Brittany is not initialised with stack default extensions

[santiweight]

I am unsure whether this is a feature request or a bug...

VS Code - haskell extension

Bug repro

https://github.com/santiweight/hls-bug-brittany

See the diff for the most recent commit

Contents of hie.yaml:

cradle:
  stack:
    component: "hls-bug-brittany:lib"

Steps to reproduce

Have a syntactic extension (e.g. PatternSynonyms) in package.yaml's default extensions and then pretty print using Brittany.

Expected behaviour

Pretty printing should occur

Actual behaviour

Error prints:

Perhaps you meant to use PatternSynonyms?

[Ailrun]

Is {- # LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-} correct pragma?
I think that's invalid...

[santiweight]

This was simply so you can enable/disable easily - it's a comment until you remove the whitespace

[santiweight]

The point being that since the extension was inactive (the pragma was commented out), the bug arose

[Ailrun]

Sorry, I have misread the issue. So the problem is that Brittany does not recognize the extension in package.yaml, right?
Then I would say this one is more like an enhancement than a bug, as the original Brittany command also requires an extra config file with an extension list to apply them by default.

[santiweight]

@Ailrun I believe this to be the case. I'm not aware whether hls picks up the config in package.yaml. If so, this might not be such a hard enhancement. I can always take a look if someone is willing to point me somewhere in the code :)

Afaik this should be closed by #1362, @santiweight could you confirm brittany honours stack default extensions?
