Problem: it turned out that the code for GHC extensions conversion that we use from `haskell-src-meta` now does not handle the recently added extensions, and on attempt to use the new LTS our interpolator fails with pattern match error. See #24 for details. Solution: use `spoon` to catch the pattern match failure. Motivation: since the issued `haskell-src-meta` package version is already on Hackage, there is not much we can do right now. Moreover, some people wait for nyan-interpolation to work with the recent LTS. So let's make it work at least somehow. I don't want to copy-paste the canvas of code that `fromExtension` is, so I just use `teaspoon` to catch the cases of extensions unhandled by `fromExtension` and ignore them. As result, the most recent exceptions remain unsupported for now. Separately I will try to fix `haskell-src-meta` and to make all the extensions work the user will just need to bump their `haskell-src-meta` dependency.

Clarification and motivation
Looks like recent releases of
haskell-src-metado not support the recent versions oftemplate-haskellproperly. See haskell-party/haskell-src-meta#40.We have to exclude the non-working versions properly, as in LTS-20.1 currently, interpolator does not work.
Acceptance criteria
haskell-src-metaversions after the one last checked (which is0.8.9) tests pass or we forbid building with such a version.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
