[GRADLE-2548] scalaCompile task is not correctly incremental wrt javaCompile Created: 06/Nov/12  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

It might not be a huge deal because nobody has reported it yet. I'm about to add an integ test case (ignored) for this scenario. Please look it up in the codebase (Issue annotation).

Steps to reproduce (typing from memory, I might be wrong with some details):

1. use the mixed scala sample project
2. build the project
3. build again, make sure everything is up-to-date
4. change the java source the scala class depends on. For example, add a new method to the interface
5. build the project. Note that javaCompile runs but scalaCompile task is considered up-to-date even though the scala class implements the interface from the java code. The expected result is both: javaCompile and scalaCompile tasks run and the latter fails.

Which compiler integration are you using?

Comment by Szczepan Faber [ 07/Nov/12 ]

Good question - I just use the defaults (nothing extra is configured in the build).

The root cause of the problem seems to be that scalaCompile just depends on the javaCompile task, without depending on javaCompile's outputs. However, putting javaCompile outputs on scalaCompile inputs is tricky because both tasks compile stuff to the same directory.

I'm consistently seeing a different behavior. With 1.2 and Ant based Scala compiler, `compileScala` gets run in step 5, but doesn't fail. Only after the next clean build does it fail. With 1.3 (release branch) and Ant based compiler, step 5 fails consistently (as it should). Not sure what to make of this. Used --no-daemon in all my tests.

I take that back, already had the workaround for GRADLE-2549 enabled. I'm now getting the same behavior as Szczepan for all three setups (1.2 with Ant based compiler, 1.3 with Ant based compiler, 1.3 with Zinc based compiler).
