Description
This PR should fix #445. Before, macro targets couldn't depend on
ijar
d targets because targets depending on those macros would get the compile (ijar
d) versions of thoseijar
d targets, which can't be executed at compile time due to necessary information being stripped out. Instead, we need to include macro targets' transitive runtime JARs on the compile classpath.This PR makes Scala targets export a
ScalaInfo
provider containing acontains_macros
attribute. If one of a target's dependencies exports aScalaInfo
provider withcontains_macros
set toTrue
(i.e. the dependency is a macro), that dependencies' transitive runtime JARs are hoisted to the top of the compile classpath. This is necessary because if they were included anywhere else in the classpath, we'd risk the compile-time versions of those transitive runtime JARs being used instead.The approach is explained in more detail in
collect_jars
inscala/private/common.bzl
. Another benefit of this approach is that we canijar
macro targets and their transitive dependencies and therefore benefit from reduced incremental build times.Motivation
Closing #445.
