Hi, thank you for the report. I am not a Mac user myself, but your error seems conceptually similar to chpatrick/haskell-hidapi#3. Are you able to separately build the hidapi library (Hackage)?

[Hakimba]

I just try to "cabal build" haskell-hidapi and it works well

[Hakimba]

I succeed to launch the functions of the test files (for example, i'm able to play with LeftJoyCon) , with stack ghci, but stack test or cabal test do not work, it's really weird. Another question, there is no documentation for your code ?

[typedbyte]

Indeed, this is weird. Under Windows 10, both stack and cabal work just fine. I am glad that it worked out for you, at least somehow. Let's keep the issue open until we figure out what exactly is going on.

Regarding your question: The documentation of public-facing types and functions can be found on Hackage. All the internal stuff is mainly the parsing logic for the reverse engineered protocol.
