Contrib Plugins

The plugins in this section are developed/maintained in the mill git tree.

For details about including plugins in your build.sc read Using Mill Plugins.

When using one of these contribution modules, it is important that the versions you load match your mill version. To facilitate this, Mill will automatically replace the $MILL_VERSION literal in your ivy imports with the correct value. You can also leave the version completely empty to default to the mill version (but don’t forget to keep the trailing colon).

For instance:

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-bloop:$MILL_VERSION`

or

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-bloop:`

Artifactory

This plugin allows publishing to Artifactory.

Quickstart

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-artifactory:`
import mill.contrib.artifactory.ArtifactoryPublishModule

object mymodule extends ArtifactoryPublishModule {
  def artifactoryUri: String = "https://example.com/artifactory/my-repo"
  def artifactorySnapshotUri: String = "https://example.com/artifactory/my-snapshot-repo"

  ...
}

Then in your terminal:

$ mill mymodule.publishArtifactory --credentials $ARTIFACTORY_USER:$ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD

Bintray

This plugin allows publishing to Bintray.

Quickstart

Make sure your module extends from BintrayPublishModule:

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-bintray:`
import mill.contrib.bintray.BintrayPublishModule

object mymodule extends BintrayPublishModule {
  def bintrayOwner = "owner"
  def bintrayRepo = "repo"

  ...
}

Then ensure you have created a package in the Bintray repository.

The default package used is the artifact ID (e.g. mymodule_2.12). If you want to override the package used, you can do that like this:

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-bintray:`
import mill.contrib.bintray.BintrayPublishModule

object mymodule extends BintrayPublishModule {
  def bintrayOwner = "owner"
  def bintrayRepo = "repo"
  def bintrayPackage = T {...}

  ...
}

Then in your terminal:

$ mill mymodule.publishBintray --credentials $BINTRAY_USER:$BINTRAY_PASSWORD

Options

–credentials <auth>

Set the username and API key to use for authentication. Expected format is username:api_key.

–bintrayOwner <owner> (optional)

Override the Bintray owner.

–bintrayRepo <repo> (optional)

Override the Bintray repository.

–release <true | false> (default: true)

Should the files should be published after upload?

Bloop

This plugin generates bloop configuration from your build file, which lets you use the bloop CLI for compiling, and makes your scala code editable in Metals

Quickstart

In your terminal:

Generate Bloop project configuration
> mill --import ivy:com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-bloop:  mill.contrib.bloop.Bloop/install

It generate correct bloop config for any JavaModule, ScalaModule, ScalaJsModule or ScalaNativeModule under the .bloop folder

Mix-in

You can mix-in the Bloop.Module trait with any JavaModule to quickly access the deserialised configuration for that particular module:

build.sc
import mill._
import mill.scalalib._
import mill.contrib.bloop.Bloop

object MyModule extends ScalaModule with Bloop.Module {
  def myTask = T { bloop.config() }
}

Note regarding metals

Metals will automatically detect your mill workspace and generate the necessary files that bloop needs. You don’t need to manually include the bloop plugin in order for this to work. Also note that your mill/ammonite related .sc files are only partially supported by metals when located inside a project workspace.

Note regarding current mill support in bloop

The mill-bloop integration currently present in the bloop codebase will be deprecated in favour of this implementation.

BuildInfo

Generate scala code from your buildfile. This plugin generates a single object containing information from your build.

To declare a module that uses BuildInfo you must extend the mill.contrib.buildinfo.BuildInfo trait when defining your module.

Quickstart:

build.sc
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-buildinfo:`
import mill.contrib.buildinfo.BuildInfo

object project extends BuildInfo {
  val name = "poject-name"
  def  buildInfoMembers: T[Map[String, String]] = T {
    Map(
      "name" -> name),
      "scalaVersion" -> scalaVersion()
    )
  }
}

Configuration options

  • def buildInfoMembers: T[Map[String, String]] The map containing all member names and values for the generated info object.

  • def buildInfoObjectName: String, default: BuildInfo The name of the object which contains all the members from buildInfoMembers.

  • def buildInfoPackageName: Option[String], default: None The package name of the object.

BSP - Build Server Protocol

The contrib.bsp module is now included in mill by default and will eventually replace GenIdea.

Run the following command in the working directory of your project to generate the BSP config:

$ mill mill.bsp.BSP/install

Known Issues:

  • Sometimes build from IntelliJ might fail due to a NoClassDefFoundException being thrown during the evaluation of tasks, a bug not easy to reproduce. In this case it is recommended to refresh the bsp project.

Codeartifact

This plugin allows publishing to AWS Codeartifact.

