Note: we need to update this regex to include up-to-date "excludes" setting in nix config. The current Nix config ignores more files than these.

I don't think this works. It will use the HLS binary in your path, not the development build

it seems this can make it not use the PATH one:
haskell-language-server/haskell-language-server.cabal

No, that won't help. cabal run does not change the environment, as far as I know.
You can do cabal exec cabal run h-l-s:func-test -- -- -p ... and it will work sometimes

cabal rundoes not change the environment, as far as I know.
It seems so: haskell/cabal#5411 (comment). It works for cabal test but no for cabal run iiuic that comment
You can do
cabal exec cabal run h-l-s:func-test -- -- -p ...and it will work sometimes
It works enough times to update the instructions? are you are referring to the fact cabal exec will not rebuild the executable and you could end using a older version?

Moreover with cabal-install-3.8, test arguments will not trigger a rebuild

I believe cabal exec does trigger a rebuild, but it fails with weird errors in some cases.
Uh oh!
