stderr not displaying on Apple Silicon

[habibalamin]

I have tried this on 8.10.7 and 9.2.2, and on 9.2.2, I have tried native Apple Silicon codegen build and LLVM build. The same exact project works with ghcid on an older Intel machine I have (with an older OS and GHC 8.8.4 and 8.10.7).

This fails even on a very simple project, like this:

-- minimal-reproduction-ghcid-not-showing-stderr-on-apple-silicon-darwin.cabal
cabal-version:         3.0
name:                  minimal-reproduction-ghcid-not-showing-stderr-on-apple-silicon-darwin

version:               0.1.0.0

library libminimal-reproduction-ghcid-not-showing-stderr-on-apple-silicon-darwin
  default-language: Haskell2010

  hs-source-dirs:      src/lib
  exposed-modules:     Minimal.Reproduction
  build-depends:       base ^>= 4.14.3.0

-- src/lib/Minimal/Reproduction.hs
module Minimal.Reproduction where

minimallyReproduce :: IO ()
minimallyReproduce = pure ()

I notice that the title changes from “All good” to “1 error” or “1 warning” (neither will print, warnings or errors). ghcid doesn't seem to refresh the display, until I fix the error or warning and save again.

[ndmitchell]

Is this perhaps a bug in the underlying ghci that ghcid is using? The easiest way to tell would be to run with --verbose which prints a fairly complete trace which should show what is happening.

[habibalamin]

Apologies, I should have included this information in the OP, but I've been so busy preparing to fly to Istanbul, and I forgot to mention, I have tried by just loading and reloading in GHCi directly, and it works fine.

I do have some verbose output which I pasted into TextEdit (and so couldn't paste with colour). That project does some extra stuff with ghcid(/GHCi), so I redid it with the minimal repro. I kinda just added some extra newlines before I reloaded the file, and I wanted to format it and split it before pasting it here, but whatever, I'll just paste what I have now, with ANSI escape codes and all:

you need:

biegunka/terminal-size#16

for it to work on arm64

[habibalamin]

Fixed. terminal-size-0.3.3, which fixes this issue, was literally released hours after I filed it.
