Add scalacheck dependency to gradle project - scala

I am trying to use scalaCheck (https://github.com/rickynils/scalacheck) to a gradle project. However, adding it this way:
dependencies {
...
compile group: 'org.scalacheck', name: 'scalacheck_2.11', version: '1.12.5'
...
}
doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I also tried to add it in a maven project. In both cases, trying to do the following
import org.scalacheck.Prop.forAll
reports the error
object scalacheck is not a member of package org
I ran "gradle dependencies" before trying to import it, and it seemed to download everything just fine, finishing the command without throwing errors. Is there a way to add scalacheck to my project and if so, how?
Note: not sure if relevant, but I am using Eclipse Neon with all the scala plugins.

(So it seems the problem was with using the eclipse gradle integration.) You have to manually update the project by using the Gradle | Refresh Gradle Project from the project's context menu on each dependency change (though it might be useful to do that on each change to gradle configuration files).

Chisel: Compiling Chisel library on Windows

I have been using sbt on windows and a custom build.sbt script in conjunction with an import Chisel._ in the top-level file in order to generate Verilog from my Chisel source successfully.
I'm trying to get an IDE working on Windows to expedite Chisel development. I've gone with the Eclipse based SCALA IDE http://scala-ide.org/download/sdk.html/
I want to compile the Chisel library so that the import Chisel._ can be resolved locally, without having to go off and download the source from the repository each timeand recompile the source. When I download the Chisel-master repo from Git and include the src\main folder in my SCALA project in the SCALA IDE, I get lots of syntax errors in the Chisel SCALA files that prevent me from building the project.
Has anyone done anything like this before on Windows or have any knowledge of working with the SCALA IDE as it may just be a case of undefined symbols in the project configuration?
Not sure exactly what you did with build.sbt respect to recompile (I think it download it only the first time, then it caches it for the future). But I'm using ScalaIDE for Chisel on linux, using the default build.sbt files, maybe you can try to get it working out of the box first to help narrow down the issue.
Here are the steps I took in order to get ScalaIDE work with Chisel:
the latest Scala IDE uses 2.11.8, the current Chisel repository defaults to 2.11.7. So I had to change all the build.sbt reference to scalaVersion from 2.11.7 to 2.11.8
I used sbteclipse
https://github.com/typesafehub/sbteclipse
To create importable the workspace to setup the compilation dependencies.
Except for chiselFrontEnd. For some reason, this package is not added to the dependency. I have to Add chiselFrontEnd as a javabuildpath dependency manually (Properties/JavaBuildPath, under Projects) for my own projects.
To resolve undefined symbols, you can also add a JAR onto the project build path using Project Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add External JARs...
If you are getting your JARs through Maven / SBT, they should be in:
C:\Users\<name>\.ivy2\local\edu.berkeley.cs\chisel3_2.11\jars
If you are using publish-local with chisel3, your JARs should be in
C:\Users\<name>\.ivy2\cache\edu.berkeley.cs\chisel3_2.11\jars
Note that chisel3 is compiled into one JAR, including coreMacros and chiselFrontend sub-projects
Of course, this is a more quick-and-dirty solution compared to something that can parse SBT files.

Intellij sbt won't resolve dependencies' dependencies

I have a Intellij Scala project, that depends on another lib, which in turn depends on some other libs (gson, log4j...), but somehow Intellij won't add those transitive dependencies to my project, so when I run my main method, jvm always complains no class found. I also tried sbt update and sbt update-classifier, they won't resolve down the dependency path as well. How can I have sbt resolve all levels of dependencies?
If all works in SBT command lines but not in Idea then remove the .idea folder and reload the SBT project in Idea.
I should warn that you will loose the project configs (such as run configs) by doing that.
I finally figure out what was wrong, it was the sbt-s3-resolver plugin I was using couldn't resolve maven style dependencies, I used an another plugin which supports maven libs and it worked. But I still couldn't figure out why it worked before.

