haskell - Could not find module `Data.Map' -- It is a member of the hidden package

Question

First, I created a new workspace:

stack new xxxx
stack init
stack build

then

cd xxxapp
stack ghci
import Data.Map

I can import other modules like Data.Char and Data.List, but I can't import Data.Map. GHCi told me:

Could not find module 'Data.Map'
 It is a member of the hidden package '[email protected]'.`

Answer 1

These general steps were helpful for me to resolve similar issues:

1. Use Hoogle or Stackage to find the package where the module resides

   Note that Hoogle and Stackage are case-sensitive. Looking up Data.Map in Hoogle yields a list similar to the one below. Stackage has a slightly different style, but the basics are the same (mostly because it also uses Hoogle for lookup).

The lines in green under the result headings show the name(s) of the containing

(1) package(s) (in small caps) and

(2) module(s) (capitalized).

2. Open project-name.cabal in project root and add required package under build-depends:

   library
     hs-source-dirs:
         src
   
     build-depends:
         base >= 4.7 && < 5
       , containers
   
     exposed-modules:
         Lib
   

3. Issue stack build to download and build dependencies

   (or stack ghci if you plan to use it in the REPL)
