Playing with Scala 3 on Windows

Dotty project This repository gathers Scala 3 code examples coming from various websites - mostly from the Dotty project - or written by myself.
In particular it includes build scripts (Ant files, Bash scripts, batch files, Gradle scripts, Make scripts, Maven scripts) for experimenting with the Scala 3 language on a Windows machine.

This document is part of a series of topics related to Scala 3 on Windows:

Ada, Akka, C++, COBOL, Dart, Deno, Docker, Flix, Golang, GraalVM, Haskell, Kafka, Kotlin, LLVM, Modula-2, Node.js, Rust, Spark, Spring, TruffleSqueak and WiX Toolset are other trending topics we are continuously monitoring.

Project dependencies

This project depends on the following external software for the Microsoft Windows platform:

Optionally one may also install the following software:

Installation policy
When possible we install software from a Zip archive rather than via a Windows installer. In our case we defined C:\opt\ as the installation directory for optional software tools (in reference to the /opt/ directory on Unix).

For instance our development environment looks as follows (April 2024) 5:

C:\opt\apache-ant\                 ( 40 MB)
C:\opt\apache-maven\               ( 10 MB)

setenv.bat
UBUNTU_WSL.md

where

We also define a virtual drive – e.g. drive Y: – in our working environment in order to reduce/hide the real path of our project directory (see article "Windows command prompt limitation" from Microsoft Support).

🔎 Inside batch file setenv.bat we use the Windows external command subst to create virtual drives; for instance:

> subst Y: %USERPROFILE%\workspace\dotty-examples

In the next section we give a brief description of the batch files present in this project.

Batch/Bash commands

We distinguish different sets of batch/bash commands:

  1. setenv.bat – This batch command makes external tools such as maven.cmd, mill.bat and sbt.bat directly available from the command prompt (see section Project dependencies).

    > setenv help
    Usage: setenv { <option> | <subcommand> }
     
      Options:
        -bash       start Git bash shell instead of Windows command prompt
        -debug      print commands executed by this script
        -verbose    print progress messages
     
      Subcommands:
        help        print this help message
    
  2. Directory bin\ – This directory contains several utility batch files:

  3. Directory bin\3.0\ - This directory contains batch files to be copied to the bin\ directory of the Scala 3 installation for versions prior to 3.0.2 in order to use the scalac.bat, scaladoc.bat and scala.bat commands on Microsoft Windows.

    Starting with version 3.0.2 those batch files are included in the Scala 3 software distribution (see PR#13006, itself based on PR#5444).

     > dir /b c:\opt\scala3-3.3.3\bin
     common
     common.bat
     scala
     scala.bat
     scalac
     scalac.bat
     scaladoc
     scaladoc.bat
     
  1. File bin\dotty\build.bat - This batch command generates the Scala 3 software distribution from the Windows command prompt.

  2. File bin\dotty\build.sh - This bash command generates the Scala 3 software distribution from the Git Bash command prompt.

  3. File examples\*\build.bat - Finally each example can be built/run using the build.bat command.

    We favor build.bat for the following reasons:

    • It matches user commands executed from the Windows command prompt.
    • It provides subcommands for working with CFR, Scalafmt, JUnit and more.
    • Code examples are simple (mostly one single source file).
    • We don't need the sbt machinery (eg. library dependencies, sbt server).
     > build
     Usage: build { <option> | <subcommand> }
      
       Options:
         -debug           print commands executed by this script
         -explain         set compiler option -explain
         -explain-types   set compiler option -explain-types
         -main:<name>     define main class name (default: Main)
         -print           print IR after compilation phase 'lambdaLift'
         -scala2          use Scala 2 tools
         -scala3          use Scala 3 tools (default)
         -tasty           compile both from source and TASTy files
         -timer           print the execution time
         -verbose         print progress messages
      
       Subcommands:
         clean            delete generated class files
         compile          compile Java/Scala source files
         decompile        decompile generated code with CFR
         doc              generate HTML documentation
         help             print this help message
         lint             analyze Scala source files with Scalafmt
         run[:i]          execute main class (instrumented execution: :i)
         test             execute unit tests with JUnit
      
       Properties:
       (to be defined in SBT configuration file project\build.properties)
         main.class       alternative to option -main:<name>
         main.args        list of arguments to be passed to main class
     

Optional tools

  1. Build tools

    Code examples in directories examples\ and myexamples\ can also be built with the following tools as an alternative to the build.bat command (see examples\README.md and myexamples\README.md for more details):

    Build tool Build file Parent file Usage example
    ant.bat build.xml build.xml antclean compile run
    bazel.exe BUILD n.a. bazelrun :enum-Planet
    cmd.exe build.bat build clean run
    gradle.bat build.gradle common.gradle gradleclean build run
    make.exe Makefile Makefile.inc makeclean run
    mill.bat build.sc common.sc mill -i app
    mvn.cmd pom.xml pom.xml mvnclean compile test
    sbt.bat build.sbt n.a. sbtclean compile run
  2. Decompiler tools

    As an alternative to the standard javap.exe class decompiler one may use cfr.bat (simply extract bin\cfr-0.152.zip to c:\opt\) which prints Java source code instead of Java bytecode:

     > cfr myexamples\00_AutoParamTupling\target\classes\myexamples\Main.class
     /*
      * Decompiled with CFR 0.152.
      */
     package myexamples;
     
     import myexamples.Main$;
     
     public final class Main {
         public static void test01() {
             Main$.MODULE$.test01();
         }
     
         public static void main(String[] arrstring) {
             Main$.MODULE$.main(arrstring);
         }
     
         public static void test02() {
             Main$.MODULE$.test02();
         }
     }
     

    Here is the console output from command javap.exe with option -c for the same class file:

