0.15 2022-07-22

Highlights

Support for Bazel version 5.x (see #1781)

Added

add use_stack() to override stack from anywhere (see #1705)
Add GHC 9.0.2 bindist (see #1672)

Changed

By default, the stack_snapshot rule now relies on stack to determine toolchain libraries. This can be a breaking change on windows if we rely on a stack snapshot containing Win32 <= 2.13.2.0, as we encounter this issue. In this case, to ensure the toolchain Win32 library is used (instead of trying to compile a new one), it can be droped from a custom stack snapshot as in the ./stackage_snapshot.yaml file.

Handling of toolchain libraries in stack_snapshot (see #1685)
Expose object files of transitive dependencies when using TH (see #1680)
Expose dependencies of cross-library dependencies in the inputs of the build action of haskell_module (see #1678)

Fixed

HaskellC2Hs fails with clang: error: no input files (see #1778)

Highlights

Moved to exclusive support of Bazel 4
Support for GHC 8.8, 8.10, 9.0 and 9.2
Asterius support (experimental)
Cross-compilation support
haskell_module rule (experimental)

Added

Support for Bazel 4.1.0 and 4.2.1
Support for GHC 8.8.4, 8.10.3, 8.10.4, 8.10.7, 9.0.1 and 9.2.1.
Blacklisted empty ghc-byteorder package.
More reproducible GHC bindist on macOS. See #1462.
Track GHC's lib/settings as an action input by exposing a files attribute in the haskell_toolchain rule, which is used in downstream actions. See #1478.
Added ghc-bignum to the list of core packages (since GHC 9.0.1).
Provided a Bazel-compatible version of ghc-paths. See #1508.
Allow different repository names when registering Haskell toolchains for cross-compiling.
Added hsc2hs into the inputs of cabal_wrapper so it can be found when cross-compiling.
Support for platform constraints for GHCs in Nixpkgs.
Added hie_bios_path_prefix to the haskell_repl rule to allow hie-bios to output paths relative to a directory besides the workspace root.
Experimental haskell_module rule, with profiling, hs-boot, plugin, preprocessor, package database, dynamic build and Template Haskell support. See #1553.
Support for Cabal sublibraries, using the sublibrary_name attribute of the haskell_cabal_library rule.
Added generates_path_module attribute to haskell_cabal_library, such that its data files are accessible to haskell_binary rules. See #1575.
Added non_default_plugins attribute to haskell_library and haskell_binary rules to avoid setting -fplugin for every module.
Support for using Template Haskell and FFI with static C dependencies. See #1582.
Support for Asterius. See #1614, #1618, #1619, #1621, #1643 and #1660.
Support for sublibraries in the stack_snapshot rule. #1638.
Support for the --incompatible_override_toolchain_transition flag.

Removed

Support for Bazel pre-4.0.0

Changed

Source file names are explicitly mapped to module names and corresponding object and interface files in Starlark. The main module is determined heuristically, but can be overridden with the main_file attribute. See #1281.
stack unpack now uses versioned packages. See #1455.
cabal_wrapper now takes its arguments as JSON.
Use GitHub API token in stack_snapshot pinning, if available, to avoid rate limiting. See #1494.
Invoke a runghc for the execution platform in cabal_wrapper.
compiler_flags options have been renamed to ghcopts in macros and rules, for consistency. The old name will still work, but has been deprecated.
Automatic visibility of stack_snapshot dependencies to vendored packages. See #1583.
All REPL targets are tagged as manual, so are only built on-demand.
Use a more deterministic distdir path in haskell_cabal_* rules to improve reproducibility. See #1648.

Fixed

stack_snapshot pinning with archives containing Cabal files located deeper down the tree.
A regression whereby dynamically linked binaries were missing their libraries in the runfiles.
Compatibility issue with macOS Big Sur. See #1442.

