Best way to handle multiple packages?
malte-v opened this issue · 4 comments
My VSCode workspace contains three subfolders, each of them is a Haskell package. Is there some way I can configure this to create three GHCi sessions, one for each package, so I can work on them in parallel? Thanks!
This extension can't handle more than one GHCI session. Usually, when I have to deal with multiple packages I open multiple vscode windows
This feature is considered and will be included in an overhaul of the GHCi session system. However I have other things to do so I don't know when it will be done. Meanwhile although far from ideal you can work in multiple windows as @mustafahafidi said.
@mustafahafidi Thanks for helping with issues.
Sorry for the extremely delayed response. I've recently started working on supporting multi-component/multi-package projects, which would hopefully fix this issue.
If you haven't abandoned vscode-ghc-simple, please consider testing out development versions of the vgs-bios branch. See more information in the discussion here: #87.
In short, you will need to install a development version of the vgs-bios branch and set up an hie.yaml file, with the same format as the one accepted by hie-bios to tell vscode-ghc-simple about your project structure. If you need help or find any problems please do consider reaching out.
Not everything is well-supported yet, but hopefully simple multi-component or multi-package setups will work. The same file should also help out those who use ghcide. Many projects already have an hie.yaml file, so these will hopefully work out of the box. See the discussion page linked above for details for more information.
Thanks for considering helping out!
