Ignore annotation under scala 2.7.2 Posted: Nov 11, 2008 3:36 PM

Hello,

I am trying to build scalatest under scala 2.7.2.final.

I have built an ant task to aid this and can compile the main scalatest classes ok

When I try to compile the test classes however I've run into errors where I get this:

app\tests\org\scalatest\SuiteSuite.scala:19: error: Ignore is not a member of org.scalatest

import org.scalatest.Ignore
^

or this
\app\tests\org\scalatest\SuiteSuite.scala:57: error: not found: type Ignore

@Ignore

^

When I investigated the code I couldn't find any definition of the Ignore annotation that made sense for my understanding (admittedly not much) of the way annotations are created in scala.


Can anyone shed any insight on this? Has anyone built the trunk version of scalatest under 2.7.2 final?

oops.

ok I found the Ignore.java file that should define the annotation but perhaps I'm not using scalac properly so that the .java files get built as well.

Hi Brett,

Are you doing this from the build.xml file in the trunk? It has a javac task for compiling Ignore.java. One of the few things you can't do in Scala is define an annotation that is visible from Java reflection, which is why Ignore must be defined in Java.
