I've got a List of classes I want to send down to a Scala Template in Play! Framework 2.2.3
however I ran into some issues while trying to do so.
The class I want the list to contain is an arbitrary class type that comes from a package outside of my workspace, but not natively from Java. See the picture below.
Note: I do not have a project/Build.scala file.
The above image represents the first line in my scala template, I have tried to use #import as well (#import com.***.***.type._, com.***.***.type.Version, etc) but to no avail.
This is the error message given to me by Play! Framework.
Is there an issue with the namespacing? Everything works fine when using classes located in my workspace.
The Paths are correct, I've double checked that. For reasons I cannot disclose more code in this region, if more information is required please ask for it and I'll edit the post.
The problem is related to package named type. This word is reserved in Scala as language keyword. You need to escape it like this:
#import List[com.your.package.`type`.Version]

I just put some of my code from a/b.dart to a/b1.dart file and now I started getting lot of errors on importing.
Is there any command or any other fix to import all a/b1.dart file in these files instead of manually opening each file and importing one by one.
I understand that a function or a property can be defined in more than two files and Dart can't make the right choice but if a function or property is defined in just one place, I think there must be some way to import it except searching for a/b.dart and replacing it with a/b.dart + a/b1.dart and then optimizing all imports.
As much as I am aware, Plugins/Extensions for your specific IDE (for dart) can be found that will help you with this problem.
I would recommend using dartdev tools - dartfix
I have one Fay file which is the heart of my program, however I need some helpers for my logic, for instance a method to replace substrings. From what I understand, if I need such methods which are offered by many Haskell libraries from Hackage directly, I can't use those Haskell libraries, but I must copy-paste the code in my project. So it's what I did, I copy-pasted a "replace" function together with other helpers from the MissingH library in a new file in my project: Utils.hs.
That Utils.hs compiles without problems with Fay. Also I import it in my main Fay file and I get a JS file for the main project file without problems. However at runtime I get the following error:
ReferenceError: Utils$$36$ is not defined
I don't think that Fay will include the code from the helper file in my main JS file, so I'm including both JS files in the loading HTML. And to make even more sure that when I load the main file, that the utils file is loaded, I load it like that:
$.getScript("Utils.js", function(){
$.getScript("FayConfig.js");
});
But despite this I still get the error. I tried compiling the Utils.hs with "--library" but it didn't help.
So my question is, which setup do I need to achieve that the generated JS will find the helper functions that I put in another HS file, knowing that at compile-time, Fay (apparently) finds them without problems? Is there an example of such a setup online? Most of the Fay uses that I found have all the code in a single HS file, though they often use external Fay code from cabal, as with fay-jquery. In my case, setting up a cabal project just for these simple helpers would be overkill.
Which version of Fay are you using (fay --version)? It seems like you are using a version older than
0.16 where forgetting import Prelude wouldn't give any warnings, see this closed ticket. So upgrade fay and/or add import Prelude.
We're also considering renaming operators in the produced output to make error messages like these easier to understand.
You do not need to invoke fay several times, fay outputs all dependencies into the same js file. So there's no difference from using a cabal package in that regard.
Hope this helps, otherwise please give me a way to reproduce this.
Today I cleared my .ivy cache and cleaned my project output targets. Since then I have been getting really strange behaviour when running tests with SBT or editing in the Scala IDE.
Given the following:
package com.abc.rest
import com.abc.utility.IdTLabel
I will get the following error:
object utility is not a member of package com.abc.rest.com.abc
Notice that com.abc is repeated twice, so it appears that the compiler uses the context of the current package when doing the import (maybe it's supposed to do this, but I never noticed it before).
Also, if I try to access classes in package com.abc from anywhere inside com.abc.rest (even using the full path) the compiler will complain that the type can not be found.
It appears that the errors only occur when I try to include files from parent packages. What I do find strange is that my code used to work. It only started happening after I cleaned up my project and my ivy cache, so maybe a later version of the compiler is more strict than the previous one.
I would love some ideas on what I can be doing wrong, or how I can go about troubleshooting this.
Update:
By first importing the parent classes and then defining the current package, the problem goes away:
import com.abc.utility.IdTLabel
import com.abs._
package com.abc.rest {
// Define classes belonging to com.abc.rest here
}
So this works, but I would still love to know why on earth the other way around worked, and then stopped working, and how on earth I can fix it. I had a good look, and could find no packages, objects or traits by the name of com anywhere inside the parent package.
