Hi,

I've been trying to employ Kate as a Haskell IDE. Everything is very satisfactory, except for CTags plugin, which defies my effort to configure it.

Default CTags command:

Code: Select all

ctags -R --c++-types=+px --extra=+q --excmd=pattern --exclude=Makefile --exclude=.


Surprisingly, it runs on a haskell project without error messages, generating a huge ctags file about 200Mb. Less surprisingly, it won't work.
There is a discussion on stackoverflow: Haskell: ctags (and Kate editor). Specialized Haskell ctags generator is hasktags. My effort:

CTags database file (hs-procr is the project directory):

Code: Select all

/home/alexey/spaces/haskell/hs-procr/tags


Ctags command:

Code: Select all

stack exec -- hasktags --ignore-close-implementation --ctags .


This configuration works, just basically. The generated tags file is very human readable, but quite small, about 3K. Go to definition/declaration always reports "No hits found". Is there a way to make it work properly?
