Given that SJS support was just added, It seems like SN support should be somewhat trivial now that we are not platform specific. I could be wrong, so lets see what actually needs to be done.

Here are the scalameta dependencies

  • scalatest
  • scalapb
  • utest
  • sourcecode
  • fastparse

Further tasks:

@densh I'm sure you can answer a lot of these questions I have.

This was one big motivation for porting to Scala.js/crossProject. I already tested the waters by trying to build scalafmt against scala-native, which resulted in these linking errors scala-native/scala-native#557

@olafurpg Most of the linking errors from that list are done now, we should retry and see if there is anything missing still.

@densh I just opened scalameta/scalafmt#898 porting scalafmt-core to Scala.js. We can work from that branch to try build scalafmt with native, I don't suspect we won't hit on any linking errors in core, but maybe we need more work in scalafmt-cli.

I will try to look into porting to native tomorrow.

I am super excited to confirm that scalafmt links with scala-native 0.2!

scalafmt-native

Getting it to work only required removing a single Enumeration in the scalameta parser since it seems those use runtime reflection. The rest was simple build changes.

@densh Can you comment on what it would take to support these libraries?

I have no data on scalatest as they have rather complicated build that's not easily migratable to native.

utest/sourcecode/fastparse seem to have enough APIs implemented in 0.2 already, it's just a matter of cross-publishing it, build changes are trivial. We can't run the tests automatically from the sbt yet due to scala-native/scala-native#339, but @Duhemm might have time to look at it in 0.3 milestone.

Scalacheck should be either working already or require minimum changes from us to support it.

Fastparse 0.4.4 is out now with native support. Only remaining dependency is ScalaTest. Our options are to either

  • don't run tests in native projects (booo!)
  • write a thin FunSuite wrapper using utests.

I lean towards the second option. utest assert macro error messages are IME better than scalatest macro assert errors so I wouldn't mind switching to utest. Once com-lihaoyi/utest#113 is merged then utest will also have pretty console reports.

👍 for writing a FunSuite wrapper for uTest.

I tried crosscompiling a small part of Scalameta to Native, and it worked pretty well, except for a minor inconvenienced described in #1228 (comment). All in all, this looks doable, and I'm looking forward to a native build of Scalatest to commence a full-scale migration.

Issue with artifact names has been fixed by @sjrd (portable-scala/sbt-crossproject#81) and is going to be part of the next release of sbt-crossproject.

I started working on crosscompilation to native in https://github.com/xeno-by/scalameta/tree/topic/native. Here's a problem that I ran into:

@densh, can you comment? Is this a native bug? If yes, is there a workaround that would allow me to ignore it and make progress regardless?

upd. Renaming SymbolInformation.Kind.CLASS to SymbolInformation.Kind.CLAZZ successfully works around the problem (xeno-by@b7a0691). We would still like to use the name CLASS, not CLAZZ, so it would be great if you could look into that.

upd. Submitted a ticket at scala-native/scala-native#1155.

Here's another problem that I ran into. This one may be related to ScalaTest:

[error] Total time: 129 s, completed Feb 1, 2018 11:42:59 AM

@bvenners, any idea what could be causing the issue?

upd. Moving the test suite from the root package to any other package successfully works around the problem (xeno-by@44f57a0).

Looks like https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/blob/17cf3c557a10b63898b2fa4251b8a298177716df/sbt-scala-native/src/main/scala/scala/scalanative/sbtplugin/TestUtilities.scala#L38 is generating the tests map with _root_ prepended to every test class, which leads to the failure since _root_ can't be used to access values or classes in the root package.

@Duhemm would it be possible to generate the TestMain into the root package so that _root_ is not needed to reference test classes/modules?

I've just submitted a pull request with the first stab at crosscompiling Scalameta to Scala Native: #1243. I had to apply several workarounds, but I managed to get testsNative/test to green state. If you're interested, check out the pull request for details.

Here's another pull request that crosscompiles just semanticdb/: #1263, but without any workarounds and hacks.

Successfully merged #1263 and published a Scala Native build of semanticdb3. Already using it in Rsc: xeno-by/rsc@e1b8e2e.

Fixed in #1529, native support for scalameta + contrib modules has been merged into master 🚀
