File generator task: "sourceGenerators in Compile" added task runs twice - scala

I made a sbt plugin for play frameworks, which has got a sbt task who generates a scala object. Sbt task should run everytime when sources get compiled. Actually when sourceGenerators runs, task get called twice in one compile process.
Code to add task to sourceGenerators:
sourceGenerators in Compile <+= (myFileGeneratorTask in Compile)
I'm using Twirl to generate templates in Playframework. I'm thinking sourceGenerators runs twice because Twirl rerun sourceGenerators process. Am I right or is there another reason why sourceGenerators run my sbt task twice?
How do I have to involve a sbt task which generates a source into sourceManaged, into compile process? So that every time when sourceGenerators in Compile starts, my scala object is known by sourceGenerators without running twice?

How to run sbt assembly by excluding integration test

I am looking to create fat jar by 'sbt assembly' but i dont wan to run integration test in sbt assembly. I want only jar file.
You can either disable tests in your build.sbt using assembly / test := {} as suggested by #laughedelic, or if you're executing from a terminal and want to skip to the tests for that build use: sbt 'set test in assembly := {}' assembly.
If you have set the value in your build.sbt file you can check that its value is as expected by running sbt show assembly / test which should return something like ().

scoverage: Combine Coverage from test and it:test

I splitted my Unit- and Integration-Tests with a Filter:
lazy val FunTest = config("it") extend Test
def funTestFilter(name: String): Boolean = name endsWith "Spec"
def unitTestFilter(name: String): Boolean = name endsWith "Test"
...
testOptions in Test := Seq(Tests.Filter(unitTestFilter)),
testOptions in FunTest := Seq(Tests.Filter(funTestFilter)),
...
So I can do something like that:
sbt clean coverage test dockerComposeUp it:test dockerComposeStop coverageReport
Sadly that kills all my Coverage, only the generated BuildInfo has a Coverage.
Using only sbt clean coverage test coverageReport or sbt clean coverage it:test coverageReport work as expected.
The whole project can be found here: https://github.com/pme123/play-binding-form
scoverage Version: 1.5.1
SBT supports incremental compilation, but Scoverage does not support it. Scoverage clears instrumentation information before compilation starts and starts instrumentation process from scratch every time. Compilation of a subset of all classes with Scoverage enabled will result in wrong coverage reports.
In this case sbt-buldinfo plugin is enabled in server module. It registers source generator, which is executed before every compilation and generates server/target/scala_2.12/src_managed/main/sbt-buildinfo/BuildInfo.scala file.
SBT BuildInfo plugin is smart enough to regenerate this file only when its content changes, but since BuildInfoOption.BuildTime is included in buildInfoOptions setting,
this file is regeneraged before every compilation.
When it comes to compilation process, compiler finds one modified file (BuildInfo.scala) every time and starts incremental compilation of this one file. Scoverage clears its previous instrumentation information and saves only information about BuildInfo.scala file.
In case of execution like sbt clean coverage test dockerComposeUp it:test dockerComposeStop coverageReport the first compilation process is part of test task, and the second one it:test task. That's why there is no problem, when they are used separately.
Docker has nothing to do with our problem.
To fix the problem you have to prevent from BuildInfo.scala file regeneration on every compilation, at least when coverage is enabled.
I did it by modifying project/Settings.scala file in this way:
private lazy val buildInfoSettings = Seq(
buildInfoKeys := Seq[BuildInfoKey](name, version, scalaVersion, sbtVersion),
buildInfoOptions ++= { if (coverageEnabled.value) Seq() else Seq(BuildInfoOption.BuildTime) }, // <-- this line was changed
buildInfoOptions += BuildInfoOption.ToJson,
buildInfoPackage := "pme123.adapters.version"
)
buildInfoOptions does not include BuildTime option when coverage is turned on.
It doesn't look elegeant, but it works. You can probably find better way.
instead of having different buildinfo objects depending on the phase, which could lead to compilation errors, you can use your own build time.
lazy val buildTime: SettingKey[String] = SettingKey[String]("buildTime", "time of build")
ThisBuild / buildTime := ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneOffset.UTC).toString
buildInfoKeys :=
Seq[BuildInfoKey](
name,
version,
scalaVersion,
sbtVersion,
buildTime
)
This should resolve this issue.
I have this configuration in a project of mine because I wanted a better control over the way the date is formatted, and I don't have the same issue

SBT plugin how to make a source generator dependent on project's sources?

