问题
I'm getting an error that says the module doesn't exist when I try to runhaskell. It's odd because I try to install it first and says its up to date. Any idea how to fix this?
回答1:
You could try creating the package environment in the local directory that holds your project, like this:
c:\Users\...\ex1haskell> cabal install --lib --package-env . QuickCheck
This should create a file of the form .ghc.environment.xxx in ex1haskell, which hopefully should be picked up by runhaskell/ghci/ghc invocations.
In ghci sessions, a sign that the environment is being picked up is the following message while starting:
Loaded package environment from ...
When the --package-env location is not given explicitly, a default location is used. According to the docs:
By default, it is writing to the global environment in ~/.ghc/$ARCH-$OS-$GHCVER/environments/default. v2-install provides the --package-env flag to control which of these environments is modified.
But it seems that runhaskell is having problems to find the environment file in that default location.
Note. When creating a package environment, it's possible to specify multiple packages simultaneously, like this:
cabal install --lib --package-env . QuickCheck random aeson transformers
Also, package environments are just text files, so local environments can be deleted and recreated at will. The actual package binaries reside elsewhere and can potentially be reused by cabal.

A Common Environment
It is hard to debug if/when the actual tooling differs so let's first get a unified setup. I'll use docker to get GHC 8 and Cabal 3.x:
docker run --rm -it haskell bash
Understand that this isn't arbitrary or even preemptive. What you have shown - cabal install --lib ... and runhaskell ... does work for sane tool installations. You might have a bad installation or an old version of a tool that has different behavior.
Running a single file with runhaskell
Now we need a project:
root@8a934c302dba:/# mkdir Ex1
root@8a934c302dba:/# cd Ex1
root@8a934c302dba:/Ex1# cat <<EOF >Main.hs
> import Test.QuickCheck
>
> main :: IO ()
> main = print =<< (generate arbitrary :: IO Int)
> EOF
And test failure:
root@8a934c302dba:/Ex1# runhaskell Main.hs
Main.hs:1:1: error:
Could not find module `Test.QuickCheck'
Use -v (or `:set -v` in ghci) to see a list of the files searched for.

1 | import Test.QuickCheck
And install the library:
root@8a934c302dba:/Ex1# cabal update && cabal install --lib QuickCheck
And successful run:
root@8a934c302dba:/Ex1# runhaskell Main.hs
15
So my comment above was wrong - we don't need to explicitly list the package as it is already exposed after installation.
