stack ghci reads in ~/.ghci but does not set def: values

[EdmundsEcho]

Steps to reproduce

from within a project root folder

> stack ghci

stack confirms it read the ~/.ghci file

within ghci

:cmdName

unknown command ':cmdName'.

Note:
stack ghci from my home directory works as expected. The .ghci file contents:

:set prompt "\ESC[0;34mλ> \ESC[m"
:def source readFile

-- Pretty printing of it
import IPPrint.Colored
:set -interactive-print=IPPrint.Colored.cpprint
:def cp (\_ -> return ":set -interactive-print=IPPrint.Colored.cpprint")
:def ncp (\_ -> return ":set -interactive-print=print")

Expected

the commands executed within ghci to be recognized.

Stack version

stack version 1.7.1
ghci version 8.4.3

Method of installation

> stack build --compiler-tool ghci-pretty

Hello,

I'm not sure what you mean by this:

stack confirms it read the ~/.ghci file
:cmdName

unknown command ':cmdName'.

Would you please explain in more detail, for me?

It may help to give the actual example commands from the ghci file, rather than cmdName.

Thank you for taking a look at the situation. I have updated the posted issue to clarify. I also included the .ghci configuration file contents. - E

Would you be able to try the following, instead?

> stack exec -- ghci

It would be helpful to see the stack.yaml for the project you're using. It would also be helpful to see your global stack.yaml, too. Would you be able to link that information, here?
