Scala 3 Support (1000USD Bounty) about scalasql HOT 11 CLOSED

@KuceraMartin said he wanted to look into this, but if anyone else wants to try their hand at this feel free to do so

hi @mrdziuban sorry for the late reply, I am just a macro beginner. So it was beyond me. glad you completed it.

Hi this sounds like an interesting exercise. I am new to macros but consider this as an opportunity to learn them. So would like to work on it if its ok. Thank you.

Please go ahead! No need to ask me for permission

Sounds like a fun thing to do

I tried doing this and discovered scala/scala3#19480

from scalasql.

I discovered scala/scala3#19436 in #3. I also tried a different approach with mirrors and ran into another compiler crash scala/scala3#19493.

It seems there are many different ways to approach this. @ghik would you be interested in discussing our thoughts? Maybe together we could find another approach that doesn't break the compiler :D

Sure, but I haven't even gotten to porting the macro itself. I just tried to compile tests on Scala 3...

from scalasql.

Actually I never tried compiling all the tests. Now that I did, I see I'm getting the same compiler crash as you.

I started by removing most tests and trying to write a macro that would generate something similar to what the Scala 2 TableMacros does, as per @lihaoyi's advice. You could try the same thing if you want. If you do so, you can cherry-pick this commit a96df75 which fixes some trivial Scala 3 incompatibilities outside of macros. Then, delete all tests except for e.g. Main.scala. Then, if you just replace TableMacros with

trait TableMacros:
   given metadata[V[_[_]]]: Table.Metadata[V] = ???

it will at least compile. Later on, you can start adding some tests back. I tried multiple and never ran into that compiler crash. For instance SqliteExample.scala should work.

If you're interested in discussing it further, let's connect on Discord (mine is martin.kucera)

@KuceraMartin FYI scala/scala3#19480 already has a working fix on the way, I compiled the tests successfully with it

I'm going to take a break from this for now, but I'll be happy to discuss details if I come back to it.

Hi this sounds like an interesting exercise. I am new to macros but consider this as an opportunity to learn them. So would like to work on it if its ok. If this will be too much of an effort for a macro newbie I am happy for someone else to work on this.Thank you.

Hey @vvidlearn, are you still looking into this? I'm curious to look as well but don't want to step on your toes
