<div dir="ltr">Having spent a lot of time doing just this today, you can use this incantation:<div><br></div><div> stack init --resolver ghc-8.0.1 --force</div><div><br></div><div>Run that from your project's directory. If you have upper bounds, it will complain about them. Once you relax them, it will generate an appropriate stack.yaml (overwriting any existing stack.yaml), at which point you can `stack test`.</div><div><br></div><div>I've had a lot of success building packages today, it looks like people upgraded preemptively to GHC 8 this time :)</div>
