Previously the persistent attribute map was only reset when the file
event monitor detected a change. This made it possible for the cache to
be inconsistent with the state of the file system*. To fix this, I add an
observer on the file tree repository used by the continuous build that
invalidates the cache entry for any path for which it detects a change.
Invalidating the cache does not stamp the file. That only happens either
when a task asks for the stamp for that file or when the file event
monitor reports an event and we must check if the file was updated or
not.
After this change, touching a source file will not trigger a build
unless the contents of the file actually changes.
I added a test that touches one source file in a project and updates the
content of the other. If the source file that is only ever touched ever
triggers a build, then the test fails.
* This could lead to under-compilation because ExternalHooks would not
detect that the file had been updated.
I had tried to be cute and only inject certain tasks if they're actually
used, but that made it so that dynamic tasks may not have be able to use
them.
The new io verion removes the PathFinder <-> Glob implicit translations.
It also has a number of small bug fixes related to directory listing via
FileTreeView.
The main project emits a number of deprecation warnings. I've isolated
the deprecation warnings related to Watch to the DeprecatedContinuous
file. I fixed the deprecation warnings where it was straightforward to
do so. After this change, there are three non-watch related changes
emitted:
1) Defaults.scala:3760 uses the deprecated InputTask.apply. This seems
fixable but I'm not in a hurry
2) oldLoadFailed and oldLastGrep are used by Main. I think this could
just be fixed by removing the deprecation warnings and setting them
private[sbt] since they will still be available in the shell.
I previously tried to fix https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/4608 in
fc715cab44 by finding the instance of
xsbt.boot.BootFilteredLoader in the classloader heirarchy. This was a
risky approach since it made a lot of assumptions about the classloaders
used to invoke xMain.run. Since the point is to filter out the scala
standard library jar, I reworked things to just find all the parents of
the scala provider loader and then walk the graph from the root
classloader until it finds the classloader that contains the scala
library. If no such classloader exists, it ends up returning the parent
of the scala provider library.
I also renamed the libraryLoader parameter to scalaProviderLoader since
that is what is actually passedin. It is actually the libraryLoader that
we want to exclude.

local-preloaded-ivy contains dangling ivy.xml without JAR files.
We might include local-preloaded again once we have a preloaded in Maven layout.
This also seemed to be missing once the sbt metabuild classpath stopped
leaking into the compiler clAdd scalaXml to testingProj dependencies

