Re: How to test master after breaking changes

[Ömer Sinan Ağacan]

Hi Artem,

I think currently the best you could do is to clone primitive's git repo
locally and install it from there, using `cd primitive; cabal install
--with-ghc=...`.

Note that you can run the test suite without these dependencies. The driver
skips the test if a dependency is not found. See also #15137.

(I wonder what CI is doing about this, I'm guessing it doesn't install
dependencies so some of the tests are not run on CI)

How to test master after breaking changes

[Artem Pelenitsyn]

Hello devs,

Wiki page on testing says that in order to run all tests you have to
install additional packages:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningTests/Running#AdditionalPackages

and kindly provides a command to do this:

cabal install --with-compiler=`pwd`/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2
--package-db=`pwd`/inplace/lib/package.conf.d mtl parallel parsec primitive
QuickCheck random regex-compat syb stm utf8-string vector

After the af9b744bb

one of the packages, primitive, does not build anymore. At least, its last
released version on Hackage. I see that the problem has been fixed on
primitive's master (a2af610
).
But what should I do to actually test master branch of GHC now?

Best wishes,
Artem