Update relating to Worksheets:
Scala worksheets belonging to the same package share the same scope, which sounds obvious, but wasn't. Worksheets are not sand-boxed - they can see the project, and the project can see them. So all the 'test' object, traits, and classes you create inside the worksheet files, also becomes visible in the rest of the project.
I have so many worksheets that I did not even try to see where the problem came in. I simply moved them all to their own package, and like magic, the problem went away.
So, lesson learned for the day: If you create stuff inside worksheets, it's visible from outside the worksheet.
Anyway, this new found knowledge will come in handy, meaning anything 'interesting' can be build, monitored and tweaked inside the worksheet, while the rest of the project can actually use it. Quite cool actually.
It's still interesting to think how a sbt clean and cleaned up ivy cache managed to highlight the problem that was hidden before, but hey, that's another story....
(At the request of JacobusR, I'm making a proper answer out of my earlier comments).
This can happen if you have defined some class/trait/object inside package com.abc.rest.com. As soon as package com.abc.rest.com exists, and given that you are in package com.abc.rest, com would designate com.abc.rest.com as opposed to _root_.com. Fastest (but non-conclusive) way to check, without even scanning the source files, is to look for any .class files in the "com/abc/rest/com" sub-folder.
In particular you would get this behaviour if any of your files has duplicate package definitions (as in package com.abc.rest; package com.abc.rest; ...). If you have this duplicate package clause somewhere in the same file where you get the error, you wouldn't even see anything fishy with the .class files, as the failure at compiling the file would prevent the generation of .class files for any class definition inside the file.
The final bit of useful information is that as you found out the scala Worksheets are not sandboxed, and what you define in the worksheets affects your project's code (rather than only having the project's code affecting the worksheet). So a duplicate package clause in a worksheet could very well cause the error you got.
If package names conflict, there might be a custom error message for that. See if specifying the full path resolves the issue by starting from __root__. Ex. import __root__.com.foo.bar._
After migrating to Play-2.1 I stuck into problem that routes compiler stopped working for my routes file. It's been completely fine with Play-2.0.4, but now I'm getting the build error and can't find any workaround for it.
In my project I'm using cake pattern, so controller actions are visible not through <package>.<controller class>.<action>, but through <package>.<component registry>.<controller instance>.<action>. New Play routes compiler is using all action path components except for the last two to form package name that will be used in managed sources (as far as I can get code in https://github.com/playframework/Play20/blob/2.1.0/framework/src/routes-compiler/src/main/scala/play/router/RoutesCompiler.scala). In my case it leads to situation when <package>.<component registry> is chosen as package name, which results in error during build:
[error] server/target/scala-2.10/src_managed/main/com/grumpycats/mmmtg/componentsRegistry/routes.java:5: componentsRegistry is already defined as object componentsRegistry
[error] package com.grumpycats.mmmtg.componentsRegistry;
I made the sample project to demonstrate this problem: https://github.com/rmihael/play-2.1-routes-problem
Is it possible to workaround this problem somehow without dropping cake pattern for controllers? It's the pity that I can't proceed with Play 2.1 due to this problem.
Because of reputation I can not create a comment.
The convention is that classes and objects start with upper case. This convention is applied to pattern matching as well. Looking at a string there seems to be no difference between a package object and normal object (appart from the case). I am not sure how Play 2.1 handles things, that's why this is not an answer but a comment.
You could try the new # syntax in the router. That allows you to create an instance from the Global class. You would still specify <package>.<controller class>.<action>, but in the Global you get it from somewhere else (for example a component registry).
You can find a bit of extra information here under the 'Managed Controller classes instantiation': http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.1.0/Highlights
This demo project shows it's usage: https://github.com/guillaumebort/play20-spring-demo
I'm trying to work through groovy's Implementing Local AST Transformations tutorial, but whenever I clean my project I get this error in each file that has the #WithLogging annotation in it:
Groovy:Could not find class for Transformation Processor AC.LoggingASTTransformation declared by AC.WithLogging
So you have a package named "AC" that contains both "WithLogging.groovy" and "LoggingASTTransformation.groovy" classes? Does it also contain any classes that implement the "WithLogging" interface?
If so, I'd suggest you move the class(es) that use your annotation to a location outside of the annotation defining package (the default will suffice, for diagnostic purposes) - Order of compilation matters with transformations. See this post on the groovy users mailing list for more on that.
Also try changing the annotation from #WithLogging to #AC.WithLogging.
As far as cleaning with Eclipse is concerned, I had a similar issue and found that I had to make a trivial modification after a clean to any file that contained my annotation. IE, add a space somewhere. Then save the file. This should rebuild everything properly.
