Build cycle detected

[mihaimaruseac]

   In the dependencies for temporary-1.3:
     * random dependency cycle detected: random, temporary, doctest,
       prettyprinter-ansi-terminal, optparse-applicative, tasty, tasty-bench, random,
       test-framework, test-framework-quickcheck2, half, OpenGLRaw, OpenGL, OpenAL, ALUT

It seems it was caused by doctest (cc @sol)

[sol]

Package should not regularly depend on doctest but instead use the documented way: https://github.com/sol/doctest/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#running-doctest-for-a-cabal-package

This should be fixed by haskell/random#165.

Thank you!

Needs a random release

[juhp]

Still wonder if there would be another way to break the cycle but maybe not?
Since we are still stuck on an old doctest < 0.22.7 because of this.

Disable tests for random maybe?

Unfortunately that didn't work: the cycle reappears

  In the dependencies for temporary-1.3:
     * random dependency cycle detected: random, temporary, doctest,
       prettyprinter-ansi-terminal, optparse-applicative, tasty, tasty-bench, random,
       test-framework, test-framework-quickcheck2, half, OpenGLRaw, OpenGL, OpenAL, ALUT
   The above is/are needed since temporary is a build target.

A similar cycle is now detected for tasty-quickcheck :(

       In the dependencies for hashable-1.5.0.0(-arch-native):
         * tasty-quickcheck dependency cycle detected: tasty-quickcheck, hashable,
           unordered-containers, doctest-parallel, regex-tdfa, tasty-quickcheck, zlib, Agda
       The above is/are needed since hashable is a build target.
       
       In the dependencies for unordered-containers-0.2.20:
         * tasty-quickcheck dependency cycle detected: tasty-quickcheck, hashable,
           unordered-containers, doctest-parallel, regex-tdfa, tasty-quickcheck, zlib, Agda
       The above is/are needed since unordered-containers is a build target.

That's weird: tasty-quickcheck itself does not depend on regex-tdfa, it's only its own tests which does. But this should not be a problem for hashable or anyone else?..

Would it break the cycle if you disable tests for tasty-quickcheck?

[mihaimaruseac]

I can try fully skipping the tests

[mihaimaruseac]

That worked. I'll try the same with random/doctest.

[mihaimaruseac]

I think this works, but cannot fully test due to #7615, #7648

[mihaimaruseac]

This is now fixed, by disabling tests for tasty-quickcheck (second cycle) and the pair of temporary and prettyprinter-ansi-terminal (the original cycle with random/doctest). Closing this as fixed right now.
