haskell-language-server crashed in wsl: "clock_getres: invalid argument"

[Shangyint]

I am getting

The Haskell (haskell) server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted.

on a Windows Linux Subsystem (VERSION="18.04.2 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"). The log is as follows

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Looks like it might be the same issue this person is running into? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58811317/cant-use-quickcheck-because-of-clock-getress-invalidargument-exception

maybe the generic linux binaries does not work well in wsl, could you tried a installation from source to check if the error is reproduced?

I installed it manually using

./cabal-hls-install hls-8.8.4
./cabal-hls-install data

and encountered the same issue.

Seems to be a general issue with haskell + WSL, another example here: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-to-disable-running-tests-when-building-home-manager-module/6792

I think it is likely this issue microsoft/WSL#4898.

[jneira]

So it seems we can not do much here.

@1Computer1 microsoft/WSL#4898 seems to be closed, is this reproduced with a newer version of wsl?
