Multiple Components HLS doesn't recompile on *.cabal change

[konn]

Summary

When Multiple Component Support enabled, HLS won't update the state even when any *.cabal file update.

Your environment

Which OS do you use? macOS

Which version of GHC do you use and how did you install it? GHC 9.4.8

How is your project built (alternative: link to the project)? Cabal 3.11.0.0 prerelease (installed by ghcup --no-cache install cabal -u 'https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/cabal/-/jobs/1848320/artifacts/raw/out/cabal-install-3.11.0.0-x86_64-linux-alpine3_12.tar.xz' 3.12.0.0-prerelease )

Which LSP client (editor/plugin) do you use? VSCode

Which version of HLS do you use and how did you install it? HLS 2.8.0.0, installed via ghcup

Have you configured HLS in any way (especially: a hie.yaml file)? No hie.yaml

Steps to reproduce

1. Install cabal 3.12.0.0 prerelease. For example:

   ghcup --no-cache install cabal -u 'https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/cabal/-/jobs/1848320/artifacts/raw/out/cabal-install-3.11.0.0-x86_64-linux-alpine3_12.tar.xz' 3.12.0.0-prerelease --no-set

2. Clone konn/hls-cabal-monorepo-multihome-recomp-repro

   git clone https://github.com/konn/hls-cabal-monorepo-multihome-recomp-repro.git

3. Make sure LSP client uses HLS 2.8 and Cabal 3.11.0.0. You don't have to any configuration if you are using VSCode, as it contains the necessary configuration file.

4. Open package-a/src/MyLibA.hs and package-b/src/MyLibB.hs and wait for HLS to warmup.

5. After HLS has been successfully launched, add package-a as the build-depends of package-b, remove someFunc from MyLibB.hs and import MyLibA instead.

Expected behaviour

HLS should reconfigure package-b so that MyLibA can be imported in MyLibB without any hassle.

Actual behaviour

HLS seems to make no recompilation/state update, and complaining MyLibA not found.

Could not find module ‘MyLibA’
It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package

Side note

• In this case, we added a local package. The same bug occurs if one adds some other (boot or external) packages.
• If one changes sessionLoading to singleComponent, then HLS updates/recompiles when *.cabal changes.

Hi!

I don't think this bug is related to the multi-component support per se, it is rather that the reload logic is only triggered in certain scenarios. For example, I think it is triggered when you open a new component. Perhaps someone finds the motivation to work on this during ZuriHac.

Do we have a better issue describing the problem? I'm pretty sure we do reload when you change the cabal file and you're working on a single component...

[fendor]

Not right now, I don't quite understand why it doesn't always reload correctly... Perhaps I can diagnose it over the weekend.
