Thanks for the quick reply - I'll make an attempt to get ghc-mod to be
compatible with this.

However since starting to use cabal sandboxes, the generated code ends up in
a directory like this:
dist/dist-sandbox-c4c8b1d4/build/autogen/
What is this hashcode for? Is it always generated when using a sandbox? If I
have code (like ghc-mod) that needs to access the
build directory, how do I work out the value of the hashcode?
So that you can use the same add-source dependency with several
different sandboxes and also build it standalone. See discussion in
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1281
As to how generate the hash code yourself, the relevant part of the
source code is
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/cabal-install/Distribution/Client/Sandbox.hs#L129
That function takes the absolute path to the current sandbox
('/path/to/.cabal-sandbox') as input.
