Distribution.Simple.Program
Description
This provides an abstraction which deals with configuring and running
programs. A Program is a static notion of a known program. A
ConfiguredProgram is a Program that has been found on the current
machine and is ready to be run (possibly with some user-supplied default
args). Configuring a program involves finding its location and if necessary
finding its version. There is also a ProgramDb type which holds
configured and not-yet configured programs. It is the parameter to lots of
actions elsewhere in Cabal that need to look up and run programs. If we had
a Cabal monad, the ProgramDb would probably be a reader or
state component of it.
The module also defines all the known built-in Programs and the
defaultProgramDb which contains them all.
One nice thing about using it is that any program that is registered with Cabal will get some "configure" and ".cabal" helpers like --with-foo-args --foo-path= and extra-foo-args.
There's also good default behavior for trying to find "foo" in PATH, being able to override its location, etc.
There's also a hook for adding programs in a Setup.lhs script. See
hookedPrograms in UserHooks. This gives a
hook user the ability to get the above flags and such so that they
don't have to write all the PATH logic inside Setup.lhs.

Program and functions for constructing them
Represents a program which can be configured.
Note: rather than constructing this directly, start with simpleProgram and
override any extra fields.
Constructors
| Program | |
Fields
| |
type ProgramSearchPath = [ProgramSearchPathEntry] Source #
A search path to use when locating executables. This is analogous
to the unix $PATH or win32 %PATH% but with the ability to use
the system default method for finding executables (findExecutable which
on unix is simply looking on the $PATH but on win32 is a bit more
complicated).
The default to use is [ProgSearchPathDefault] but you can add extra dirs
either before, after or instead of the default, e.g. here we add an extra
dir to search after the usual ones.
['ProgramSearchPathDefault', 'ProgramSearchPathDir' dir]
data ProgramSearchPathEntry Source #
Constructors
| ProgramSearchPathDir FilePath | A specific dir |
| ProgramSearchPathDefault | The system default |
Instances
simpleProgram :: String -> Program Source #
Make a simple named program.
By default we'll just search for it in the path and not try to find the version name. You can override these behaviours if necessary, eg:
(simpleProgram "foo") { programFindLocation = ... , programFindVersion ... }findProgramOnSearchPath :: Verbosity -> ProgramSearchPath -> FilePath -> IO (Maybe (FilePath, [FilePath])) Source #
Arguments
| :: String | version args |
| -> (String -> String) | function to select version number from program output |
| -> Verbosity | |
| -> FilePath | location |
| -> IO (Maybe Version) |
Look for a program and try to find it's version number. It can accept either an absolute path or the name of a program binary, in which case we will look for the program on the path.
Configured program and related functions
data ConfiguredProgram Source #
Represents a program which has been configured and is thus ready to be run.
These are usually made by configuring a Program, but if you have to
construct one directly then start with simpleConfiguredProgram and
override any extra fields.
Constructors
| ConfiguredProgram | |
Fields
| |
Instances
programPath :: ConfiguredProgram -> FilePath Source #
The full path of a configured program.
data ProgramLocation Source #
Where a program was found. Also tells us whether it's specified by user or not. This includes not just the path, but the program as well.
Constructors
| UserSpecified | The user gave the path to this program, eg. --ghc-path=/usr/bin/ghc-6.6 |
Fields | |
| FoundOnSystem | The program was found automatically. |
Fields | |
Instances
Arguments
| :: Verbosity | Verbosity |
| -> ConfiguredProgram | The program to run |
| -> [ProgArg] | Any extra arguments to add |
| -> IO () |
Runs the given configured program.
Arguments
| :: Verbosity | Verbosity |
| -> ConfiguredProgram | The program to run |
| -> [ProgArg] | Any extra arguments to add |
| -> IO String |
Runs the given configured program and gets the output.
suppressOverrideArgs :: ConfiguredProgram -> ConfiguredProgram Source #
Suppress any extra arguments added by the user.
Program invocations
data ProgramInvocation Source #
Represents a specific invocation of a specific program.
This is used as an intermediate type between deciding how to call a program and actually doing it. This provides the opportunity to the caller to adjust how the program will be called. These invocations can either be run directly or turned into shell or batch scripts.
Constructors
| ProgramInvocation | |
Fields | |
simpleProgramInvocation :: FilePath -> [String] -> ProgramInvocation Source #
programInvocation :: ConfiguredProgram -> [String] -> ProgramInvocation Source #
runProgramInvocation :: Verbosity -> ProgramInvocation -> IO () Source #
The collection of unconfigured and configured programs
builtinPrograms :: [Program] Source #
The default list of programs. These programs are typically used internally to Cabal.
The collection of configured programs we can run
The configuration is a collection of information about programs. It contains information both about configured programs and also about programs that we are yet to configure.
