Project Modules

There are no modules declared in this project.

gradle-haskell-plugin

Haskell plugin for Gradle

Usage

Put your source code to src/main/haskell, the test code to src/test/haskell and the cabal file to the project's root. Don't forget to set the source directory in the cabal file too:

hs-source-dirs:      src/main/haskell

For the default operation all you have to do is apply the plugin:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.prezi.haskell:gradle-haskell-plugin:0.4+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'haskell'

Dependencies, artifacts

Haskell projects creates zipped sandboxes as artifacts, and handles dependencies by chaining the dependent sandboxes for each GHC/cabal/stack command. All the dependencies put into the configuration called main must be haskell dependencies.

The following example shows both an external dependency and a project dependency, both pointing to an artifact produced by the this plugin.

dependencies {
    main group: "something", name: "lib1", version: "1.+", configuration: 'main'
    main project(path: ":lib2", configuration: "main")
}

Additional options

It is possible to change the source set used to determine the up-to-date status of the compilation task. See the following example:

haskell {
    sources {
        main {
            haskell {
                source.srcDir "TODO"
            }
        }
    }
}

NOTE This only affects gradle's up-to-date checks. You still have to add the source directories to your cabal file too.

Stack support

The plugin now only works through stack.

In this case all you need is a working stack executable, everything else is handled by the plugin and stack.

There are a few additional options available in stack mode:

Compiler and snapshot versions

To change the GHC version or the stackage snapshot to be used, use:

haskell {
    ghcVersion = "ghc-7.10.2"
    snapshotId = "lts-3.19"
}

Package flags

It is possible to customize the cabal flags of dependencies installed by stack, with the following syntax:

haskell {
	packageFlags["text"] = ["integer-simple": "false"]
}

Profiling

Profiling is disabled by default. To turn it on, change the profiling property of the haskell extension:

haskell {
    profiling = true
}

or use the -Pghc-enable-profiling command line argument.

GHC and cabal location

It is possible to specify a cabal config file which can point to a non-default global package database, etc:

haskell {
  cabalConfigFile = "~/custom/cabal.cfg"
}

or -Pcabal-config-file=~/custom/cabal.cfg.

To manage which cabal, ghc etc. is executed by the plugin, you can override the PATH and other environment variables with the following syntax:

haskell {
  envConfigurer { Map<String, Object> envMap ->
    def path = envMap.get("PATH")
                
    envMap.put("PATH", [
        "/custom-ghc-path/bin",
        "/custom-cabal-path/bin",
        path
      ].join(":"))
  }
}

Explanation (stack mode)

The stack mode uses the extra-package-dbs option of stack which was introduced to support this plugin. The idea is that gradle generates the stack.yaml based on the existing .cabal file and the gradle project, and this way it can set up the stack project to use the dependent gradle projects as binary artifacts.

The generated stack projects have the following properties:

• They use a compiler-only resolver (for example ghc-7.10.2)
• All other dependencies are listed in the extra-deps section
• The gradle-level dependencies are listed in as extra-package-dbs

This way the stack project's local package database can be archived as a binary artifact.

To not loose the stackage snapshots, the plugin also uses another tool called snapshot-versions, which generates the extra-deps section of the stack project by enumerating all the dependencies from the .cabal file and reading the snapshot version number from the configured stackage snapshot.

To use a package that is not part of the configured stackage snapshot, but otherwise available from hackage, you have to specify it's exact version number in the .cabal file, like:

Crypto ==4.2.5.1

For the dependencies that are part of the snapshot, the .cabal file should not put any constraints on.

Details

Applying the plugin adds the following to the project:

Fields

• ghcSandbox is the project's internal sandbox model, used by the plugin
• ghcSandboxRoot is the root path of the project's sandbox
• ghcPackageDb is the package database inside the project's sandbox
• ghcPrefix is the directory where cabal installs the project in its sandbox
• haskellTools is a helper object used internally by the plugin

Configurations

• main is used to set up the sandbox chain from the dependencies and it also defines the project's sandbox as its artifact
• test extends main but has no special role currently (because cabal configures the project with its tests in one phase)

Tasks

• sandboxInfo prints some basic information about the project's sandbox
• sandboxPackages prints the package list of the project's and its dependent sandboxes
• compileMain and compileTest all refers to the same task, compiling the whole cabal project
• assemble assembles all the files of the project; by default this means running compileMain and generating the ghc-mod cradle
• clean deletes the build and dist directories
• test compiles the cabal package with tests enabled, and runs them
• check executes test. It is an extension point to execute other kind of tests.
• build executes assemble and check
• zipSandbox packs the whole sandbox as the artifact of the main configuration of the project
• freeze executes cabal freeze
• repl executes cabal repl

Additional tasks supporting the ones above:

• sandboxDirectories creates the sandbox directory structure
• sandbox initializes the package database in the project's sandbox
• copySandFix extracts the bunled SandFix from the plugin
• configureSandboxes sets up extractDependentSandboxes and fixDependentSandboxes tasks after the dependency resolution is done
• extractDependentSandboxes extracts the resolved artifacts to temporary directories inside build/deps
• fixDependentSandboxes clones the extracted sandboxes and runs SandFix on them
