Re: [Haskell-cafe] GHCI Feature Request: Last Successful Compilation State Saved
Chris, this is amazing! One question - do you have support for tramping in and running ghci remotely (or would that be easy to add)? I primarily develop inside virtual-machines, so while the source code lives where emacs lives, all the libraries are installed inside the virtual-machine (and the source also lives there, of course).

So either 1) You put all your source files on the server, too and then run the GHCi process under tramp and access the files via tramp. 2) Sounds like you'd prefer to keep your files local, which, I suppose means you want to send code to the server when you trigger a compile?

Could be done, could be done. I'll ponder it. Actually, 1. is what happens, which seems like the easier thing. The folder does exist locally (ie, on the host), but it is shared with the virtualmachine, so it can be edited in either place. The sharing is either done through a a special mechanism provided by the virtualmachine (ie, in virtualbox, shared folders), or with plain old NFS (the latter is faster, for unknown reasons). My normal workflow is to have an editor open that edits the files on the host. Then with a ssh connection to the client (the virtualmachine), I build and/or run ghci through that. I'm not sure if this is how other people do work with virtualmachines, but I would imagine it was relatively common. I'd be pretty excited about that working. As an added benefit, the same strategy could be used to jump into a project on an actually remote host. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

[Haskell-cafe] GHCI Feature Request: Last Successful Compilation State Saved
Hi all, I would like for the GHCI interpreter to save its environment before reloading a file and allowed the user to revert back to that state if the compilation was unsuccessful. Many times I've changed files, loaded them, hit a compilation error and needed, for example, the inferred type signature of some function. Even though that function hasn't been changed I have to either fix my code, undo a bunch of changes or comment out the last change I made and reload in order to do a :type on the function. This really breaks the flow of development. Thanks for considering. -deech ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
