom-haskell" packages installed with current versions.

Also this error seems to be specific to this Haskell application as I can use haskell-debug with other applications without problems.

You can ignore "GHCI Error", it's just something stack spits out on stderr when running stack repl. Node error in terminal is my fault. Terribly sorry about that, working on a fix right now.

Just released v0.3.3, which should fix node error (at least limited testing I did shows that it should). Please let me know if it works for you.

The node error is gone and I see a working GHCI terminal. :-) Thanks for the quick fix. 👍🏼