Intellij unable to resolve references to a specific jar file

In a given project that is driven by sbt there is some kind of corruption in the project libraries specifically for a MavenLocal repository used for kafka-spark-9.7.2.jar in which:
references to the classes provided by that jar are marked as "symbol not found" by the editor parser
however the editor (strangely) does offer to import the classes
but after accepting the import, the symbols are still marked in red as unresolved.
The following attempts to "clean things up" have already been performed:
Build | Make Project
Build | Rebuild Project
In addition I have verified that the project does build from
sbt package
on the command line
UPDATE After re-running sbt gen-idea the librraries are still not found by the Parser. yet the libraries exist -even IJ knows about them as shown in the following screenshot. Why is it that IJ can find the library
C:\Users\S80035683\.ivy2\cache\org.apache.kafka\kafka\jars\kafka-0.7.2-spark.jar!\kafka\api\FetchRequest.class
However IJ is unable to resolve any classes from that library in the Parser?
You have to build the project for Intellij, try to do this in your project root:
sbt idea with-sources=yes
This should build the project structure from scratch and add the right dependencies, usually I refresh the project after adding a dependency or a jar.
Edit:
To use the command you need this plugin, otherwise you can use gen-idea but I used it only a few times and I'm not sure how it will work out.
Edit2:
There was some confusion, first, for the IDEA SBT console you don't need to prepend the sbt command since you already are inside sbt:
If you have the sbt plugin for idea you can use gen-idea with-source=yes (without prepending sbt)
From the terminal, either you go to your project root and type sbt to enter the sbt console and use gen-idea or idea with-sources=yes (without prepending sbt)
or directly sbt gen-idea or if you have the plugin sbt idea with-sources=yes (prepending sbt)
To reach the sbt console inside idea you need to install the sbt plugin on preferences -> plugin and search for sbt and then View -> Tool Windows -> SBT Console:
To start the console click on the play button, to kill the console on the skull.
I had the same problem. I fixed it by directly writing the CLASSES and SOURCES of the problematic library. This can be found in .idea/libraries/SBT__<problematic library>_jar.xml

Editing Build.scala in Intellij

I want to migrate our build from maven to SBT, so now I work separatedly on Build.scala file. However I don't benefit from any syntax highlighting (that is quite obvious, I don't have SBT in my classpath). What is the correct way to get SBT to my classpath, adding sbt-launch.jar does not seem to help.
IntelliJ 13 has built-in SBT support; if you're running a lower version, then you can have a look at their sbt plugin.
There's also an sbt plugin on github for generating idea project files. I've had success with running the gen-idea task it provides.
Run sbt gen-idea. It will create a "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME - build" project within your main project (for whatever your YOUR_PROJECT_NAME happens to be). Under the project folder of the build project, I was able to write a Build.scala with the following code:
import sbt._
object Build extends Build {
}
The SBT Build trait is recognized just fine. I'm running IntelliJ 13 build #IU-133-696, Scala plugin 0.30.378.
Eventually what I did is finished to write my build.sbt stub, and opened a project with it. Now everything seem to work.

Can JetGradle Be Used In IntelliJ 12 Alongside Gradle Generated Project Files That Have Scala Facets?

I've been trying to make the switch to IntelliJ and Gradle for the Java/Scala projects at my company. From the command line Gradle has been great but I've run into a problem when using Gradle with IntelliJ and projects with Scala facets.
I've tried importing projects in both ways and the only one I've been able to get Scala facets working is to run:
gradle idea
using the Gradle IDEA plugin. After that all I need to do it open the ipr file for the project and the projects work fine.
However, there are some Gradle tasks that I would like to run from within IntelliJ for various things (code generation being the biggest one). I would like to be able to use JetGradle to run those tasks. The problem is when I link the Gradle project to JetGradle, the dependencies in each project break the Scala facet's compiler settings.
It's a multi-module project. Here is the build.gradle for the parent:
allprojects {
apply plugin: 'idea'
version = '1.0'
group = 'company-x'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
And here's the build.gradle for the scala modules:
apply plugin: 'scala'
dependencies {
compile 'org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.10.1',
'org.scala-lang:scala-reflect:2.10.1',
'org.scala-lang:scala-compiler:2.10.1',
'org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:1.7.2',
'com.typesafe.akka:akka-actor_2.10:2.1.4'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.8.1',
'org.scalatest:scalatest:1.2'
}
Before linking the project to JetGradle the Scala facet is setup with a library called 'scala-compiler-2.10.1' that contains the Scala compiler, library, and reflect jars and src. After linking the project, the project libraries are replaced with all of the Gradle project dependencies. The Scala facet then gives the error:
Compiler library: no scala-library*.jar found
When I look at the libraries again, there is still a library called 'scala-compiler-2.10.1' but it's only the compiler. The library and reflect jars are now separated out.
Has anyone out there figured out how to get the Scala facet and JetGradle to play nicely with one another?
From this IntelliJ blog (Better Gradle Support in IntelliJ IDEA 12.1) it seems JetGradle is not ready to support Scala.
I'm waiting for IntelliJ 13.x and stick to Maven for the time being.
