eugene yokotaandRikito Taniguchi 53b36840bb [2.0.x] Fix Scala 3 .previous expansion for unstable path (#9041) (#9075)
**problem**
.previous was implemented as an inline expansion to wrapInitTask(Previous.runtime(in)(<instance of JsonFormat[A1]))

For example, the .previous on taskKey[String] gets inlined like
this, and then sbt's macro moves `Previous.runtime(...)(using StringJsonFormat)` into task input.

lazy val fingerprints = taskKey[String]("...")
val previousFingerprints = fingerprints.previous

// inlined
val previousFingerprints: Option[String] = {
  InputWrapper.wrapInitTask(
    Previous.runtime(...)(using StringJsonFormat)
  )
}

- https://github.com/sbt/sbt/blob/6c8ee6ea37f93204c248f87fda788a661571a7ef/main-settings/src/main/scala/sbt/Def.scala#L410-L412
- https://github.com/sbt/sbt/blob/6c8ee6ea37f93204c248f87fda788a661571a7ef/core-macros/src/main/scala/sbt/internal/util/appmacro/Cont.scala#L468

However, if the return type of task is a bit more complicated like
Seq[String], it doesn't work:

Scala 3 Compiler's inliner creates a synthetic proxy symbol if the
inlining tree is an application, whose arguments are unstable path.

For example,

lazy val fingerprints = taskKey[Seq[String]]("...")
val previousFingerprints = fingerprints.previous

// inline to
val previousFingerprints: Option[Seq[String]] = {
  val x$2$proxy1 = immSeqFormat(StringJsonFormat)
  InputWrapper.wrapInitTask(
    Previous.runtime(...)(using x$2$proxy1)
  )
}

https://github.com/scala/scala3/blob/cc7d6db700f695234c615b9e6fca4e6895b573d4/compiler/src/dotty/tools/dotc/inlines/Inliner.scala#L324-L329

However, sbt2's Cont macro captures only `Previous.runtime(...)(using x$2$proxy1)`, while it doesn't capture the proxy definition. Consequently, while sbt macro moves the `Previous.runtime(...)` application as a task input, the proxy definition is left in the task body.

mapN(
  (
    link / fingerprints,
    Previous.runtime(...)(using x$2$proxy1) // here x$2$proxy1 can't be found
  )
) {
  ...
  val x$2$proxy1 = ...
}

Then we get:

-- Error: /.../build.sbt:14:59
14 |  val previousFingerprints = (link / fingerprints).previous
   |                                                           ^
   |While expanding a macro, a reference to value x$2$proxy1 was used outside the scope where it was defined

**How this PR fixed**
This commit fixes the problem by defining a dedicated Scala3 macro for .previous that summon JsonFormat[A1] inside the macro before constructing the wrapped previous.runtime(...)(using ...) by inliner. The macro insert the found given value tree directly into the previous.runtime(...)(using $found).

This way, Cont macro always moves the Previous.runtime tree along with it's given argument, without leaking compiler-generated inline proxies across scopes.
