Can't expand macros compiled by previous versions of Scala - scala

I changed my Scala version from 2.10.x to 2.11.8. I am getting some compilation issues. I tried, but still not able to resolve because I am poor in Scala and sbt.
WebService.scala:36: can't expand macros compiled by previous versions of Scala
[error] logger.error(s"WebService.getSiteData(${Id}): Unknown Error, Error Message: $e")
What might be the issue here?

I resolved this issue but it not a single thing, I did couple of things:
First I gone through the error location in WebService.scala.
Then to the corresponding "Logger" class.
I check from which jar that "Logger" class coming.
I found that it referring to some thing else jar than what I am expecting.
That jar is coming from one of my dependent project (modules) so in build.sbt, those dependent jars I excluded that wrong jar which I found.
After I changed the code in WebService.scala, I removed that import for logger and added new import having Logger what I expecting. I did same all the other places in my project.
WebService.scala:36: can't expand macros compiled by previous versions of Scala
[error] logger.error(s"WebService.getSiteData(${Id}): Unknown Error, Error Message: $e")
This is not particular to logger issue. If you are getting "can't expand macros compiled by previous versions of Scala" issue", you have to do same procedure for corresponding to your error (my case logger).
First time, I search online regarding this issue, I found same issue facing lot of people, but different library classes (I face Logger class issue).

error: ';' expected but double literal found

I am learning Scala and I am using typesafe activator to run the programs. I have my first program in the below path <downloads>\typesafe-activator-1.3.7\activator-dist-1.3.7\simple scala project\scala-2.11\Simple_scala_project.scala
Below is the program content
object Simple_scala_project {
def main (args:String): Unit =
{ println("My first scala program") }
}
when I am running the below command in the command line I am getting the error
scala -cp <downloads>\typesafe-activator-1.3.7\activator-dist-1.3.7\simple scala project\scala-2.11 Simple_scala_project
:1: error: ';' expected but double literal found.
Please help me in this.
I noted a similar error when I inadvertently placed a line including "sbt.version=1.3.13" (in my case) in the wrong file. I realize now that it should have gone into a folder insider my overall project folder called "project", inside a file called "build.properties" (instead of in "build.sbt").
The take-away from this is that I don't think you experienced a compiler error at all, but an error owing to some files in the project setup. Better SBT documentation may be found here.
It's absolutely true that SBT isn't needed for very simple examples, and indeed offends the sensibilities of ones volunteering to learn a new language (soon to be improved, Scala 3.x, not a hundred other extraneous technologies. I find IntelliJ Idea Community to be a boost, here, since its Scala support is first-rate, and will create simple example projects for you in a variety of ways Installing Scala / Installing Scala plugin for Idea.

Unable to use ScalaCheck with Scala IDE for Eclipse

I'm trying to follow the instructions in this guide http://lamp.epfl.ch/files/content/sites/lamp/files/teaching/progfun/ScalacheckTutorial.html
in order to use ScalaCheck in Scala IDE.
However, when I create the first file StringSpecification.scala, with this code:
package pp.scalacheck
import org.scalacheck._
import Prop.forAll
object StringSpecification extends Properties("String") {
property("startsWith") = forAll { (x: String, y: String) =>
(x + y).startsWith(x)
}
}
I get the following error in Scala IDE:
bad symbolic reference to scala.util.parsing encountered in class file
'CmdLineParser.class'. Cannot access term parsing in package
scala.util. The current classpath may be missing a definition for
scala.util.parsing, or CmdLineParser.class may have been compiled
against a version that's incompatible with the one found on the
current classpath. (NOTE: It looks like the scala-parser-combinators
module is missing; try adding a dependency on "org.scala-lang.modules"
: "scala-parser-combinators". See
http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/scala-2.11.html for more
information.)

