Documentation

If you want to use Mill in your own projects, check out our documentation:

• Documentation

Here is some quick example, so that you can imagine how it looks:

import mill._, scalalib._

object foo extends ScalaModule {
  def scalaVersion = "3.0.2"
}

object bar extends ScalaModule {
  def moduleDeps = Seq(foo)
  def scalaVersion = "3.0.2"
}

If you use Mill and like it, you will probably enjoy the following book by the Author:

• Hands-on Scala Programming

Hands-on Scala has a Chapter 10: Static Build Pipelines dedicated to Mill, but rest of the book introduces other libraries and tools in a similar style. Hands-on Scala is a great way to level up your skills in Scala in general and Mill in particular

The remainder of this readme is developer-documentation targeted at people who wish to work on Mill’s own codebase. The developer docs assume you have read through the user-facing documentation linked above. It’s also worth spending a few minutes reading the following blog posts to get a sense of Mill’s design & motivation:

• "So, what’s wrong with SBT?"

• Build Tools as Pure Functional Programs

• Mill: Better Scala Builds

How to build and test

Mill is built using Mill. To begin, first download & install Mill as described in the documentation above. As Mill is under active development, stable releases may not be able to build the current development branch of Mill. It is recommended to install the latest unstable release manually.

IntelliJ Setup

If you are using IntelliJ IDEA to edit Mill’s Scala code, you can create the IntelliJ project files via:

./mill mill.scalalib.GenIdea/idea

Automated Tests

To run test suites:

./mill main.test
./mill scalalib.test
./mill scalajslib.test
./mill integration.test

Manual Testing

To manually test Mill on a small build, you can use the scratch folder:

./mill -i dev.run scratch -w resolve _

This runs the task resolve _ with your current checkout of Mill on the trivial build defined in scratch/build.sc. You can modify that build file to add additional modules, files, etc. and see how it behaves.

More generally, you can use:

./mill -i dev.run [target-dir] [...args]

To create run your current checkout of Mill in the given target-dir with the given args. This is useful e.g. to test a modified version of Mill on some other project’s Mill build.

You can also create a launcher-script to let you run the current checkout of Mill without the bootstrap Mill process present:

./mill dev.launcher

This creates the out/dev/launcher.dest/run launcher script, which you can then use to run your current checkout of Mill where-ever you’d like. Note that this script relies on the compiled code already present in the Mill out/ folder, and thus isn’t suitable for testing on Mill’s own Mill build since you would be over-writing the compiled code at the same time as the launcher script is using it.

You can also run your current checkout of Mill on the build in your scratch/ folder without the bootstrap Mill process being present via:

./mill dev.launcher && (cd scratch && ../out/dev/launcher.dest/run -w show thingy)

Bootstrapping: Building Mill with your current checkout of Mill

To test bootstrapping of Mill’s own Mill build using a version of Mill built from your checkout, you can run

ci/publish-local.sh

This creates a standalone assembly at ~/mill-release you can use, which references jars published locally in your ~/.ivy2/local cache. You can then use this standalone assembly to build & re-build your current Mill checkout without worrying about stomping over compiled code that the assembly is using.

This assemby is design to work on bash, bash-like shells and Windows Cmd. If you have another default shell like zsh or fish, you probably need to invoke it with sh ~/mill-release or prepend the file with a proper shebang.

Troubleshooting

In case of troubles with caching and/or incremental compilation, you can always restart from scratch removing the out directory:

os.remove.all -rf out/

Project Layout

The Mill project is organized roughly as follows:

Core modules that are included in the main assembly

• core, main, main.client, scalalib, scalajslib.

These are general lightweight and dependency-free: mostly configuration & wiring of a Mill build and without the heavy lifting.

Heavy lifting is delegated to the worker modules (described below), which the core modules resolve from Maven Central (or from the local filesystem in dev) and load into isolated classloaders.

Worker modules that are resolved from Maven Central

• scalalib.worker, scalajslib.worker[0.6], scalajslib.worker[1.0]

These modules are where the heavy-lifting happens, and include heavy dependencies like the Scala compiler, Scala.js optimizer, etc.. Rather than being bundled in the main assembly & classpath, these are resolved separately from Maven Central (or from the local filesystem in dev) and kept in isolated classloaders.