This also seemed to be missing once the sbt metabuild classpath stopped

Previously the zincLmIntegrationProj would compile if the meta build classpath
leaked into the compilation classpath. I found that the project would
not compile a clean build running an sbt built off of origin/develop.
I discovered there were a number of places where closing a ClassLoader
didn't work correctly because I was assuming it was a URLClassLoader
when it was actually a ClasspathFilter. I also incorrectly imported the
wrong kind of URLClassLoader in Run.scala. Finally, I close the
SbtMetaBuildClassLoader when xMain exits now.
I noticed that when I ran scripted locally (with no arguments) it was
hard to tell if they succeeded or not because the last test it ran was
metadata-only-resolver which had no valid test files and dumped a bunch
of lines to stderr. I noticed there were a number of tests that had
files named disabled but no other tests with a test named disable so I
renamed metadata-only-resolver to disabled..
I decided that there were too many settings related to the file
management that did similar things and had similar names but did
slightly different things. To improve this, I introduce the ChangedFiles
class to sbt.nio.file and switch to having just two task for file input
and output retrieval: all(Input|Output)Files and
changed(Input|Output)Files. If, for example, changedInputFiles returns
None that means that either the task has not yet been run or there were
no changes. If there have been any changes, then it will return
Some(changes) and the user can extract the relevant changes that they
are interested in.
The code may be slightly more verbose in a few places, but I think it's
worth it for the conceptual clarity.
This commit unifies my previous work for automatically watching the
input files for a task with support for automatically tracking and
cleaning up the output files of a task. The big idea is that users may
want to define tasks that depend on the file outputs of other tasks and
we may not want to run the dependent tasks if the output files of the
parent tasks are unmodified.
For example, suppose we wanted to make a plugin for managing typescript
files. There may be, say, two tasks with the following inputs and
outputs:
compileTypescript = taskKey[Unit]("shells out to compile typescript files")
fileInputs -- sourceDirectory / ** / "*.ts"
fileOutputs -- target / "generated-js" / ** / "*.js"
minifyGeneratedJS = taskKey[Path]("minifies the js files generated by compileTypescript to a single combined js file.")
dependsOn: compileTypeScript / fileOutputs
Given a clean build, the following should happen
> minifyGeneratedJS
// compileTypescript is run
// minifyGeneratedJS is run
> minifyGeneratedJS
// no op because nothing changed
> minifyGeneratedJS / clean
// removes the file returned by minifyGeneratedJS.previous
> minifyGeneratedJS
// re-runs minifyGeneratedJS with the previously compiled js artifacts
> compileTypescript / clean
// removes the generated js files
> minifyGeneratedJS
// compileTypescript is run because the previous clean removed the generated js files
// minifyGeneratedJS runs because the artifacts have changed
> clean
// removes the generated js files and the minified js file
> minifyGeneratedJS
// compileTypescript is run because the generated js files were
// minifyGeneratedJS is run both because it was removed and
Moreover, if compileTypescript fails, we want minifyGeneratedJS to fail
as well.
This commit makes this all possible. It adds a number of tasks to
sbt.nio.Keys that deal with the output files. When injecting settings, I
now identify all tasks that return Seq[File], File, Seq[Path] and Path
and create a hidden special task: dynamicFileOutputs: TaskKey[Seq[Path]]
This special task runs the underlying task and converts the result to
Seq[Path]. From there, we can have the tasks like changedOutputPaths
delegate to dynamicFileOutputs which, by proxy, runs the underlying
task. If any task in the input / output chain fails, the entire sequence
fails.
Unlike the fileInputs, we do not register the dynamicFileOutputs or
fileOutputs with continuous watch service so these paths will not
trigger a continuous build if they are modified. Only explicit unmanaged
input sources should should do that.
As part of this, I also added automatic generation of a custom clean task for
any task that returns Seq[File], File, Seq[Path] or Path. I also added
aggregation so that clean can be defined in a configuration or project
and it will automatically run clean for all of the tasks that have a
custom clean implementation in that task or project. The automatic clean
task will only delete files that are in the task target directory to
avoid accidentally deleting unmanaged files.
This commit refactors things so that the nio apis are located primarily
in the nio package. Because the nio keys are a first class sbt feature,
I had to add import sbt.nio._ and sbt.nio.Keys._ to the autoimports in
BuildUtil.scala
I had some ideas for allowing the user to get a copy of system in during
a continuous build but I can't really see a good use case now so I'm
going to remove it before 1.3.0.
In my recent changes to watch, I have been moving towards a world in
which sbt manages the file inputs and outputs at the task level. The
main idea is that we want to enable a user to specify the inputs and
outputs of a task and have sbt able to track those inputs across
multiple task evaluations. Sbt should be able to automatically trigger a
build when the inputs change and it also should be able to avoid task
evaluation if non of the inputs have changed.
The former case of having sbt automatically watch the file inputs of a
task has been present since watch was refactored. In this commit, I
make it possible for the user to retrieve the lists of new, modified and
deleted files. The user can then avoid task evaluation if none of the
inputs have changed.
To implement this, I inject a number of new settings during project
load if the fileInputs setting is defined for a task. The injected
settings are:
allPathsAndAttributes -- this retrieves all of the paths described by
the fileInputs for the task along with their attributes
fileStamps -- this retrieves all of the file stamps for the files
returned by allPathsAndAttributes
Using these two injected tasks, I also inject a number of derived tasks,
such as allFiles, which returns all of the regular files returned by
allPathsAndAttributes and changedFiles, which returns all of the regular
files that have been modified since the last run.
Using these injected settings, the user is able to write tasks that
avoid evaluation if the inputs haven't changed.
foo / fileInputs += baseDirectory.value.toGlob / ** / "*.scala"
foo := {
foo.previous match {
case Some(p) if (foo / changedFiles).value.isEmpty => p
case _ => fooImpl((foo / allFiles).value
}
}
To make this whole mechanism work, I add a private task key:
val fileAttributeMap = taskKey[java.util.HashMap[Path, Stamp]]("...")
This keeps track of the stamps for all of the files that are managed by
sbt. The fileStamps task will first look for the stamp in the attribute
map and, only if it is not present, it will update the cache. This
allows us to ensure that a given file will only be stamped once per task
evaluation run no matter how the file inputs are specified. Moreover, in
a continuous build, I'm able to reuse the attribute map which can
significantly reduce latency because the default file stamping
implementation used by zinc is fairly expensive (it can take anywhere
between 300-1500ms to stamp 5000 8kb source files on my mac).
I also renamed some of the watch related keys to be a bit more clear.
This trait may not even survive until 1.4.0. It should definitely not be
public. I got a little overexcited about programming with higher kinded
types when I added it.
The newest version of io repackages a number of classes into the
sbt.nio.* packages. It also changes some of the semantics of glob
related apis. This commit updates all of the usages of the updated apis
within sbt but should have no functional difference.
Since the new watch implementation has yet to be widely deployed, we
should hold off on deprecating the old keys. They could still be
deprecated in a patch release or in 1.4.0.
