The stack ide commands

stack ide COMMAND

Available commands:
  packages                 List all available local loadable packages
  targets                  List all available Stack targets

The stack ide commands provide information that may be of use in an integrated development environment (IDE). See stack ide for the available commands.

The stack ide packages command

stack ide packages [--stdout] [--cabal-files]

stack ide packages lists all available project packages that are loadable.

By default:

• its output is sent to the standard error stream. Pass the flag --stdout to change to the standard output stream; and
• the output is the package name (without its version). Pass the flag --cabal-files to change to the full path to the package's Cabal file.

The stack ide targets command

stack ide targets [--exes] [--tests] [--benchmarks] [--stdout]

stack ide targets lists all available Stack targets. Alternatively, pass one or more of the flags --exes, --tests and --benchmarks to list only targets of those component types.

By default, its output is sent to the standard error stream. Pass the flag --stdout to change to the standard output stream.

For example, for the Stack project itself, command:

cd stack
stack ide targets

and the output from the second command is:

stack:lib
stack:exe:stack
stack:exe:stack-integration-test
stack:test:stack-unit-test

or command:

stack ide targets --exes

and the output is:

stack:exe:stack
stack:exe:stack-integration-test
