Hah, long overdue. Why not 9.2.3?

[andreabedini]

I need to double check but I think one could omit the minor version entirely. “9.2” would mean the latest “9.2.x”.

[ulysses4ever]

Thanks for suggestions. I can switch to 9.2.3 or 9.2 What concerns me is that there’s a new failure on 9.2.2 with haddock in a backpack test. This combination sounds scary to me! (I found out about it accidentally when looking what could be done with #8032.)

This failure also shows that not pinning the minor release can bring surprises, and I’d rather pin it as before.

Meanwhile, trying 9.2.3.

[ulysses4ever]

Same failure for 9.2.3. Also reproduces locally.

yeah unfortunately it is not uncommon that ghc minor versions breaks things.
Use lastest version will catch earlier those errors but they will interfere cabal development so I agree in pinning them and check newer versions on purpose, like this pr does

[ulysses4ever]

Oh, so the failure is due to "expect fail" on those tests (introduced in #8022) was very (I'd say: too) specific about version of GHC it covers. I propose changing

- ghc <- isGhcVersion "== 9.0.2 || == 9.2.1"
+ ghc <- isGhcVersion "== 9.0.2 || == 9.2.*"

The actual ticket investigating the problem is #7987.

[robx]

(oops reflexively hit the "delete branch" button, guess it doesn't hurt)

[ulysses4ever]

It's all good @robx. I should have done it myself.

[Mikolaj]

Don't worry, I delete random things on impulse all the time.
