Summary

Using the REPL is currently cumbersome: after logging into a Nix shell and launching cabal repl, one needs to manually import all modules that one might want to use, one by one.

Steps to reproduce

• Log into a Nix shell
• Launch cabal repl
• Try to use a function defined in some Gargantext module without fully qualifying the name (i.e. use runCmd, not Gargantext.Database.Prelude.runCmd)

What is the current bug behavior?

The function is not found, instead one gets error: Variable not in scope

What is the expected correct behavior?

The function is found

Possible fixes

Write a file .ghci at the root of the project, importing the needed modules. GHCi should read and execute its content everytime it is run.
