setting file does not exists and empty results about weigh HOT 6 CLOSED

@guibou I think the problem is in extra lib in that path, e.g. locally I have those settings in /nix/store/8fil9jim41clgkfbchn8yq14azgbr1zd-ghc-8.6.5/lib/ghc-8.6.5/settings
I'm not quite sure where those get loaded but my hypothesis is that maybe Nix somehow gets in a way of directory resolution.

Wait, does weigh works in ghci for you? I just realized that it works fine here in a compiled program, but not in GHCi.

@guibou that was just a note about paths, I didn't try starting GHCi in a nix-shell. The idea was that it could be a hint to resolve the problem

Weigh runs the current process again with different environment variables. If it works in GHCi, it would be a surprise.

@chrisdone I do understand. Should we close this bug as "won't fix by design"?

from weigh.

Sure.
