stack haddock fails to construct the build plan since GHC 8.6.3

[igrep]

General summary/comments (optional)

Like https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/4195 stack haddock fails with an error Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered: ... when the resolver is lts-13.13 or lts-13.11, whose compiler version is GHC 8.6.3 or later.

Steps to reproduce

1. stack new bar
2. cd bar
3. stack haddock (or stack --resolver=lts-13.11 haddock)

Include any .yaml configuration if relevant.

Expected

stack haddock runs successfully to generate the document.

Actual

(Edit: replaced the command output with --verbose option)

> stack --resolver=lts-13.11 --verbose haddock

Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:

In the dependencies for bar-0.1.0.0:
    base must match >=4.7 && <5, but the stack configuration has no specified version  (latest
         matching version is 4.12.0.0)
needed since bar is a build target.

Some different approaches to resolving this:

  * Consider trying 'stack solver', which uses the cabal-install solver to attempt to find some
    working build configuration. This can be convenient when dealing with many complicated
    constraint errors, but results may be unpredictable.

  * Build requires unattainable version of base. Since base is a part of GHC, you most likely need
    to use a different GHC version with the matching base.

Plan construction failed.

Method of installation

• stack upgrade. Originally from Chocolatey

[snoyberg]

I think there's a problem with the Windows build of GHC 8.6.4, which I noticed on some of my CI jobs. It seems that it does not ship with the haddock.exe executable or, apparently, the Haddocks for these packages. That should probably be filed upstream with GHC.

In the meanwhile, can you confirm if stack haddock --no-haddock-deps works?

[snoyberg]

Looks like this is a known upstream issue already:

• https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16408
• https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16407
• https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16398

[igrep]

In the meanwhile, can you confirm if stack haddock --no-haddock-deps works?

The error message chaged!

[snoyberg]

This is the same upstream issue: GHC 8.6.4 on Windows is simply not providing a working haddock.exe.

[igrep]

So should I close this now? Or close after fixing the GHC's bug?

[snoyberg]

It's better to close now, thanks!
