Unrecognized field at the top-level

[cblp]

Describe the bug

I want to specify ghc-options for all local packages

According to the documentation,

They can be specified at the top-level, in which case they apply only to local package
https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/3.6/cabal-project.html#package-configuration-options

(Why singular, by the way?)

And I get

Warning: .../cabal.project: Unrecognized
field 'ghc-options' on line 13

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

-- cabal.project
ghc-options: -Werror

Expected behavior
-Werror applied to all local packages and not applied to dependencies.

System information

• Operating system: macOS 12.4
• cabal-install version 3.6.2.0, compiled using version 3.6.2.0 of the Cabal library

oh, it's a known bug #3579

[cblp]

fixed in master; not fixed in production

[Mikolaj]

Yes, it looks so. Please install cabal 3.8 pre-release (https://discourse.haskell.org/t/cabal-3-8-pre-released/4631/1) and kindly confirm it's fixed for you. If so, let's close as fixed (we don't wait until fixes are released).

[Mikolaj]

Optimistically closing as fixed. @cblp: pretty please, make sure to alert us if that's not the case.

only want to stress you can't use ghc-options directly at top-level but under program-options section
