VS Code Haskell extension - Couldn't figure out what GHC version the project is using

When I open some haskell project in VS Code I get this message:

Couldn't figure out what GHC version the project is using: /home/andrej/.config/Code - OSS/User/globalStorage/haskell.haskell/haskell-language-server-wrapper-1.2.0-linux --project-ghc-version exited with exit code 1: No 'hie.yaml' found. Try to discover the project type! Failed get project GHC version, since we have a none cradle

How to solve it?

Edit:

Here is tree structure of the project:

.
├── .exercism
│   └── metadata.json
├── package.yaml
├── README.md
├── src
│   └── ResistorColors.hs
├── stack.yaml
└── test
    └── Tests.hs

None of them working, until I delete /Users/sweirich/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-8.10.4/environments/default

Once you delete the default, and reopen the vs code. VS Haskell extension will reset the setting, and the error seems to go away.

Since your project has stack project config files, The Haskell extension should be able to figure out what it needs and a hie.yaml file to configure the extension is typically not needed for simple projects like this.

haskell-language-server, the project upon which the VS Code Haskell exension is based, is still under active development and often gets a bit stuck. The folllowing can help sort a lot of common issues:

  1. Run 
    stack clean
stack build
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+P and click 'Haskell: Restart Haskell LSP Server' (start typing to find it).

Happy Haskelling!
