问题
I'm trying to setup a new project using the nightly-2017-08-17 snapshot
stack new test --resolver nightly-2017-08-17
However this gives the following error:
Downloading template "new-template" to create project "test" in test/ ...
Looking for .cabal or package.yaml files to use to init the project.
Using cabal packages:
- test/test.cabal
Selected resolver: nightly-2017-08-17
Unable to parse cabal file: FromString "This package requires at least Cabal version 2.0" Nothing
Cabal is in its latest version:
stack setup --upgrade-cabal
Currently installed Cabal is 2.0.0.2, newest is 2.0.0.2. I'm not upgrading Cabal.
stack will use a sandboxed GHC it installed
For more information on paths, see 'stack path' and 'stack exec env'
To use this GHC and packages outside of a project, consider using:
stack ghc, stack ghci, stack runghc, or stack exec
Is this not the correct way of selecting this nightly snapshot with stack or is this a bug in the tool?
回答1:
Cabal's file format has changed in the 2.0 release of it (likely because of backpack). You have to use Stack version >= 1.5.1 which bypasses this error. A proper fix for this will be likely released in the next version of Stack. IIRC, the fix is already in the master brach of the stack - so the upgrade via --source-only willl also work for you.
You can read the changelog here to know more information about it.
