Could not find module ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’ (vscode + stack)

Hi, thanks for making this. It seems like the repl is not importing tidal: Could not find module ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’

I'm successfully getting sound through SuperCollider, shift+enter highlights commands (d1 $ sound "bd sn"), and the tidalcycles repl is showing activity.

I use stack and set the path within vscode settings, and tried a boot file:

"tidalcycles": {
        "ghciPath": "/Users/home/.stack/programs/x86_64-osx/ghc-8.0.2/bin/ghci",
        "tidalBootPath": "~/path/to/tidalcyclesBoot.hs"
        }

I also tried putting import Sound.Tidal.Context at the top of the test file, and calling it with shift+enter with not luck.

Any clue why Sound.Tidal.Context isn't being imported?

@janaipakos thanks for the info. Usually that error means that Tidal is not installed (e.g. cabal install tidal).

I'm confused about this:

I'm successfully getting sound through SuperCollider, shift+enter highlights commands (d1 $ sound "bd sn"), and the tidalcycles repl is showing activity.

So when you eval a Tidal pattern in the VS Code editor with shift+enter, SuperCollider plays the samples and plays your pattern? But you still see the error?

SuperCollider plays sound, but VS Code does not. When I eval a Tidal patten in VS Code editor, the snipped it 'highlighted' but there's no sound produced for the sample.

I ended up running an instance of VS Code through stack exec and it worked 🤷‍♂️

This is probably a stack quirk and not related to the plugin.

hi brothers, i have this problem in atom
when I open the packages Tidal, I see this text:

Choose ghcup default path: /Users/miguelchaparro/.ghcup/bin
Ghci command: /Users/miguelchaparro/.ghcup/bin/ghci
Ghc-pkg command: /Users/miguelchaparro/.ghcup/bin/ghc-pkg
Load BootTidal.hs from /Users/miguelchaparro/.atom/packages/tidalcycles/lib/BootTidal.hs
t>

: error:
Could not find module ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’
It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.

How can i do good?

best regards!

Could not find module 'Sound.Tidal.Context' usually means that you do not have Tidal installed.