[0.13.0] 2020-09-20

Added

Support for GHC 8.10.
Support for building fully-static binaries. These binaries have fewer dependencies and are more portable across systems.
Support Cabal setup script dependencies. See #1347.
Support ghcide.
Support building Stackage binaries in stack_snapshot, not just libraries. See #1304.
Better compatibility with --remote_download_minimal.
Support Stack snapshot pinning. In the common case, users don't even need to run Stack to resolve a snapshot to a set of package tarballs. The tarballs can be cached in the Bazel repository cache. See #1376.

Changed

The platform name for Nix users has changed. The platforms in @//haskell/platforms/... are still supported, but are deprecated. Use @io_tweag_rules_nixpkgs//nixpkgs/platforms:host instead.
Avoid unnecessary recompilation on Windows. See #1280.
Use Stack >= 2.3.1 in the implementation of stack_snapshot. This enables better sdist caching, better performance, and makes bazel fetch more effective.
More aggressive shortening of library names to avoid exceeding MACH-O header size limits on macOS.
Make variables are now expanded in compiler and REPL flags. See #1381.

Fixed

Linking shared libraries and binaries on Linux distributions that have PIE enabled by default, like Ubuntu from at least 18.04 onwards. See #1388.

[0.12.0] - 2020-03-16

Highlights

Various improvements to Windows support.
Support for Bazel 2.0.0
Minimum supported Bazel version is now 0.29, but GHC bindist is known to fail on macOS with Bazel 0.29. Please use a more recent version for macOS.

Added

haskell_repl now has a hie_bios output group See #1263
Added support for hrepl (a standalone binary that runs REPLS for Bazel Haskell targets). See #1210.
haskell_cabal_library, haskell_cabal_binary, and stack_snapshot now have a verbose argument, to allow suppressing their output. See #1208.
haskell_cabal_library and stack_snapshot now build the Haddock documentation if the parameter haddock is set to True (the default). See #1102 and #1200.
Added support for GHC bindist versions 8.8.3, 8.8.2, and 8.8.1.
Windows: support for cabal See #1133.
rules_haskell now depends on rules_sh, a toolchain for common shell commands. See #1117, #1143, and #1136 for motivation. See #1096 for the issue that triggered this train of thought.

Removed

hazel has been deleted, please use stack_snapshot instead. See #1158.

Changed

The haskell_register_toolchains() is no longer defined in haskell/repositories.bzl, load it from haskell/toolchain.bzl instead.
cabal wrapper: specify python3 as a requirement, to enhance error messages on macOS and reduce cache invalidations. See #1251, #1097, and #1096.
ghc_bindist and haskell_register_ghc_bindists now have a locale argument. Set it to circumvent issues on systems without the default C.UTF-8 locale. See #1249.
macOS: BAZEL_USE_CPP_ONLY_TOOLCHAIN = 1 must be set for Bazel to pick the correct C compiler. See #1159.
stack_snapshot: warning of stackage dependencies are not shown anymore, as they are irrelevant. See #1146 and #1026.
Sorted the content of generated manifest files, hereby avoid some spurious rebuilds (more builds caching). See #1128 and #1126.
Windows: possible race condition on stack update is now avoided, by calling stack update only once. See #1199 and #1090.

Fixed

haskell_cabal_library and haskell_library now set relative RUNPATH entries. See #1267
Fixed that GHC bindist could contain absolute RUNPATH to rts See #1131.
Documentations of rules haskelly_library, haskell_binary, and haskell_test now show the documentation of attributes. See #1122.

[0.11.0] - 2019-10-10

Highlights

Various improvements to cabal_binary/library and stack_snapshot.
Initial experimental Windows support for cabal_binary/library and stack_snapshot.
start script for setting up rules_haskell allows to set up a nixpkgs-based bazel workspace, for NixOS users, via the --use-nix option.

Added

Windows-support for cabal/stack. See #1074.
stack_snapshot: vendored_packages attribute for manually overriding packages in a stack snapshot. There is an example in ./examples/WORKSPACE. See #1060.

