Haskell - ghcup not installing correctly

[PiotrJustyna]

Having problems using the Haskell community devcontainer. During the initial image build I'm getting the following error:

 > [dev_container_auto_added_stage_label 5/5] RUN ghcup install ghc "recommended" --set     && ghcup install cabal recommended --set     && ghcup install stack recommended --set     && ghcup install hls recommended --set     && cabal update:

This command seems to be failing:

RUN ghcup install ghc "${GHC_VERSION}" --set \
    && ghcup install cabal recommended --set \
    && ghcup install stack recommended --set \
    && ghcup install hls recommended --set \
    && cabal update

Where "${GHC_VERSION}" is "recommended". I tried experimenting with:

• removing the variable altogether
• replacing it with a concrete version gf ghc (e.g. 9)

but getting errors in all scenarios.

• VSCode Version: 1.73.1
• Local OS Version: macOS 12.6.1
• Local chip architecture: Apple Silicon
• Reproduces in: Remote - Containers (only tried remote containers)
• Name of Dev Container Definition with Issue: Haskell

Steps to Reproduce:

1. open an empty directory in vscode
2. cmd+shift+p -> add dev container configuration files -> Haskell community -> recommended -> Install ZSH -> no additional packages -> ok

[PiotrJustyna]

Hm, ok, having tried the command after a while, I am now getting a different, much more descriptive error:

One quick and dirty fix I tried was to simply add a -k flag to the Dockerfile's curl: curl -kLJ "https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghcup/x86_64-linux-ghcup" -o "$HOME/.ghcup/bin/ghcup"

So now it looks to me that ghcup is also attempting to curl something and is failing for the same reason. Now the challenge will be to understand if we can mitigate the curl problem ghcup is having... Will keep digging.

Hey @PiotrJustyna, I had a similar issue on my M1 mac, with "Both installation and setting the tool failed. Install error was: Process "gmake"". Below is some more log output:

The fix that worked for me was basically #1654, where we run the official ghcup installation. I think the error might have been pulling the x86_64 architecture build in "https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghcup/x86_64-linux-ghcup", which would conflict with our m1 arm architecture.

• VSCode Version: 1.74.0
• Local OS Version: macOS 13.0.1
• Local chip architecture: Apple Silicon (M1)

Thanks @joshuanianji, tried that with good results and would be happy to use that instead of the community script where all components are installed individually (ghc, cabal, hls, stack). Glad the issue is open.

In the meantime, I think it would be worth discussing whether the current shape of the Haskell devcontainer makes sense these days... We have the ability to install/skip zsh but not to choose the ghcup version.

What I ended up doing is I wrote my own devcontainer based on alpine where I only install:

• ghc
• cabal
• stack (from the testing repository)

Don't really need hls. That is good enough for me for the time being, but the state of Haskell in devcontainers community does need a bit of tlc...

[joshuanianji]

Hey @PiotrJustyna, glad it's working for you. I agree that the image would benefit from some more attention, although I think installing the latest ghcup version makes sense for most people since it's only an intermediary for installing other tools.

Nonetheless, I'm not involved in this community too much, so I'll stick with that's working for me lol.

[PiotrJustyna]

@joshuanianji I think we have the new image :) It should work for more people now. See my PR.

[joshuanianji]

Hey @PiotrJustyna, great to see your PR! Hope to have it merged soon

[vincenteof]

I am curious as to why @PiotrJustyna's Pull Request has not been merged yet. The official version does not function properly on my M2 Mac, while his version does. I believe all arm64 Mac users would greatly benefit from it.

Tried a Dockerfile by @joshuanianji, but failed with the similar error. From the logs I found that g++ is not installed. Fixed it by intalling build-essential package.