     > javap -c myexamples\00_AutoParamTupling\target\classes\myexamples\Main.class
     Compiled from "Main.scala"
     public final class myexamples.Main {
       public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
         Code:
            0: getstatic     #13                 // Field myexamples/Main$.MODULE$:Lmyexamples/Main$;
            3: aload_0
            4: invokevirtual #15                 // Method myexamples/Main$.main:([Ljava/lang/String;)V
            7: return
     
       public static void test02();
         Code:
            0: getstatic     #13                 // Field myexamples/Main$.MODULE$:Lmyexamples/Main$;
            3: invokevirtual #19                 // Method myexamples/Main$.test02:()V
            6: return
     
       public static void test01();
         Code:
            0: getstatic     #13                 // Field myexamples/Main$.MODULE$:Lmyexamples/Main$;
            3: invokevirtual #22                 // Method myexamples/Main$.test01:()V
            6: return
     }
     

Usage examples

setenv.bat

We execute command setenv.bat once to setup our development environment; it makes external tools such as bazel.exe, mvn.cmd, sbt.bat and git.exe directly available from the command prompt.

Concretely, subcommand activate switches to the nightly build version and subcommand restore restore the path to the Scala 3 installation directory.

> getnightly activate
Active Scala 3 installation is 3.4.2-RC1-bin-20240221-e54be6e-NIGHTLY (was 3.3.3)

> %SCALA3_HOME%\bin\scalac -version
Scala compiler version 3.4.2-RC1-bin-20240221-e54be6e-NIGHTLY-git-e54be6e -- Copyright 2002-2024, LAMP/EPFL

> getnightly restore
Active Scala 3 installation is 3.3.3

> %SCALA3_HOME%\bin\scalac -version
Scala compiler version 3.3.3 -- Copyright 2002-2024, LAMP/EPFL

⚠️ You need write access to the Scala 3 installation directory (e.g. C:\opt\scala3-3.3.3\ in our case) in order to successfully run the activate/reset subcommands.

searchjars.bat <class_name>

Command searchjars.bat helps us to search for class file names in the following directories: project's lib\ directory (if present), Scala's lib\ directory, Java's lib\ directory and Ivy/Maven default local directories.

> searchjars -help
Usage: searchjars { <option> | <class_name> }
 
  Options:
    -artifact        search in ~\.ivy2 and ~\.m2 directories
    -help            print this help message
    -ivy             search in ~\.ivy directory
    -java            search in Java library directories
    -maven           search in ~\.m2 directory
    -scala           search in Scala library directories
    -verbose         print progress messages
 
  Arguments:
    <class_name>     class name

For instance we get the following output when passing class name System to command searchjars.bat (class file names are printed with full path and are prefixed with their containing JAR file):

> searchjars System

timeit.bat <cmd_1> { & <cmd_i> }

Batch file timeit.bat prints the execution time (hh:MM:ss format) of the specified command (possibly given with options and parameters):

> timeit dir /b
.gitignore
.gradle
build.bat
build.gradle
build.sbt
build.sc
build.xml
pom.xml
project
settings.gradle
src
target
Execution time: 00:00:01
 
> timeit build clean compile
Execution time: 00:00:08

Chaining of commands is also possible. Note that the command separator (either && or &) must be escaped if the command chain is not quoted. For instance:

s
> timeit build clean compile ^&^& ant run
...
Execution time: 00:00:11
> timeit "build clean compile && ant run"
...
Execution time: 00:00:11

🔎 The && command separator performs error checking - that is, the commands to the right of the && command run if and only if the command to the left of && succeeds. The & command does not perform error checking - that is, all commands run.

build.bat

Batch file build.bat is a basic build script consisting of ~800 lines of batch/Powershell code 6.

Running command build.bat with no option in project examples\enum-Planet generates the following output:

> build clean compile run

scala.bat

Scala REPL is an interactive tool for evaluating Scala expressions. Internally, it executes a source script by wrapping it in a template and then compiling and executing the resulting program.

⚠️ Batch file scala.bat is based on the bash script scala available from the standard Scala 3 distribution. We also have submitted pull request #5444 to add that batch file to the Scala 3 distribution.

:load <path>             interpret lines in a file
:quit                    exit the interpreter
:type <expression>       evaluate the type of the given expression
:imports                 show import history
:reset                   reset the repl to its initial state, forgetting all session entries

Footnotes

[1] Scala 3 LTS versions

The distinction between LTS and Next versions of Scala 3 is presented on the page "Long-term compatibility plans for Scala 3" posted on August 17, 2022.

In particular it makes the following statement : "We suggest end users stick to the LTS version. It will give you the best tooling support and a stable compiler. If you are migrating a bigger project from Scala 2, you should migrate it straight to the newest LTS."

[2] Java LTS versions

Oracle annonces in his Java SE Support Roadmap he will stop public updates of Java SE 8 for commercial use after January 2019. Current LTS versions are (from Oracle's support roadmap):
Java LTS VersionGAEnd of life
25 September 2025 September 2033
21 September 2023 September 2031
17 September 2021 September 2029
11 September 2018 September 2026
8 March 2014 December 2030 (1)
(1) The Extended Support uplift fee will be waived for the period March 2022 - December 2030 for Java SE 8.
NB. See also Zulu's support roadmap.

[3] Using Bazel on Windows

Read the page Builds on Windows of the Bazel website for tips to build with MSVC, Clang, Java or Python on a Windows machine.
For instance, for Visual Studio 2019, we set variable BAZEL_VC to the Visual C++ Build Tools installation directory:
> set "BAZEL_VC=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC"

[6] PowerShell

Command Prompt has been around for as long as we can remember, but starting with Windows 10 build 14971, Microsoft is trying to make PowerShell the main command shell in the operating system.