Removed

The haskell/haskell.bzl entrypoint, which was deprecated in the previous release, was removed. Please use haskell/defs.bzl instead.

Changed

The deps attribute to stack_snapshot has been replaced by the extra_deps attribute. It no longer takes a list of dependencies to be added to all packages, but instead a dictionary specifying additional dependencies to select packages. See stack_snapshot API docs for an example. See #1068.

Fixed

Unified the cc_wrapper on all OSes.
- Consistently shortens paths of library dependencies to work around size limits on Windows and macOS
- fixes .so/.dylib ending confusing on macOS
- improves the REPL on macOS See #1039.
cabal_binary/library targets don’t name-clash anymore
haskell_cabal_library no longer builds exe components, speeding up builds. See #1095.
Haddock information for protobuf rules generates correctly. See #1108.

[0.10.0] - 2019-09-03

Highlights

The minimum supported Bazel version is now 0.27.

rules_haskell supports Bazel up to 0.28. 0.27 is a LTS release, which means upstream guarantees all new releases are backwards-compatible to it for 3 months. See the Bazel Stability blog post for more information.
The repository name has changed, to follow the new Bazel rule guidelines. It was previously called @io_tweag_rules_haskell. It is now called @rules_haskell. You should adapt your WORKSPACE file to match this, as well as your .bazelrc.local file, if any.
haskell_cabal_library/haskell_cabal_binary: Both use cabal to build Haskell package dependencies.
stack_snapshot: Uses stack’s dependency resolving algorithm to generate haskell_cabal_library targets automatically. Requires stack > 2.1, which it will download if cannot be found in PATH.
It is now possible to statically link Haskell libraries in CC binaries.
A new example has been added.

cat_hs: is an example of a non-trivial application with multiple third-party dependencies downloaded from Hackage, C library dependencies and split up into multiple libraries and a binary. We use a rule wrapping Cabal to build the Hackage dependencies. This example requires Nix installed. It is used to build (or download from a binary cache) the C library dependencies.
Improved coverage reports.
Haddock links to prebuilt libraries.
Various improvements to reduce header size limits and command line argument length, in order to better support macOS and Windows.

Added

haskell_cabal_library/haskell_cabal_binary. See #879, #898 and #904.
stack_snapshot. See #887 (name changed to stack_snapshot after this PR). See also #1011.
tools arguments for stack and cabal rules. See #907. They can be arbitrary tools, see #987.
tools attribute to core haskell_* rules. This attribute can be used to expose GHC preprocessors. See #911.
Static GHC RTS can be specified in the toolchain. See #970.
runfiles library: manifest file support (for Windows). See #992.
Prototype implementation of bazel worker mode (not production-ready yet). See #1024 and #1055

Changed

The haskell_toolchain macro now no longer adds a toolchain definition. You must now define yourself a haskell_toolchain and a toolchain separately. This should be a mostly transparent change, because nearly no one uses these functions directly. They are normally only used transitively via haskell_register_toolchains and related functions. See #843.
The haskell/haskell.bzl entrypoint is deprecated. use haskell/defs.bzl instead.
The haskell_repositories() macro is deprecated. Use rules_haskell_dependencies() from haskell/repositories.bzl instead.
The haskell_register_toolchains() macro is deprecated. Use rules_haskell_toolchains() from haskell/repositories.bzl instead.
The exports attribute’s semantics are changed:

‘A list of other haskell libraries that will be transparently added as a dependency to every downstream rule.’

The original exports is available under the new name reexported_modules. See #1008.
@ is allowed in Haskell binary names.
haskell_library may be empty (no files in srcs). See #1035.

Removed

The haskell_lint rule has been removed. It should have been designed as a test rule and it should have had a different name. The rule isn't even necessary for its current purpose: it's more convenient to turn on compiler warnings globally in the toolchain definition.

The cc_haskell_import and haskell_cc_import rules have been removed. These rules were redundant since Haskell rules can directly interact with C rules. Use the following patterns instead.

