Gigasecond - Could not find module ‘System.Locale’ about haskell

[hojgr]

Just run into the same issue. Have you found any solution to this?

[topher6345]

No I still haven't

[hojgr]

I managed to solve it yesterday by installing package old-time
cabal install old-time

/cc @etrepum would you mind taking a look at this? Maybe there's something we could add to the documentation to help unstick people on this point.

[hojgr]

I am just learning haskell, but wouldnt it just be better to use a time library included with Haskell Platform by default? The old-time seems to be deprecated (it has old in it :) )

[kytrinyx]

That sounds reasonable, I just don't know if there's some other intended approach to all of this.

[NobbZ]

The interface used in the tests, has been around in Plattform quite a long time, at least a decade. This was also current when the track got its last update to a current version of Plattform/GHC.

I don't know why it has been removed or deprecated from Plattform last year, but I do see, that xhaskells maintainers are very silent.

Perhaps someone with enough knowledge and time can take the track over?

Yes, that would be excellent. I'll reach out to some folks over the next few weeks.

I made the test file compile by removing the import for System.Locale and adding iso8601DateFormat to the import for Data.Time.Format.
import Data.Time.Format (TimeLocale, ParseTime, parseTimeOrError, defaultTimeLocale, iso8601DateFormat)

It seems to work fine then.

Thanks @hbarney! Your tip worked for me:

I also opened a PR fixing this #96

@etrepum can you take a look? 😄

[kytrinyx]

I went ahead and merged it. If there's a better approach, let's discuss!
