Does anybody know where I can find documentation about "shadowing" of givens using import statements in Scala 3? I checked the implicit-resolution document but that does not seem very enlightening.

Hey there, I'm having an odd problem with taking user input in the terminal. I'm using scala.io.StdIn.readLine() method to prompt the user for interaction but it doesn't work as expected. I can type something in and press ENTER but nothing happens afterwards. Looks like everything after the readLine() is not being called anymore.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using Java 11 and Scala 2 and 3. I also tried to google the problem but I couldn't find a solution yet. I was hoping that someone here had the same strange issue and might have a solution.

@daymo can you share a small code that reproduces the problem?

daymo

@daymo

@BalmungSan Of course, here is the simplest example. I suppose it's rather an Ubuntu/JVM problem than a Scala one but I wasn't able to find a solution yet. Some suggested it's a Java Compat problem, Jline thing etc but I tried all that and still no success... Is the bash broken?

import scala.io.StdIn.readLine

object ConsoleApp extends App {
  print("Enter your first name: ")
  val firstName = readLine()

  // This is never run. Why?
  print("Enter your last name: ")
  val lastName = readLine()

  println(s"Your name is $firstName $lastName")
}

@daymo sorry for the late response, how are you running this code?

@laiboonh

I have a multi project sbt as such

lazy val root = (project in file(".")).settings().aggregate(foo, bar).dependsOn(foo, bar)
// sub-project in the Foo subdirectory
lazy val foo = (project in file("Foo")).settings()
// sub-project in the Bar subdirectory
lazy val bar = (project in file("Bar")).settings()

I created a case class inside bar module simply

object Models {
  case class Example(s:String)
}

When i try to refer to it in root module

package com.example.root

import Models._

case class RootExample(example: Example)

I get

not found: object Models
not found: type Example

This is very puzzling. Why are classes in foo not visible in root even though i specified dependsOn in sbt

Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez

@BalmungSan

@laiboonh maybe because you are also aggregating them?
I haven't see the two used at the same time.

Anyways, you may want to ask in the #tooling channel of the Discord server: https://discord.gg/7aUsmzyD

@laiboonh

I figured out the behaviour. For it to be visible in a package. The object Models have to be in a package as well. By moving it to a package in bar module makes it visible. Very odd behaviour i feel

Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez

@BalmungSan

Very odd behaviour i feel

Why?

How did you expect it to be visible if it was not in the same package?

daymo

@daymo

@BalmungSan I run the code with Mill v0.9.10

Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez

@BalmungSan

@daymo maybe that is the problem? I just tried with the plain compiler and it works.

Try putting that in a file called ConsoleApp.scala in a folder alone.

And then run:

scalac ConsoleApp.scala
scala ConsoleApp

And let me know if it runs as expected.

daymo

@daymo

@BalmungSan Hmm, that actually works as it is supposed to and that narrows the problem down even more. Any idea why running it with Mill would make such a huge difference? I will consult the Mill channel anyway...

Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez

@BalmungSan

Yeah all I know about Mil is its name and the name of its creator lol.

So yeah, the best is to consult there.

:) :wave:

@daymo

@BalmungSan No worries and thank you for your help.

I am completely new to Scala and SBT. I am trying to setup a built.sbt file so that sbt publish will push the maven style project to one remote repository if the build agent is a Jenkins and a different remote repository if the build agent is a GitHub action. I've spent about 6 hours on this today and I don't feel like I really understand much more about SBT and how to modify the behavior of sbt publish. Does anyone here have good example sbt projects or suggestions for learning more in regard to what I am trying to do?

Also are Seq() and Some() special sbt functions? I see those throughout the build.sbt files I have been looking at and I don't really know what they do.

Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez

@BalmungSan

So you don't even know basic Scala and yet you want to do a custom publishing which seem very complex (if even possible) to do...

I think you would need more help.

Anyways, you may want to ask in the #tooling channel of the discord server.

@BalmungSan

BTW according to the docs you should be able to do something like this:

publishTo := { if (isJenkins) Some(...) else Some(...) }

Now, not sure how are you going to check which is the runner.

Question about transparent inlining: I have a value x and a deserialized class object o fetched from a database. The fetch is polymorphic in that the object can be one of two distinct types, I don't know which one ahead of time. o has a method .foo(x) that expects a specific type of a value, depending on the type of o, and for that it has a safeguard method transparent inline cast[A](a: A) = inline erasedValue[A] match {...}. The question: given that the object is only known at runtime, is inlining going to do any good, or am I grossly misunderstanding it?

Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez

@BalmungSan

@DirtySoc so it seems you could do this:

publishTo := {
  scala.util.Properties
    .envOrNone(name = "GithubRunnerEnvVar")
    .fold(ifEmpty = Some(jenkinsRepository)) { _ =>
      Some(githubActionsRepository)
    }

any one know what does this mean?

I’m not sure ther precise name, but I’ve seen it referred to as a “rename import” or “import rename”. https://alvinalexander.com/scala/how-to-rename-members-import-scala-classes-methods-functions/

Is there a way to build a Map[K, V] by using the builders pattern, where I need to update a map key with a new value as I go along?

Basically what I want is items.foreach(item => mapBuilder.updateOrSet(item.key, set = 0, update = n => n + 1))

Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez

@BalmungSan

@megri you can do this:

items.foldLeft(Map.empty[K, V]) {
  case (acc, item) =>
    acc.updatedWith(key = item.key) {
      case Some(n) => Some(n + 1)
      case None => Some(0)
    }
}

No need to mutate.

Also, this seems it is doing some kind of word-count or something similar, right?

You should be able to just:

items.groupMapReduce(_.key)(_ => 1)(_ + _)

As I always say, the Scaladoc is your friend: https://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/collection/immutable/Map.html

Bonus: If you have cats in scope, you can just do:

items.foldMap(item => Map(item.key -> 1))

@megri

@BalmungSan Thanks, but I wanted a builder version specifically. I'm just coding for fun and part of that is exploring the standard library. Not having a way to build a map stumped me and I figured I had to be missing something, but maybe it's just an omission..

I think the underlying issue is that all collection builders return a base trait Builder, which has no specific knowledge of maps for instance. So when you do Map.newBuilder[String, Int] you end up with a Builder[(String, Int), Map[String, Int]], which has no knowledge of maps specifically.

Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez

@BalmungSan

@megri Well if you add a new key-value pair whose key was already present it overwrite the previous key.

Also, under the hood a MapBuilder is just a mutable map that also has a mutable version of the method I explained above,

Anyways, Builders are intended for the stdlib itself, not really for users.

So that is why there is no specific builder for Map with the method you want.
