How to change the GHC version the extension uses for stand alone files

[h2df]

Hi,
Currently I'm using an unsupported verion of stack ghc so I get this error message:

haskell-language-server 1.3.0 for GHC 8.10.6 is not available on Windows_NT. See the list of supported versions here

I'm new to the language and the tool chain so I wonder where the extension is picking the GHC version from. I would guess it's the global configuration at C:\sr\global-project\stack.yaml. But changing the resolver value in that file to 8.10.5 is not picked by the extension.

Changing my stand alone files into a project fixes the issue, the project stack.yaml (with supported resolver version) will be horored. But as a beginer I'm would love to avoid dealing with the hassle of all the meta files in a project.

Is there a way to make the extension pick up a GHC version I specify for stand alone files, so that I can give it a version it supports?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your question, which might help other ones.
For now the ghc used for standalone files is the ghc in $PATH, so change it should work. Ideally opening standalone files should be consistent with projects and we have an issue to track it: haskell/haskell-language-server#692

Thanks a lot for the information.
