cabal-macosx module not found when building

[dimecon]

I was told to open the issue here: HeinrichApfelmus/reactive-banana#116

I am trying to set up a project that depends on reactive-banana-wx.

For convenience, Heinrich described the problem as follows:

"The problem here is that the cabal-macosx package has to be in scope when configuring the reactive-banana-wx library — it uses a custom Setup.hs script that also depends on the cabal-macosx package. It looks like stack cannot deal with this situation yet."

Steps to reproduce:

1. stack new test simple and cd to project
2. Append reactive-banana, wx, cabal-macosx, reactive-banana-wx, repa to test.cabal.
3. In stack.yaml, add these to extra-deps: cabal-macosx-0.2.3.1, reactive-banana-1.0.0.0, reactive-banana-wx-1.0.0.0, wx-0.92.1.0, wxc-0.92.1.1, wxcore-0.92.1.0, wxdirect-0.92.1.0
4. stack setup
5. stack build

Expected: The build to succeed.

Actual:

Here is my stack --version output:

Version 0.1.6.0, Git revision e22271f (2313 commits) x86_64

Here is the output of stack build:

More information

stack exec ghc-pkg list shows cabal-macosx-0.2.3.1 in .stack-work/install/x86_64-linux/lts-3.7/7.10.2/pkgdb, and stack exec ghc-pkg describe cabal-macosx lists Distribution.MacOSX as an exposed module.

stack exec stack -- build gives the same error.

[borsboom]

It looks like this is happening because Stack is giving Setup.hs access to snapshot packages via the -package-db=/Users/manny/.stack/snapshots/x86_64-osx/lts-3.7/7.10.2/pkgdb argument, but is not giving access to the local package database. So if cabal-macosx were a snapshot package, this would work, but since it's an extra-dep it doesn't. #941 looks related.

@snoyberg: this looks like an oversight to me, but can you confirm that this behaviour is not intentional?

[snoyberg]

@mgsloan had already proposed changing this behavior, which I'm ambivalent on. You can also play with this setting, which should solve the problem

[dimecon]

Thanks. Adding

explicit-setup-deps:
    "reactive-banana-wx": true
    entropy: false

to my stack.yaml solved the problem, as suggested.

Sorry to comment on a close issue, but I'm having the same issue as the OP, and when I tried the explicit-setup-deps solution I get the following error:
