What is a good way to debug haskell code?

Question

I have used the ghci debugger but would really prefer if it was somewhat integrated with a text editor to simplify the process of setting breakpoints. It should probably not str

Yes, a frontend for the GHCi debugger would be a good thing. Maybe we'll get something done during the next Hackathon. However, in the mean time:

• The Monad Reader, Issue 10 (PDF) has an article on using the debugger. Maybe that can give you a few more hints.

Alternatively, Haskell lends itself nicely to bottom-up testing using QuickCheck. I.e., test your components individually, then put them together. If your code is pure this often Just Works.
