learning some sbt fu by build the bfg tool excerpt: sbt 1 2 3

I want to build the bfg tool

In my previous blog I talked about bfg the bfg-repo-cleaner. It is a fast repo maintain tool written in scala. The developer didn't provide any prebuilt binary downloads.

So, clone and built by myself.

SBT do not work well the maven way

After some simple git clone. Backed with some maven knowledge and knowing that sbt is kind of same tool.

I thought like a fool that a sdk install sbt followed by sbt build command will built a beautiful jar in target directory as maven package do.

Sbt version mismatch

Quickly, I learn the first lesson from sbt: sbt will not build the old project with latest sbt version, it will always try to build the project with declared version. If the version is not available locally, SBT will try to download it until successes with the downloading.

  1. sbt will download with project declared sbt version if not already installed.
  2. sbt will download the project declared scala version if not already installed.
  3. sbt is big! And the download is realy slow.
  4. scala is big, too, alas!!!

Sbt likes REPL

After several bindly sbt foobar runs without looking into the README a single sight. I learned my second lesson from bfg project: project README and BUILD document is important!!!

Just as maven works, the mode java runs, fire and wait for the result. sbt works the way scala runs, start a REPL and interact with it.

The power of scala runtime

The third lesson I learn from sbt is that: a pure sbt built jar will depend on scala runtime, to make an Uber jar one must use sbt assembly plugin.

With assembly plugin applied, the KB sized pure jar will quickly grow to 1x MB sized fat jar with power of scala runtime embedded. Thereafter, a separated installation of scala is not necessary anymore.

Eglot and before/after-save-hook and use-package

In Emacs, when you try to automate some actions during every save action, you will surely get to the before-save-hook and the after-save-hook. Simply adding something like gofmt-before-save to before-save-hook will save you tons of time to do the go-fmt. And then, I meet eglot, and gopls will also save me tons of time doing googling and api documentation navigation. But eglot-ensure is not very friendly to the good old ways of how after-save-hooks were designed to work. It makes the before/after-save-hook a buffer local variable and it does not inherit the variable's global value. So, to make before/after-save-hook work again, experts start to adding hooks to major mode specific hooks like this: emacs.md - Go (opensource.google) """ ;; Optional: install eglot-format-buffer as a save hook. ;; The depth of -10 places this before eglot's willSave notification, ;; so that that notification reports the actual contents that will be saved.

Use MobaDiff with git difftool

Recently there's an activity in IT that forces the deletion of all unauthorized softwares from all work machines. Unfortunately, kdiff3 is one in the list. As it is generally okay to use vimdiff as an alternative for kdiff3, A gui tool is better suited for desktop workflows. Known that MobaXterm is shipping a gui diff tool named MobaDiff. But it only appears in the windows right click context menu. Find the real application name takes me some time to search in the windows registry. "MobaRTE.exe", which is the one invoked by HKCR\*\shell\MobaDiff. And it was invoked with "-contextdiff" switch to show MobaDiff UI, while when the switch is "-contextedit" it shows MobaTextEditor. Too bad that the "-contextdiff" switch do not support pre-image post-image as other diff tool did, which effectively made it unable to be used as a command line diff utility. Also MobaTech did not mention anything in their document of this Mob...
