stack-all
A CLI tool for building Haskell projects easily over Stackage major versions.
This is how I do my Haskell "build ci" now locally.
Usage
stack-all
by default runs stack build
over
recent Stackage LTS major versions and Nightly
(current default is nightly, lts-18, lts-17, lts-16, lts-14,... , lts-11)
corresponding to latest major ghc minor versions,
using the stack's --resolver
option.
Note that stack
only works if a stack.yaml
file exists.
If no stack.yaml
file is found, stack-all
will create one.
Of course it may still fail to build, but this allows for
quickly trying to build a package that does not include stack support.
Overriding stack.yaml
stack-all
can use stack-ltsXX.yaml
files to override the default stack.yaml
file for particular lts major versions. Note that a stack-ltsXX.yaml
file
will also be used for older lts major versions until
another stack-ltsYY.yaml
file is found.
For example if you have stack-lts14.yaml
and stack-lts12.yaml
files
in your project,
then stack.yaml
will be used as normal to build nightly, lts-17 and lts-16,
but stack-lts14.yaml
will be used for building lts-14 and lts-13,
and stack-lts12.yaml
will be used for lts-12, lts-11 (and older).
Since stack-all
overrides the resolver with --resolver lts-XX
the exact minor lts version specified in the stack*.yaml
files
doesn't actually matter: stack-all
always uses the latest minor release of
the lts major version according to Stackage.
(Other versioned stack.yaml filenames like stack-ghc-8.8.yaml
are not currently supported.)
Configuring the oldest lts to build
You can configure the oldest working LTS major version for your project
by running for example stack-all -c -o lts-13
which generates a .stack-all
project config file like this:
[versions]
# lts-12 too old
oldest = lts-13
(the comment line can be used to document why the older lts doesn't work).
This specifies that the oldest lts version to build for is lts-13.
Specifying lts versions
You can abbreviate lts-XX
args to ltsXX
on the commandline.
There are --oldest
and --newest
options to specify the range of
lts versions to build over:
You can specify the oldest major lts to build for with eg stack-all -o lts13
.
Otherwise if not configured the default oldest lts is currently lts-11
.
Similarly you can specify the newest lts version to build from with
stack-all -n lts16
. (The default is to build from nightly.)
Alternatively, one can give one or more explicit lts major versions to build for
as arguments: eg stack-all lts14
if you only wish to build that version.
Running other stack commands
By default stack-all
just runs the stack build
command over lts versions.
You can also specify the stack command to run and its options on the commandline:
eg
$ stack-all test --no-rerun-tests
will run stack test
over the LTS versions instead.
Happy stack building!
Install
The project is released on Hackage.
You can also build from source with stack install
or cabal install
.
