[BSP only] `ScalaModule with RootModule` fails on Scala 3

[lolgab]

// build.sc
import mill._, scalalib._

object root extends RootModule with ScalaModule {
  def scalaVersion = "3.3.0"
}

Only when using BSP, Metals output gives this output:

It is trying to download the scalac plugin for scala 3. Does it mean that you can only have RootModules for Scala versions that are supported in the Mill build?

EDIT: RootModule with ScalaModule supports Scala 3 but BSP doesn't work correctly.

It is trying to download the scalac plugin for scala 3. Does it mean that you can only have RootModules for Scala versions that are supported in the Mill build?

This is the only option that makes sense. The root module is supposed to be loaded into the Mill classpath. It's the same with all Mill plugins.

Technically, we could support writing plugins and extension in other (compatible) Scala versions, but defining targets currently involves macros which only work for Scala 2.13, so we're not there yet.

[lihaoyi]

I don't think that's quite right. The MillBuildRootModule in the mill-build/build.sc is loaded in the Mill classpath and all, the RootModule in build.sc is just another module you can call targets on un-prefixed. It should not be pulling in Mill dependencies. It shouldn't even need to be a ScalaModule at all, and if the snippet given above fails that's definitely a bug

[lihaoyi]

FWIW, I just tested this in the Mill repo, and it seems to work as expected with a RootModule with ScalaModule

Using the dev.assembly gives the same results. @lolgab where are you seeing this failure?

[lefou]

Yeah, you're right. I mixed up MillBuildRootModule with RootModule.

[lolgab]

You are both right. I can't reproduce on Mill CLI. I noticed that this happens only when using BSP. So something is not right in BSP only.

[KaranAhlawat]

I stumbled upon this today myself, and for me, if I make the module extend RootModule, and then I try to do mill compile or mill run from the CLI, that also fails with the same error as originally stated.

[lihaoyi]

@KaranAhlawat can you minimize a repro so we can investigate it?

[KaranAhlawat]

It seems to have mysteriously fixed itself... Sorry for the unnecessary noise

[lolgab]

I've seen the same behaviour. It's somewhat intermittent.

[lefou]

I have some suspicion, since I currently try to adapt GenIdea to the new bootstrap process. It's unvalidated, but maybe we should check it. It could be, we sometimes use the wrong evaluator when evaluating tasks. E.g. in BSP, we search for all root modules and transitively collect other modules, then we only keep them for later resolution of sources, resources and classpaths. But depending on the root module, we need to use different evaluators (evaluator configs, e.g. root directory, classpath, etc.). I'm not sure this is always the case.

[lihaoyi]

Huh ok. I'm not sure what's happening, but perhaps the bootstrapping logic is putting in the wrong out folder path? Could be happening in either the BSP code path or CLI code path.

I suspect it's the BSP logic, because that would explain why i havent seen this: I'm still mostly using GenIdea

[lefou]

Take it with a grain of salt. I ran into this when trying to integrate the bootstrapping into GenIdea. I'm still in the middle of it. It could be, that it is better handled in BSP, but whoever tackles that issue, should validate this, as it might lead to hard-to-debug issues.

[daymo]

I'm seeing the same problem and I can provide an example to try out on your machines.

Metals is reporting the following: 2023.07.03 14:24:26 ERROR Mill command failed: /home/me/projects/scala/zio-scalafx/.metals/millw --mill-version 0.11.1 --import ivy:com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-bloop: mill.contrib.Bloop/install

[KaranAhlawat]

I think that's a Metals thing. It's using the wrong command. See Metal's #5376.

[daymo]

FYI: Just upgrade Metals: Server Version for the example project to latest 0.11.12+161-977d53e3-SNAPSHOT and I see different output but same result. Here is the Metals log.

Could be indeed a Metals/Bloop problem but it seems to work with SBT.

This looks like something completely different to me. Also, this issue is about mill.bsp.BSP, whereas your issue involves mill.contrib.bloop, which is not using Mill's BSP server at all. Can you please open a separate issue?

[daymo]

@lefou Sure. See #2649

[nornagon]

FWIW I am seeing this on a blank project with this build.sc:

import mill._, scalalib._

object main extends RootModule with ScalaModule {
  def scalaVersion = "3.3.0"
}

and running

$ ./millw mill.bsp.BSP/install
$ ./millw run

I can't reproduce. Here's my output:

@nornagon Can you provide your output?

[nornagon]

Oof, yeah, turns out like the other folks in this thread, I can't reliably reproduce this :(

It did happen repeatedly in my initial project until I rm -rf out and rebuilt. After that things seem fine.
