missing other-modules breaks --hyperlink-with-source

[bos]

(Imported from Trac #586, reported by bastl on 2009-09-16)

"cabal haddock --executables" produces documentation for all modules Main depends on.

"cabal haddock --executables --hyperlink-with-source" only generates source for main (but links to the dependent modules, which results in broken links.)

Cabal 1.6.0.3,
cabal-install 0.6.2
ghc 6.10.3

ubuntu 9.04

I rather suspect the problem is that the package in question does not list the "other-modules" correctly and only lists the "main-is". Could you confirm this?

If so then we chalk it up as another thing that'll be fixed when we implement a make-style module/file dependency framework (see #15).

Confirmed. With valid "Other-Modules" it works.

Anyway it should give a warning, IMHO.