# To import Haskell from C.
haskell_library(name = "haskell-lib", ...)
cc_library(name = "cc-lib", deps = [":haskell-lib"], ...)

# To import C from Haskell.
cc_library(name = "cc-lib", ...)
haskell_library(name = "haskell-lib", deps = [":cc-lib"], ...)

# To import a pre-built library.
cc_library(name = "so-lib", srcs = glob(["libxyz.so*", "libxyz.dylib", "libxyz.a", "libxyz.dll"]))
haskell_library(name = "haskell-lib", deps = [":so-lib"], ...)

Fixed

haskell_register_ghc_nixpkgs: Forward all arguments to wrapped rules. See #886. Also support repository argument and nixopts.
Haddock links to prebuilt libraries. See #928 and #934.
Documentation for GHC plugin targets is now included in the API documentation.
The Multi-REPL recognizes haskell_toolchain_library dependencies.
Various imrovements to linking. See #930.
$(location) expansion for “expression is not a declared prerequisite of this rule”. See #990.
Better error if the compiler version doesn’t match the one specified in the toolchain. See #1014.
macOS bindists correctly find ar and sed invocation was broken. See #1022 and #1017.
Allow arbitrary name for haskell_cabal_library. See #1034.
Various fixes for c2hs on Windows See #1046 and #1052.
:load command in ghci See #1046.

Improved

Profiling mode (--compilation_mode="dbg"). See #896.
GHC errors won’t be swallowed anymore. See #1050.

[0.9.1] - 2019-06-03

Fixed

Bindists were broken on macOS. See 884.

[0.9] - 2019-05-07

Highlights

The minimum supported Bazel version is now v0.24.

The version is available from nixpkgs unstable and via official releases.
Initial Windows support

A non-trivial subset of rules_haskell is now working on Windows. See the project tracker for finished and ongoing work.
Improved OSX support

Due to the mach-o header size limit, we took extra measures to make sure generated library paths are as short as possible, so linking haskell binaries works even for large dependency graphs.
Better Bindist support

The default start script sets up a bindist-based project by default. rules_nixpkgs is no longer a required dependency of rules_haskell (but can still be used as backend).
Full Haskell–C–Haskell Sandwich

A haskell_library can be now be used nearly anywhere a cc_library can.

The old cc_haskell_import and haskell_cc_import wrapper rules are no longer necessary and have been deprecated.

Greatly improved REPL support

A new haskell_repl rule allows to load multiple source targets by source, or compiled, as needed. Example usage:

haskell_repl(
  name = "my-repl",
  # Collect all transitive Haskell dependencies from these targets.
  deps = [
      "//package-a:target-1",
      "//package-b:target-2",
  ],
  # Load targets by source that match these patterns.
  include = [
      "//package-a/...",
      "//packaga-b/...",
      "//common/...",
  ],
  # Don't load targets by source that match these patterns.
  exclude = [
      "//package-a/vendored/...",
  ],
)

Support for GHC plugins

Each haskell_* rule now has a plugins attribute. It takes a list of bazel targets, which should be haskell_librarys that implement the GHC plugin specification.
Initial Code Coverage support

Measure coverage of your Haskell code. See the “Checking Code Coverage” section in the manual.

Compatibility Notice

hazel was merged into rules_haskell, but we are not yet certain about the exact interface we want to expose. hazel is therefore not included in this release, and we can’t guarantee the original, unmerged version is compatible with this release. If you depend on hazel, please use a recent master commit of rules_haskell.

Changed

haskell_register_ghc_bindists is no longer re-exported from //haskell/haskell.bzl. You must now load that macro from //haskell:nixpkgs.bzl.
rules_nixpkgs is no longer a dependency of rules_haskell.

haskell_import has been renamed to haskell_toolchain_library. This is a substantial breaking change. But adapting to it should be as simple as

sed -i 's/^haskell_import/haskell_toolchain_library/' **/BUILD{,.bazel}
sed -i 's/"haskell_import"/"haskell_toolchain_library"/' **/BUILD{,.bazel}

haskell_toolchain’s tools attribute is now a list of labels. Earlier entries take precendence. To migrate, add [] around your argument. See #854.
The default outputs of haskell_library are now the static and/or shared library files, not the package database config and cache files.

