Stack Haddock - Do not generate docs for dependencies

Question

I am generating my haddocks with:

stack haddock --no-haddock-deps

My understanding of this option from the help:

Enable/disable building Haddocks for dependencies

would be that it would not generate haddocks for any dependencies. But this is not the case. It generates two html files:

Updating Haddock index for local packages in /myDir/.stack-work/install/x86_64-osx/lts-6.16/7.10.3/doc/index.html Updating Haddock index for local packages and dependencies in /myDir/.stack-work/install/x86_64-osx/lts-6.16/7.10.3/doc/all/index.html

I do not want docs for the dependencies. Only my modules. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Those are just index files, containing links to all of the available documented modules. The creation of a local packages + dependencies index does not mean that it is in fact creating documentation for the dependencies, just that it's updating that index for your local packages.
