Need help from 0.18 users of package.elm-lang.org

[evancz]

I have been working on package.elm-lang.org to improve reliability.

If you are using 0.18 or lower, can you try running your normal commands with the following environment variable set?

http_proxy=http://package.elm-lang.org:8018 elm-make src/Main.elm

Please let me know if everything works as expected!

Context

There are two Haskell servers running on package.elm-lang.org right now. One to handle users of 0.18 and below, and another to handle everything else. The draft improvements combine these into a single binary that is significantly easier to build, putting us in a better position if there is some big unforeseen issue. So the endpoint here is testing that this unified version works as expected.

Hi,

I could build a 0.18.0 project as well as a 0.17.1 project successfully with the http_proxy variable in place.

I cleared caches elm-stuff and $HOME/.elm before attempting to build them, as otherwise I have found that the http_proxy variable had no effect.

Everything worked as expected!

http_proxy=http://package.elm-lang.org:8018

Same here, I built an elm 0.18.0 project successfully after wiping ~/.elm and elm-stuff. (And setting the port to a different value caused things to fail properly, so I’m pretty confident it actually used the specified server.)