I'm using the latest stable version of Scla IDE (for Eclipse) (3.0.4), ScalaCheck (2.11-1.11.6) and Scala (2.11.2), and I'm running on Windows.
What could be causing this error?
When I added this jar to the project I was able to build the example files:

Scala error: class file is broken, bad constant pool index

I'm trying to call the Selenium Java libraries from Scala. I'm using Scala IDE (Eclipse), and Scala 2.10.2. What is causing this compiler error?
error while loading Function, class file '/Dev/selenium-2.35.0/libs/guava-
14.0.jar(com/google/common/base/Function.class)' is broken
(class java.lang.RuntimeException/bad constant pool index: 0 at pos: 479)
Sometimes I fix broken class file errors by including more jars -- jars that javac would not need to see, but apparently scalac does. But is this case I don't know what other jars I can add.
Found the answer. It's caused by this: https://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/issues/detail?id=1095. The error disappeared when I added the jsr305 jar.
RobN's answer is correct, but I thought I'd write a little bit longer answer with my own experiences. This is related to this question and discussions on Guava issues 776 and 1095 mentioned by RobN.
I had this same problem trying to access
com.google.common.io.BaseEncoding.base64()
Eclipse claims the base64 member does not exist and Gradle build
produces the error in the question:
[ant:scalac] error: error while loading BaseEncoding, class file
'.../guava-16.0.jar(com/google/common/io/BaseEncoding.class)' is broken
The error is caused by optional dependency on some annotations in Guava's pom.xml. As explained in this answer, Java compiler ignores
annotations for which corresponding class file is not found, but Scala compiler
requires the defitions to compile.
Explicitly adding the dependency that is optional should solve the problem.
In this particular case Guava's pom.xml has following optional dependency and adding the dependency declarations below to your project will solve the problem:
Gradle:
compile 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.2'
Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.findbugs</groupId>
<artifactId>jsr305</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>

import lift mapper caught an error missing jar file

hi im creating a lift scala application
this is my problem
when i import net.liftweb.mapper._ package the compiler gives me error...
i tried to add lift-mapper_2.9.1-2.4-M4.jar jar file to build path ,but the error exists..!
the compiler shows..
bad symbolic reference. A signature in package.class refers to term db in package net.liftweb which is not available. It may be completely missing from
the current classpath, or the version on the classpath might be incompatible with the version used when compiling package.class.
Try to add the mapper via SBT or maven configuration?
Anyway, Scala-2.9.1 and Lift 2.4-M4 are very-very out of date. Better use something like that for a good start: https://github.com/lift/lift_25_sbt/
It works out of the box, and you'll only have to add 1 line to add the mapper support for it. (After that, all dependencies would be downloaded and added to the project automatically, by SBT.)

strange error message: bad symbolic reference. A signature in package.class refers to term apache in package org which is not available

When I tried to compile simple typesafe' akka program (scala 2.10, akka, 2.1.0):

val mina = system.actorOf(Props[MyEndPoint])
three errors found
The code on line 21:
val mina = system.actorOf(Props[MyEndPoint])
(The same program was compiled correctly in Eclipse, so the source code is OK)
Most likely some jar file is missing in -cp variable. The question is what mean that strange/useless error message.
Thanks, Tomas
The message says "There's no package org.apache in my classpath, and I need it while reading file package.class". Pass -Ylog-classpath to scalac and look at what is the real classpath that gets to the compiler.
To me it was JDK not set on PATH neither JAVA_HOME
You can add JAVA_HOME to point to your JDK root folder and add jdk/bin folder (wich inludes javac) directly to the path.
You can refer to the Oracle docs for instruccions on how to add the path
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/windows/jdk-installation-windows.html
In case this helps anyone in the future, I was having this problem with an application I adopted after adding a new class. It turned out that the capitalization in the package name in each class within the package and the actual directory structure were different. Once I lower-cased all of the directory it started working again.
First time Scala user. I had some problems in configuring my eclipse and I used to get:
Error:scalac: bad symbolic reference. A signature in package.class refers to type compileTimeOnly
in package scala.annotation which is not available.
It may be completely missing from the current classpath, or the version on
the classpath might be incompatible with the version used when compiling package.class.
Finally found that scala test version 2.11 and compiler version should match.
