How does your develop-test cycle work?

I installed toodles globally, via cabal. Then I filed a bunch of issues, and felt like I ought to try contributing, so I cloned the source and made a tiny change (started to subdivide the code into modules, beginning by moving the types and instances to a separate file), and realized I don't know how to try out my changes.

I tried using "stack run toodles", and it works, but it scans the toodles folder. I'd like it to scan a different folder, but I can't figure out how to pass in the --directory= argument.

Should I remove that global installation, and run "stack install toodles" every time I want to try a changed version?

Awesome that you'd like to contribute 😀. My workflow doesn't interfere with any global toodles installation, so you can leave that as is.

My workflow:

1. Make some changes
2. stack build --fast && stack exec toodles -- -d <directory> Any args you want to pass to the end binary with stack goes after the --, which seems like the key piece of info you needed
3. repeat

Nice!