Added

haskell_repl rule that constructs a ghci wrapper that loads multiple targets by source. See #736.
plugins attribute to haskell_* rules to load GHC plugins. See #799.
The HaskellInfo and HaskellLibraryInfo providers are now exported and thus accessible by downstream rules. See #844.
Generate version macros for preprocessors (c2hs, hsc2hs). See #847.
bindist_toolchain rule gets haddock_flags and repl_ghci_args attributes.
@repl targets write json file with build information, usable by IDE tools. See #695.

Deprecated

haskell_cc_import; use cc_library instead. See #831.
cc_haskell_import; just use haskell_library like a cc_library. See #831.

Fixed

Support protobuf roots in haskell_proto_library. See #722.
Made GHC bindist relocatable on *nix. See #853.
Various other fixes

[0.8] - 2019-01-28

The minimum supported Bazel version is now v0.21.

Added

haskell_register_toolchains, haskell_register_ghc_bindists and haskell_register_ghc_nixpkgs to register multiple toolchains for multiple platforms at once. Toolchains from binary distributions can now coexist with toolchains from Nixpkgs, even on the same platform. On nixpkgs you need to provide a toolchain. See the README for instructions. See #597 and #610.
Instructions on how to reference a local checkout of rules_haskell.
rules_haskell is forward-compatible with the next breaking changes in bazel versions, via the --all_incompatible_changes flag. See #613.

Removed

The generate_so attribute of haskell_binary and haskell_test has been completely superseded by linkstatic in the last release and became a no-op, so it is removed.
The main_file attribute of haskell_binary and haskell_test had been deprecated because it was a no-op, so it is removed.
The prebuilt_dependencies attribute of all haskell rules had been deprecated two versions ago and is removed. Use haskell_import instead (see docs for usage).
The extra_binaries field is now no longer supported.

Changed

ghc_bindist now requires a target argument. Use haskell_register_ghc_nixpkgs to call ghc_bindist once per known target. See #610.
ghc_bindist now registers itself as a toolchain. We no longer require a separate toolchain definition and registration in addition to ghc_bindist. See #610.
c2hs support is now provided in a separate toolchain called c2hs_toolchain, rather than an optional extra to the haskell_toolchain. See #590.
Rename bindist arch names so they are the same as in rules_go/nodejs.

Fixed

Prevent duplicate installs of bazel_skylib See #536.
Test suite now executes all binaries, various runtime errors were uncovered. See #551.
Repl targets that have indirect cc_library dependencies. See #576.
linkstatic for haskell binaries that have an indirect dependency on a prebuilt haskell package. See #569.
… and an indirect dependency on a C library. See #567.
Prefer linking agains static C libraries with linkstatic. See #587.
Haddock flags take precedence over GHC compiler flags. See #572.
User-defined GHC flags now override default flags. See #607.
Dynamic transitive C(++) libraries work. See #627.

[0.7] - 2018-12-24

Added

Support for Bazel 0.20.0. This is now also the lower bound for the supported version.
Supported reexported modules, via the new exports attribute. See #357.
Support linkstatic attribute, for building mostly static binaries. This is now the default for binaries, to match the C/C++ rules defaults. See #378.
It is now possible to set default Haddock flags in the toolchain definition. See #425.
Support wrapping Haskell libraries as shared objects callable from Python. See #370.

Changed

REPL targets have changed name. If you have a library target foo, then the corresponding REPL target is now called foo@repl. It was previously called foo-repl. The old name is still supported but is deprecated.
Don't set a default version number anymore in libraries and binaries. Version numbers, and CPP version macros, are now only used for packages imported from Hackage. Don't use them otherwise. See #386, #414 and #446.
On macOS, we use ar for linking, not Libtool. See #392.
The runfiles Haskell library has been broken out into a Cabal library and published on Hackage.

