Thanks for the report. We probably want to adjust the generated scala 3 code. PRs welcome 😉

@ajafri2001 Regarding you comment here, are you still interested to work on this?

[ajafri2001]

@mkurz yes please!

Not sure how much experience you have in sbt/scala/twirl.
Maybe try first to set up a reproducer project so you can generate a test *.template.scala file.
Then you modify the twirl source code (the fun part ;) to make things work ;)
First I think you should understand and play around how https://github.com/playframework/twirl/blob/main/parser/src/main/scala/play/twirl/parser/TwirlParser.scala and https://github.com/playframework/twirl/blob/main/compiler/src/main/scala/play/twirl/compiler/TwirlCompiler.scala works.

I need to run out of office now, but can advice more later and/or tomorrow.

@mkurz I'm not too experienced (I didn't know scala as a language even existed a couple months ago 😅). But I did manage to figure out how to locally test/inspect the generated wrapper code via sbt-twirl. here's the pr I managed to come up with 😅.

tysm, I would definitely appreciate any help you can give.
