Don't print 'Up to date' in 'cabal run'

[chshersh]

When running executables with cabal run, it prints an annoying line Up to date line, messing with the output and making it look less pretty.

The cabal exec command, however, doesn't print this line, make the output nicer. The cabal run command, is more preferred, as it guarantees to run the latest version of the executable and compiles it if needed.

Comparison from one of the executables:

cabal run

❯ cabal run simple-grep -- -f iris.cabal -s iris

I tried to check the code to see if it's possible to fix this log quickly. However, it seems like it's buried deep inside, and I'm not sure what is the best way to fix it.

Thanks for the report! It's a dup of #4994, which was fixed, and the fix should be released as a part of cabal-install 3.10. I suggest we close.

Nice to hear, it's closed! Wasn't aware there is a duplicate. I'm happy to close 🙌🏻

@chshersh sure, no worries. If you have GHCup at hand, you can add the prerelease channel (see their guide) and check out cabal-install 3.9, a prerelease that should have this patch. That way we can double check that everything is going as planned.
