stack install hood --resolver lts-12.0 fails

[FranklinChen]

This is not really a problem with hood but a problem with FPretty but I wanted to note it here for reference:

$ stack install hood --resolver lts-12.0

Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:

In the dependencies for hood-0.3.1:
    FPretty needed, but the stack configuration has no specified version  (latest
            matching version is 1.1)
needed since hood is a build target.

Same issue with cabal: Running cabal install hood returns rejecting: base-4.14.2.0/installed-4.14.2.0 (conflict: FPretty => base>=4.5 && <4.11). Please implement another pretty formatter for hood, otherwise it becomes unusable for more recent versions of the base package! Is there any hope that this will be done any time soon? If not, are there any alternatives to hood? Thanks!

I had no choice but to fork FPretty for my own use: https://github.com/FranklinChen/FPretty

Same issue for me. As a beginner, I am struggling to figure out how to resolve this. How did you make it work for you? @FranklinChen

@smith558 In my stack.yaml I use

@FranklinChen What Haskell and hood versions are you running? I (believe) I managed to get hood-0.3.1 running but my results are inconsistent. I am having the same issue as previously reported in #7 (most values are not captured).
