Yesod ExitFailure 1 when installing scaffolded app

I'm trying to install my first scaffolded Yesod app. When I run cabal-dev install && yesod --dev devel it fails with ExitFailure 1. I'm using sqlite for persistent.

Application.hs:49:44:
No instance for (monad-logger-0.3.1:Control.Monad.Logger.MonadLogger
                   IO)
  arising from a use of `runMigration'
Possible fix:
  add an instance declaration for
  (monad-logger-0.3.1:Control.Monad.Logger.MonadLogger IO)
In the second argument of `Database.Persist.Store.runPool', namely
  `(runMigration migrateAll)'
In a stmt of a 'do' block:
  Database.Persist.Store.runPool dbconf (runMigration migrateAll) p
In the expression:
  do { manager <- newManager def;
       s <- staticSite;
       dbconf <- withYamlEnvironment
                   "config/sqlite.yml" (appEnv conf) Database.Persist.Store.loadConfig
                 >>= Database.Persist.Store.applyEnv;
       p <- Database.Persist.Store.createPoolConfig
              (dbconf :: PersistConfig);
       .... }
Failed to install testProject-0.0.0
cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:
testProject-0.0.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

I've tried to follow the instructions here: http://www.yesodweb.com/book/scaffolding-and-the-site-template Haven't managed to find any information regarding this problem. Any clues as to what's missing?

FYI, I overcame this by wrapping the value provided to withSqliteConn as argument with the NoLoggingT constructor, which allowed withSqliteConn to find MonadLogger somewhere in the stack, and I unwrapped the returned result with runNoLoggingT

mainWithExplicitConnection2:: IO ()
mainWithExplicitConnection2 =
    runNoLoggingT $ withSqliteConn ":memory:" $ \conn ->
        NoLoggingT $ flip runSqlPersistM conn $ runMigration migrateAll

I'm still getting comfortable with transformers, so following Colin's answer, this is a very quick way to disable logging completely:

import Control.Monad.Logger (MonadLogger, monadLoggerLog)
import Control.Applicative  (pure)

instance MonadLogger IO where
    monadLoggerLog _ _ _ = pure $ pure ()

It basically reimplements the NoLoggingT instance for MonadIO.

However, once you get this quick fix on your codebase, you should head to the Monad Transformers page at the Haskell Wiki as I'm doing right now ; )

Use one of the runFooLoggingT functions from Control.Monad.Logger. In particular there's runNoLoggingT.

This is probably a much, much better idea than fixing yourself to an old version of the library!

The error message says that the MonadLogger IO instance is missing. The problem is that the installed version of monad-logger is too new. monad-logger-0.2.4 includes the instance you need, monad-logger-0.3.0 and above apparently don't.

The solution: Add && < 0.3.0 to the monad-logger line in your cabal file and do cabal install --only-dependencies again.

(If there is no monad-logger line, add one like , monad-logger < 0.3.0.