This allows a single Mill build to use multiple versions of e.g. the Scala.js optimizer without classpath conflicts.

Contrib modules

• contrib/bloop/, contrib/flyway/, contrib/scoverage/, etc.

These are modules that help integrate Mill with the wide variety of different tools and utilities available in the JVM ecosystem.

These modules are not as stringently reviewed as the main Mill core/worker codebase, and are primarily maintained by their individual contributors. These are maintained as part of the primary Mill Github repo for easy testing/updating as the core Mill APIs evolve, ensuring that they are always tested and passing against the corresponding version of Mill.

• If a module depends on multiple submodules with different versions of an ivy dependency, only one version is resolved (#273)

0.1.7

• Support for non-interactive (client/server) mode on Windows.

• More fixes for Java 9

• Bumped the Mill daemon timeout from 1 minute to 5 minutes of inactivity before it shuts down.

• Avoid leaking Node.js subprocesses when running ScalaJSModule tests

• Passing command-line arguments with spaces in them to tests no longer parses wrongly

• ScalaModule#repositories, scalacPluginIvyDeps, scalacOptions, javacOptions are now automatically propagated to Tests modules

• ScalaJSModule linking errors no longer show a useless stack trace

• ScalaModule#docJar now properly uses the compileClasspath rather than runClasspath

• Bumped underlying Ammonite version to 1.1.0, which provides the improved Windows and Java 9 support

0.1.6

• Fixes for non-interactive (client/server) mode on Java 9

• Windows batch (.bat) generation for launcher, assembly, and release

0.1.5

• Introduced the mill plan foo.bar command, which shows you what the execution plan of running the foo.bar task looks like without actually evaluating it.

• Mill now generates an out/mill-profile.json file containing task-timings, to make it easier to see where your mill evaluation time is going

• Introduced ScalaModule#ivyDepsTree command to show dependencies tree

• Rename describe to inspect for consistency with SBT

• mill resolve now prints results sorted alphabetically

• Node.js configuration can be customised with ScalaJSModule#nodeJSConfig

• Scala.js fullOpt now uses Google Closure Compiler after generating the optimized Javascript output

• Scala.js now supports NoModule and CommonJSModule module kinds

• Include compileIvyDeps when generating IntelliJ projects

• Fixed invalid POM generation

• Support for Java 9 (and 10)

• Fixes for Windows support

• Fixed test classes discovery by skipping interfaces

• Include "optional" artifacts in dependency resolution if they exist

• out/{module_name} now added as a content root in generated IntelliJ project

0.1.4

• Speed up Mill client initialization by another 50-100ms

• Speed up incremental `assembly`s in the common case where upstream dependencies do not change.

• Make ScalaJSModule#run work with main-method discovery

• Make ScalaWorkerModule user-defineable, so you can use your own custom coursier resolvers when resolving Mill’s own jars

• Simplify definitions of SCM strings

• Make the build REPL explicitly require -i/--interactive to run

• Log a message when Mill is initializing the Zinc compiler interface

0.1.3

• Greatly reduced the overhead of evaluating Mill tasks, with a warm already-cached mill dev.launcher now taking ~450ms instead of ~1000ms

• Mill now saves compiled build files in ~/.mill/ammonite, which is configurable via the --home CLI arg.

• Fixed linking of multi-module Scala.js projects

0.1.2

• Mill now keeps a long-lived work-daemon around in between commands; this should improve performance of things like compile which benefit from the warm JVM. You can use -i/--interactive for interactive consoles/REPLs and for running commands without the daemon

• Implemented the ScalaModule#launcher target for easily creating command-line launchers you can run outside of Mill

• ScalaModule#docJar no longer fails if you don’t have scala-compiler on classpath

• Support for multiple testFrameworks in a test module.

0.1.1

• Fixes for foo.console

• Enable Ammonite REPL integration via foo.repl

0.1.0

• First public release
