Using HLint.hs file in EclipseFP


Is it possible to use HLint.hs file to customize HLint messages in EclipseFP?

I tried adding a HLint.hs file in the project root containing:

import "hint" HLint.HLint

ignore "Use camelCase"

but it has no effect:

Update:

For HLint to pick up the changes in the HLint.hs file it is required to run Cabal install dependencies by right clicking on the project:


Solution

  • EclipseFP runs HLint passing the project folder as the working directory, so a HLint.hs file there will be taken into account. HLint only runs when needed, so after putting the HLint.hs file or modifying it you need to touch your source files so they get rebuilt again and HLint runs on them again.