I'm trying to create a source generator in a SBT plugin that generate code based on the project's sources.
I tried something like this:
sourceGenerators in Compile += (sources in Compile) map { sources => doSomethingWithSources(sources) }
Unfortunately, SBT does not want to load this plugin due to the fact that there exists circular dependency.
Due to this fact I've created another task like this:
lazy val myTask = TaskKey[Unit]("myTask", "Do stuff")
This tasks actually depends on the sources value and generates the files.
Later I override the projectSettings value and add this:
myTask in Compile := {
val sourcesValue = (sources in Compile).value
doSomethingWithSources(sourcesValue)
},
sourcesGenerators in Compile += Def.task(Seq(new File("path/to/myGeneratedSource.scala"))).taskValue
I add this task as the dependency to the compile task in the build.sbt of the project that I want my plugin to do stuff like this:
compile in Compile <<= (compile in Compile) dependsOn (myTask in Compile)
While it works (the file is generated), when I launch the sbt command sbt run, it creates the file but does not compile it.
What is more, when I run just sbt compile run, it compiles only the project on the first (compile) task and generates my source and then on run part it compiles the generated source - so, in matter of speaking, it does somehow work, but it needs two compilations.
I'd like to ask if there is a simpler way to do this and, if not, how to make it work in only one compilation.

Running tests from jar with "sbt testOnly" in SBT?

As part of a CI setup the very first step is to create a package/jar using SBT dist. The following steps are to run unit, integration and functional tests with the dist-created jar.
Is it possible to do that with SBT?
Normally I use sbt testOnly "Unit.*", but that works in the context of a project. I can't find any documentation showing how to do this when there is already a jar.
I'm using ScalaTest and I know there is a runner for it I could use http://www.scalatest.org/user_guide/using_the_runner. But using SBT would be simpler, if that is possible.
As an example, something like this is what I am looking for:
sbt testOnly "Unit.* -jar myjar.jar"
Will my tests even be included in the jar when I use the following:
sbt dist
?
EDIT
I created a new folder
I added build.sbt with the following content:
name := "abc"
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
scalaVersion := "2.10.0"
I added the lib folder and copied my tests jar into it
I ran sbt testOnly Unit.*
It could not find any tests
EDIT 2
I tried with the following "proper" SBT file:
name := "ihs2tests"
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
scalaVersion := "2.10.0"
unmanagedBase in Test := new java.io.File(".")
and moved test.jar into the root of the project. Again, no tests found.
Normally I use sbt testOnly "Unit.*", but that works in the context of a project. I can't find any documentation showing how to do this when there is already a jar.
The test-family tasks in SBT (with testOnly as an example) work with compile task that returns a list of compiled files through an sbt.inc.Analysis instance. I couldn't figure out how to amend it and inject the changed Analysis instance to testOnly so it knows the test I'm going to run exists.
I'm proposing another solution - a trick.
Package the tests classes to a jar with test:package task as follows:

When you have the test jar, you can execute the test framework on the command line without SBT (I assume you use ScalaTest given the scalatest tag, but I'll use Specs2). Read the documentation of the test framework on how to do it and for Specs2 it's specs2.run as described in Console output.
Executing tests from the test jar requires defining a proper CLASSPATH that may or may not be easy to get right. That's where SBT can be of great help - to manage dependencies and hence the CLASSPATH.
Create another SBT project and save the test jar in lib subdirectory to have it on CLASSPATH (as described in Unmanaged dependencies).
Dependencies in lib go on all the classpaths (for compile, test, run, and console).
Add a sample build.sbt where you define your test framework as a dependency of the project. For Specs2 it's as follows (I used the default configuration as described in the Specs2 home page):
libraryDependencies += "org.specs2" %% "specs2" % "2.3.8" % "test"
scalacOptions in Test ++= Seq("-Yrangepos")
The trick is to execute the main class of the test framework, e.g. specs2.run for Specs2, as if the class were executed on the command line. SBT helps with test:runMain.
[my-another-project]> test:runMain specs2.run HelloWorldSpec
[info] Running specs2.run HelloWorldSpec

Don't worry about this Exception as it comes from SBT that catches exit from Specs2 (after test execution) so SBT remains up.
It seems that SBT can't read jar file without any additional/manual setup - I might be wrong but I didn't find anything in the docs. So I tried something like this to make the task simpler:
unzip some-test.jar
java -jar sbt-launch.jar \
'set scalaSource in Test := new java.io.File(".")' \
'set fullClasspath in Test += Attributed.blank(file("."))' \
'test'
This runs without errors but does not find tests.
If I add 'set includeFilter in (Test, unmanagedSources) := "*Suite*.class"' to force it to find tests it obviously fails because it expects *.scala files, not the compiled *.class files.
I'm not an SBT expert, but I think this must be close to a solution. There must be a way to read all files from a jar path programmatically and then tell test framework to use *.class files.
At this point is seems more reasonable to run tests using a Scalatest test runner or from sbt using the project.
If you wish to dig deeper take a look at SBT source code and the default sbt shell script that does lots of setup before it runs the sbt launcher jar.

How to make compile task depend on some other task in sbt?

For example, I need to do some pre-processing of source files before compiling. How do I ensure that sbt always runs this task before compile if compile was requested?
Here's what I do to make sure my tests are run before I publish locally:
publishLocal <<= publishLocal dependsOn (test in Test)
For you I think you'd need something like
compile <<= compile dependsOn (myTask in myContext)
