ghcjs could not be determined

[dmjio]

It seems the planets have aligned against me in my quest for using ghci/ghcjsi with reflex-dom.

Ever seen this before?

    Configuring ghcjs-dom-0.2.2.0...
    setup-Simple-Cabal-1.22.4.0-ghcjs-0.2.0.20151001_ghc-7.10.2: The program
    'ghcjs' version >=0.1 is required but the version of
    /Users/dmj/.stack/programs/x86_64-osx/ghcjs-0.2.0.20151001_ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghcjs
    could not be determined.

Rerun it....a lot.

Or, downgrade node to 5.0 or below.

This is more pertinent: commercialhaskell/stack#1496

Here's an example of a working GHCJS build with reflex-dom and stack. YMMV: https://github.com/3noch/reflex-dom-xhr-delay

[dmjio]

Definitely don't mind downgrading node. Does https://github.com/3noch/reflex-dom-xhr-delay work on the ghcjsi branch per chance?

[3noch]

I haven't tried it; sorry!

[3noch]

You'd need to get an sdist of that branch somehow.

[dmjio]

Re-ran it a lot, officially stuck on kan-extensions, "cannot find ghcjs" occurs every time on it, bleh. Downgrading node. Stay tuned folks.

@3noch, @luigy, finally got it installed. But now the browser won't connect. Do I need to host the generated js? Or does ghcjsi do that for me when I call main from ghcjsi?

[3noch]

I wish I could help you here, but I've never tried this before. It doesn't make sense that you'd need to host the JS...if GHCJS is changing it... :/

[dmjio]

@3noch seems like socket-io version 10 has issues. I tried to downgrade but now getting npm issues. Why are we using node-js for this again? =)

[3noch]

😩

[dmjio]

@3noch, got it working now, @luigy had the magic formula, npm i socket.io@1.3.7.
