agda2hs fails unless agda or agda2hs is run first

[bwbush]

The first execution of agda2hs fails for this code:

$ find -type f -name \*.agdai -delete

$ agda2hs --local-interfaces --library-file=$AGDA_LIBS --compile-dir=peras-hs/src src/Peras/QCD/Node/Specification.agda

Success also occurs if agda is run and then agda2hs is run:

This sounds like an upstream issue in Agda rather than a bug in agda2hs itself. Perhaps it could be fixed by agda/agda#7251?

[jespercockx]

@bwbush Could you provide a minimized reproducer for this issue? Otherwise it is not really possible to look deeper into it.

Alternatively, you could try to use a patched version of agda2hs that includes the patch to base agda I mentioned above.