Fixed

Make REPL force building of dependencies. See #363.
Don’t crash on inputs missing .haddock interface files. See #362
Fix handling of non-unique package names. See #403.

[0.6] - 2018-07-21

Added

Protocol buffers integration using proto-lens. See #239.
strip_include_prefix attribute to the haskell_cc_import rule. See #241.
Support for c2hs files. See #351.
The extra_srcs attribute that allows to list non-Haskell source files that should be visible during compilation and linking (usually useful with TH). See #292.
The extra_binaries attribute to the haskell_toolchain rule. See #282.
A Haskell library for looking up runfiles. See #302.
A separate toolchain for doctest—haskell_doctest_toolchain. See #310.
The compiler_flags attribute to the haskell_toolchain rule allowing to specify default compiler flags. See #315.
The ability to set locale to be used during compilation by adding the locale and locale_archive attributes to haskell_toolchain. See #328.
Proper support for profiling. See #332.
The repl_ghci_args attribute to the haskell_toolchain rule. See #334.
The haskell_import rule allowing us to make specifying dependencies more uniform and to deprecate the prebuilt_dependencies attribute. See #337.

Fixed

Template Haskell linking against cc_library. See #218.
Linking issues on macOS. See #221.
GHC packages that correspond to targets with the same name but in different Bazel packages no longer clash. See #219.
Build breakage on macOS when XCode is not installed. See #223.
Bug preventing Haddock generation because of missing dynamic shared libraries when targets have TH in them. See #226.
Hyperlinks between targets contained in different Bazel packages (Haddocks). See #231.
Generated source files do not cause issues now. See #211.
data attributes now allow files in them. See #236.
Bug when headers and hsc2hs-produced files were not visible to Haddock. See #254.
Bug preventing using genrule-produced headers via haskell_cc_import. See #268.
Bug that allowed us avoid specifying certain prebuilt_dependencies if they were already specified for transitive dependencies. See #286.
Bug that was making modules generated from .hsc and .chs files and generated modules in general not available in the REPLs. See #323.

Changed

Added -Wnoncanonical-monad-instances to default warnings in haskell_lint.
How REPLs work. Now there is an optional output per binary/library. Its name is the name of target with -repl added. Users can then build and run such a REPL for any defined target. See #220 and #225.
The haskell_doc rule now produces self-contained documentation bundle with unified index. See #249.
haskell_lint now only lints direct dependencies. See #293.
haskell_doctest has been re-designed. It's now a normal rule that works only on direct dependencies and allows to specify modules which should be tested, pass custom flags to doctest executable. See #342.
The prebuilt_dependencies attribute of haskell_binary and haskell_library has been deprecated. See #355.

[0.5] - 2018-04-15

Added

Support for macOS, courtesy of Judah Jacobson. See #165.
Support for data attributes in haskell_binary and haskell_library rules. See #167.
Output on building of GHC bindists so it's clearer what went wrong in case of a failure.
haskell_repl rule allowing to interact with GHCi. See #82.
Support for GHC 8.4.1 bindist. See #175.
haskell_lint rule. See #181.
haskell_doctest rule. See #194.

Changed

Improved hermeticity of builds. See #180.
cc_haskell_import now works with haskell_binary targets as well. See #179.

[0.4] - 2018-02-27

Added

hidden_modules attribute of the haskell_library rule. This allows to selectively hide modules in a library. See #152.

Fixed

Test executables now find shared libraries correctly at runtime. See #151.
Building of certain modules does not fail with the “file name does not match module name” message anymore. See #139.
Linking issues that resulted in unresolved symbols due to incorrect order in which static libraries are passed to linker are not resolved. See #140.
The “grep not found” error is fixed. See #141.
System-level shared libraries introduced by haskell_cc_import are now found correctly during compilation. See #142.
