:grey_question: Do I need haskell-tools.nvim

If you are starting out with Haskell, nvim-lspconfig.hls is probably enough for you. It provides the lowest common denominator of LSP support. This plugin is for those who would like additional features that are specific to Haskell tooling.

:pencil: Prerequisites

Required

  • neovim >= 0.9

Optional

:inbox_tray: Installation

This plugin is available on LuaRocks:

:Rocks install haskell-tools.nvim

Example using lazy.nvim:

{
  'mrcjkb/haskell-tools.nvim',
  version = '^3', -- Recommended
  lazy = false, -- This plugin is already lazy
}

[!TIP]

It is suggested to pin to tagged releases if you would like to avoid breaking changes.

To manually generate documentation, use :helptags ALL.

[!NOTE]

For NixOS users with flakes enabled, this project provides outputs in the form of a package and an overlay; use it as you wish in your NixOS or home-manager configuration. It is also available in nixpkgs.

:zap: Quick Setup

This plugin automatically configures the haskell-language-server builtin LSP client and integrates with other haskell tools. See the Features section for more info.

[!WARNING]

Do not call the nvim-lspconfig.hls setup or set up the lsp client for haskell-language-server manually, as doing so may cause conflicts.

This is a filetype plugin that works out of the box, so there is no need to call a setup function or configure anything to get this plugin working.

You will most likely want to add some keymaps. Most keymaps are only useful in haskell and/or cabal files, so I suggest you define them in ~/.config/nvim/after/ftplugin/haskell.lua[^1] and/or ~/.config/nvim/after/ftplugin/cabal.lua[^1].

[^1]: See :help base-directories

Some suggestions:

-- ~/.config/nvim/after/ftplugin/haskell.lua
local ht = require('haskell-tools')
local bufnr = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true, buffer = bufnr, }
-- haskell-language-server relies heavily on codeLenses,
-- so auto-refresh (see advanced configuration) is enabled by default
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>cl', vim.lsp.codelens.run, opts)
-- Hoogle search for the type signature of the definition under the cursor
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>hs', ht.hoogle.hoogle_signature, opts)
-- Evaluate all code snippets
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>ea', ht.lsp.buf_eval_all, opts)
-- Toggle a GHCi repl for the current package
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>rr', ht.repl.toggle, opts)
-- Toggle a GHCi repl for the current buffer
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>rf', function()
  ht.repl.toggle(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(0))
end, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>rq', ht.repl.quit, opts)

[!TIP]

[!IMPORTANT]

  • Do not set vim.g.haskell_tools in after/ftplugin/haskell.lua, as the file is sourced after the plugin is initialized.

:star2: Features

codeLens

  • Evaluate all code snippets at once

haskell-language-server can evaluate code snippets using code lenses. haskell-tools.nvim provides a require('haskell-tools').lsp.buf_eval_all() shortcut to evaluate all of them at once.

evalAll

  • Hoogle-search for signature

  • Search for the type signature under the cursor.

  • Falls back to the word under the cursor if the type signature cannot be determined.

  • Telescope keymaps:

    • <CR> to copy the selected entry (<name> :: <signature>) to the clipboard.
    • <C-b> to open the selected entry's Hackage URL in a browser.
    • <C-r> to replace the word under the cursor with the selected entry.
require('haskell-tools').hoogle.hoogle_signature()

hoogleSig

  • Hole-driven development powered by Hoogle

With the <C-r> keymap, the Hoogle search telescope integration can be used to fill holes.

hoogleHole

  • GHCi repl

Start a GHCi repl for the current project / buffer.

  • Automagically detects the appropriate command (cabal repl, stack ghci or ghci) for your project.
  • Choose between a builtin handler or toggleterm.nvim.
  • Dynamically create a repl command for iron.nvim (see advanced configuration).
  • Interact with the repl from within Haskell files using a lua API.

repl

  • Open project/package files for the current buffer

commands

  • Hover actions

Inspired by rust-tools.nvim, this plugin adds the following hover actions (if available):

  • Hoogle search.
  • Open documentation in browser.
  • Open source in browser.
  • Go to definition.
  • Go to type definition.
  • Find references.

Additionally, the default behaviour of stylizing markdown is disabled. And the hover buffer's filetype is set to markdown, so that nvim-treesitter users can benefit from syntax highlighting of code snippets.

hoverActions

  • Automatically generate tags

On attaching, Neovim's LSP client will set up tagfunc to query the language server for locations to jump to. If no location is found, it will fall back to a tags file.

If fast-tags is installed, this plugin will set up autocmds to automatically generate tags:

  • For the whole project, when starting a session.
  • For the current (sub)package, when writing a file.

This feature can be tweaked or disabled in the advanced configuration.

  • Auto-discover haskell-debug-adapter configurations

If the nvim-dap plugin is installed, haskell-tools.nvim will automatically discover haskell-debug-adapter configurations.

dap

[!NOTE]

haskell-debug-adapter is an experimental design and implementation of a debug adapter for Haskell.

  • Planned

For planned features, refer to the issues.

