hjsmin-0.2.0.3 test suite failure

[peti]

Citing from https://hydra.nixos.org/build/103546286:

Running 1 test suites...
Test suite test-cli: RUNNING...
test-cli: /build/hjsmin-0.2.0.3/dist-newstyle: getDirectoryContents:openDirStream: does not exist (No such file or directory)
Test suite test-cli: FAIL

It looks like maybe there is a file or directory missing from the release tarball? Or maybe some other hard-coded path does not exist?

I suspect that is due to using an old version of cabal. I am using cabal version 3.0 and the follow works fine:

cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/erikd/hjsmin
cd hjsmin/
cabal build 
cabal test --test-show-details=direct

(also builds correctly in CI btw).

git clone https://github.com/erikd/hjsmin

Keep in mind that I am not building from a git checkout. I compile a release tarball from Hackage, which may not have the same files as your git repo does.

This issue still exists when building with the nixpkgs haskell infrastructure on the latest haskell-updates branch (after removing the dontCheck override to ensure that tests are run during the build):

I don't (willingly) use Nix. Unless you can recreate this from a git checkout or the Hackage tarball I will not be spending any time on this.