The idea is that we start from a collection of unconfigured programs and one
by one we try to configure them at which point we move them into the
configured collection. For unconfigured programs we record not just the
Program but also any user-provided arguments and location for the program.
Instances
| Read ProgramDb # | Note that this instance does not preserve the known |
| Show ProgramDb # | Note that this instance does not preserve the known |
| Binary ProgramDb # | Note that this instance does not preserve the known |
restoreProgramDb :: [Program] -> ProgramDb -> ProgramDb Source #
The 'Read'\/'Show' and Binary instances do not preserve all the
unconfigured Programs because Program is not in 'Read'\/'Show' because
it contains functions. So to fully restore a deserialised ProgramDb use
this function to add back all the known Programs.
- It does not add the default programs, but you probably want them, use
builtinProgramsin addition to any extra you might need.
addKnownProgram :: Program -> ProgramDb -> ProgramDb Source #
Add a known program that we may configure later
knownPrograms :: ProgramDb -> [(Program, Maybe ConfiguredProgram)] Source #
getProgramSearchPath :: ProgramDb -> ProgramSearchPath Source #
Get the current ProgramSearchPath used by the ProgramDb.
This is the default list of locations where programs are looked for when
configuring them. This can be overridden for specific programs (with
userSpecifyPath), and specific known programs can modify or ignore this
search path in their own configuration code.
setProgramSearchPath :: ProgramSearchPath -> ProgramDb -> ProgramDb Source #
Change the current ProgramSearchPath used by the ProgramDb.
This will affect programs that are configured from here on, so you
should usually set it before configuring any programs.
Arguments
| :: String | Program name |
| -> FilePath | user-specified path to the program |
| -> ProgramDb | |
| -> ProgramDb |
User-specify this path. Basically override any path information for this program in the configuration. If it's not a known program ignore it.
userSpecifyPaths :: [(String, FilePath)] -> ProgramDb -> ProgramDb Source #
Like userSpecifyPath but for a list of progs and their paths.
User-specify the arguments for this program. Basically override any args information for this program in the configuration. If it's not a known program, ignore it..
userSpecifyArgss :: [(String, [ProgArg])] -> ProgramDb -> ProgramDb Source #
Like userSpecifyPath but for a list of progs and their args.
userSpecifiedArgs :: Program -> ProgramDb -> [ProgArg] Source #
Get any extra args that have been previously specified for a program.
lookupProgram :: Program -> ProgramDb -> Maybe ConfiguredProgram Source #
Try to find a configured program
lookupProgramVersion :: Verbosity -> Program -> VersionRange -> ProgramDb -> IO (Either String (ConfiguredProgram, Version, ProgramDb)) Source #
Check that a program is configured and available to be run.
Additionally check that the program version number is suitable and return
it. For example you could require AnyVersion or orLaterVersion
(Version [1,0] [])
It returns the configured program, its version number and a possibly updated
ProgramDb. If the program could not be configured or the version is
unsuitable, it returns an error value.
updateProgram :: ConfiguredProgram -> ProgramDb -> ProgramDb Source #
Update a configured program in the database.
configureProgram :: Verbosity -> Program -> ProgramDb -> IO ProgramDb Source #
Try to configure a specific program. If the program is already included in the collection of unconfigured programs then we use any user-supplied location and arguments. If the program gets configured successfully it gets added to the configured collection.
Note that it is not a failure if the program cannot be configured. It's only a failure if the user supplied a location and the program could not be found at that location.
The reason for it not being a failure at this stage is that we don't know up
front all the programs we will need, so we try to configure them all.
To verify that a program was actually successfully configured use
requireProgram.
configureAllKnownPrograms :: Verbosity -> ProgramDb -> IO ProgramDb Source #
Try to configure all the known programs that have not yet been configured.
reconfigurePrograms :: Verbosity -> [(String, FilePath)] -> [(String, [ProgArg])] -> ProgramDb -> IO ProgramDb Source #
reconfigure a bunch of programs given new user-specified args. It takes
the same inputs as userSpecifyPath and userSpecifyArgs and for all progs
with a new path it calls configureProgram.
requireProgram :: Verbosity -> Program -> ProgramDb -> IO (ConfiguredProgram, ProgramDb) Source #
Check that a program is configured and available to be run.
It raises an exception if the program could not be configured, otherwise it returns the configured program.
requireProgramVersion :: Verbosity -> Program -> VersionRange -> ProgramDb -> IO (ConfiguredProgram, Version, ProgramDb) Source #
Like lookupProgramVersion, but raises an exception in case of error
instead of returning 'Left errMsg'.
Arguments
| :: Verbosity | verbosity |
| -> Program | The program to run |
| -> ProgramDb | look up the program here |
| -> [ProgArg] | Any extra arguments to add |
| -> IO () |
Looks up the given program in the program database and runs it.