:gear: Advanced configuration

To modify the default configuration, set vim.g.haskell_tools.

vim.g.haskell_tools = {
  ---@type ToolsOpts
  tools = {
    -- ...
  },
  ---@type HaskellLspClientOpts
  hls = {
    ---@param client number The LSP client ID.
    ---@param bufnr number The buffer number
    ---@param ht HaskellTools = require('haskell-tools')
    on_attach = function(client, bufnr, ht)
      -- Set keybindings, etc. here.
    end,
    -- ...
  },
  ---@type HTDapOpts
  dap = {
    -- ...
  },
}

[!TIP]

vim.g.haskell_tools can also be a function that returns a table.

How to dynamically load different haskell-language-server settings per project

By default, this plugin will look for a hls.json[^2] file in the project root directory, and attempt to load it. If the file does not exist, or it can't be decoded, the hls.default_settings will be used.

[^2]: haskell-language-server can generate such a file with the generate-default-config CLI argument.

You can change this behaviour with the hls.settings config:

vim.g.haskell_tools = {
  -- ...
  hls = {
    ---@param project_root string Path to the project root
    settings = function(project_root)
      local ht = require('haskell-tools')
      return ht.lsp.load_hls_settings(project_root, {
        settings_file_pattern = 'hls.json'
      })
    end,
  },
}

How to disable individual code lenses

Some code lenses might be more interesting than others. For example, the importLens could be annoying if you prefer to import everything or use a custom prelude. Individual code lenses can be turned off by disabling them in the respective plugin configurations:

hls = {
  settings = {
    haskell = {
      plugin = {
        class = { -- missing class methods
          codeLensOn = false,
        },
        importLens = { -- make import lists fully explicit
          codeLensOn = false,
        },
        refineImports = { -- refine imports
          codeLensOn = false,
        },
        tactics = { -- wingman
          codeLensOn = false,
        },
        moduleName = { -- fix module names
          globalOn = false,
        },
        eval = { -- evaluate code snippets
          globalOn = false,
        },
        ['ghcide-type-lenses'] = { -- show/add missing type signatures
          globalOn = false,
        },
      },
    },
  },
},

[!NOTE]

Alternatively, you can dynamically enable/disable different code lenses per project.

Launch haskell-language-server on Cabal files

Since version 1.9.0.0, haskell-language-server can launch on Cabal files, but it does not support all features that it has for Haskell files. You can add cabal-specific keymaps, etc. in ~/.config/nvim/after/ftplugin/cabal.lua.

Set up iron.nvim to use haskell-tools.nvim

Depends on iron.nvim/#300.

local iron = require("iron.core")
iron.setup {
  config = {
    repl_definition = {
      haskell = {
        command = function(meta)
          local file = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(meta.current_bufnr)
          -- call `require` in case iron is set up before haskell-tools
          return require('haskell-tools').repl.mk_repl_cmd(file)
        end,
      },
    },
  },
}

Create haskell-debug-adapter launch configurations

There are two ways this plugin will detect haskell-debug-adapter launch configurations:

  1. Automatically, by parsing Cabal or Stack project files.
  2. By loading a launch.json file in the project root.

[!IMPORTANT]

If you lazy-load this plugin, make sure it is loaded before registering the Telescope extension.

:stethoscope: Troubleshooting

For a health check, run :checkhealth haskell-tools

LSP features not working

If hls is unable to show diagnostics, or shows an error diagnostic at the top of your file, you should first check if you can compile your project with cabal or stack. If there are compile errors, open the files that cannot be compiled, and hls should be able to show the error diagnostics for those files.

Check which versions of hls and GHC you are using (e.g. by calling haskell-language-server-wrapper --probe-tools or haskell-language-server --probe-tools). Sometimes, certain features take some time to be implemented for the latest GHC versions. You can see how well a specific GHC version is supported here.

Minimal config

To troubleshoot this plugin with a minimal config in a temporary directory, you can try minimal.lua.

mkdir -p /tmp/minimal/
NVIM_DATA_MINIMAL="/tmp/minimal" NVIM_APP_NAME="nvim-ht-minimal" nvim -u minimal.lua

[!NOTE]

If you use Nix, you can run nix run "github:mrcjkb/haskell-tools.nvim#nvim-minimal-stable". or nix run "github:mrcjkb/haskell-tools.nvim#nvim-minimal-nightly".

If you cannot reproduce your issue with a minimal config, it may be caused by another plugin. In this case, add additional plugins and their configurations to minimal.lua, until you can reproduce it.

[!NOTE]

This plugin is only tested on Linux. It should work on MacOS, and basic features should also work on Windows (since version 1.9.5), but I have no way to test this myself. Features that rely on external tools, such as hoogle, fast-tags or ghci might break on non-Unix-like operating systems.

Logs

To enable debug logging, set the log level to DEBUG[^3]:

[^3]: See :help vim.log.levels:

vim.g.haskell_tools = {
  tools = { -- haskell-tools options
    log = {
      level = vim.log.levels.DEBUG,
    },
  },
}

You can also temporarily set the log level by calling

Command Argument
:HtSetLogLevel One of debug error warn info trace off

or

:lua require('haskell-tools').log.set_level(vim.log.levels.DEBUG)

You can find the log files by calling

-- haskell-tools.nvim log
:lua =require('haskell-tools').log.get_logfile()
-- haskell-language-server logs
:lua =require('haskell-tools').log.get_hls_logfile()

or open them by calling

:lua require('haskell-tools').log.nvim_open_logfile() -- or :HtLog
:lua require('haskell-tools').log.nvim_open_hls_logfile() -- or :HlsLog
