[web-devel] Yesod devel server and cabal-dev

[Greg Weber]

The devel server uses hint. A while ago I had it working with cabal-dev, but
it stopped working for me lately. I have the following code that properly
sets the environment:

forkExecSh :: String -> IO ProcessID
forkExecSh command = forkProcess $ runIt >> return ()
  where
    runIt = executeFile "/bin/sh" True ("-c":[command]) cabal_dev
    cabal_dev = Just [
        ("GHC_PACKAGE_PATH","./cabal-dev/packages-7.0.2.conf/:")
      , ("PATH", "./cabal-dev/bin")
      ]

forkExecSh "wai-handler-devel 8000 Controller withApp"

I am probably going to break down soon and do something to fix the state of
development interpretation. Let me know if you are interested in working on
this.
The development server doesn't scale right now because it seems to trigger a
full reload of the application. But the hint API allows for re-loading
specific files. The hint API also has a field searchPath that might be
useful. The other thought is to try out plugins-direct or plugins.
