So, what I have is

   bitonic at clay ~/src/kant (git)-[master] % cat .ghci
   :set -isrc

And I still get the mentioned error.  Did you take any other measures to make
things work?  I’m using ghc-mod version 1.11.3.

OK, now I understand what you are doing: instead of making ghc-mod rely on
cabal, you simply make it load the files directly.  Which is a bit annoying in
my case because I have some files that need to be preprocessed (alex/happy), but
it would still be better than nothing.  I can achieve the same result by simply
moving the ‘cabal’ file, or by deleting the target.  I guess that the ‘.ghci’
has (or should have) the same effect.
