HERMIT shell

Implements RESTful web service interface to HERMIT, spawns GHCi in a separate process to communicate with it.

Running

cabal install
hermit-shell SomeFile.hs

Here is an example of how to use the display command and how set the current path to the main function, once the shell is started:

send display
setPath (rhsOf "main")

Tests

bash% cabal test --show-details=streaming

(Note that this runs the installed version, not the locally built version.)

To remaster any test, just remove the golden, and re-rerun.

Running Examples

% cabal exec bash
% cd examples/hanoi/
% hermit-shell Hanoi.hs 
[...]
HERMIT> :l HanoiScript
[...]
HERMIT> script