Quickstart

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-codeartifact:`
import mill.contrib.codeartifact.CodeartifactPublishModule

object mymodule extends CodeartifactPublishModule {
  def codeartifactUri: String = "https://domain-name-domain-owner-id.d.codeartifact.region.amazonaws.com/maven/repo-name"
  def codeartifactSnapshotUri: String = "https://domain-name-domain-owner-id.d.codeartifact.region.amazonaws.com/maven/snapshot-repo-name"

  ...
}

Then in your terminal:

$ export CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN=`aws codeartifact get-authorization-token --domain domain-name --domain-owner domain-owner-id --query authorizationToken --output text --profile profile-name`
$ mill mymodule.publishCodeartifact --credentials '$CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN'

Docker

Automatically build docker images from your mill project.

Requires the docker CLI to be installed.

In the simplest configuration just extend DockerModule and declare a DockerConfig object.

build.sc
import mill._, scalalib._

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-docker:$MILL_VERSION`
import contrib.docker.DockerModule

object foo extends JavaModule with DockerModule {
  object docker extends DockerConfig
}

Then

$ mill foo.docker.build
$ docker run foo

Configuration

Configure the image by overriding tasks in the DockerConfig object

object docker extends DockerConfig {
  // Override tags to set the output image name
  def tags = List("aws_account_id.dkr.ecr.region.amazonaws.com/hello-repository")

  def baseImage = "openjdk:11"

  // Configure whether the docker build should check the remote registry for a new version of the base image before building.
  // By default this is true if the base image is using a latest tag
  def pullBaseImage = true
  // Add container metadata via the LABEL instruction
  def labels = Map("version" -> "1.0")
  // TCP ports the container will listen to
  def exposedPorts = Seq(8080, 443)
  // UDP ports the container will listen to
  def exposedUdpPorts = Seq(80)
  // The names of mount points, these will be translated to VOLUME instructions
  def volumes = Seq("/v1", "/v2")
  // Environment variables to be set in the container (ENV instructions)
  def envVars = Map("foo" -> "bar", "foobar" -> "barfoo")
  // Add RUN instructions
  def run = Seq(
    "/bin/bash -c 'echo Hello World!'",
    "useradd -ms /bin/bash new-user"
  )
  // User to use when running the image
  def user = "new-user"
  // Optionally override the docker executable to use something else
  def executable = "podman"
}

Run mill in interactive mode to see the docker client output, like mill -i foo.docker.build.

Flyway

Enables you to configure and run Flyway commands from your mill build file. The flyway module currently supports the most common flyway use cases with file based migrations.

Configure flyway by overriding settings in your module. For example

build.sc
import mill._, scalalib._

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-flyway:`
import contrib.flyway.FlywayModule

object foo extends ScalaModule with FlywayModule {
  def scalaVersion = "2.12.8"

  //region flyway
  def flywayUrl = "jdbc:postgresql:myDb" // required
  def flywayDriverDeps = Agg(ivy"org.postgresql:postgresql:42.2.5") // required
  def flywayUser = "postgres" // optional
  // def flywayPassword = "" // optional
  //endregion
}

Flyway will look for migration files in db/migration in all resources folders by default. This should work regardless of if you are using a mill or sbt project layout.

You can then run common flyway commands like

mill foo.flywayClean
mill foo.flywayInfo
mill foo.flywayMigrate
You should never hard-code credentials or check them into a version control system. You should write some code to populate the settings for flyway instead. For example def flywayPassword = T.input(T.ctx.env("FLYWAY_PASSWORD"))

Play Framework

This module adds basic Play Framework support to mill:

  • configures mill for Play default directory layout,

  • integrates the Play routes compiler,

  • provides helpers for commonly used framework libraries,

  • optionally: integrates the Twirl template engine,

  • optionally: configures mill for single module play applications.

There is no specific Play Java support, building a Play Java application will require a bit of customization (mostly adding the proper dependencies).

Using the plugin

There are 2 base modules and 2 helper traits in this plugin, all of which can be found in mill.playlib.

The base modules:

  • PlayModule applies the default Play configuration (layout, dependencies, routes compilation, Twirl compilation and Akka HTTP server)

  • PlayApiModule applies the default Play configuration without Twirl templating. This is useful if your Play app is a pure API server or if you want to use a different templating engine.

The two helper traits:

  • SingleModule can be useful to configure mill for a single module Play application such as the play-scala-seed project. Mill is multi-module by default and requires a bit more configuration to have source, resource, and test directories at the top level alongside the build.sc file. This trait takes care of that (See Using SingleModule below).

  • RouterModule allows you to use the Play router without the rest of the configuration (see Using the router module directly.)

Using PlayModule

In order to use the PlayModule for your application, you need to provide the scala, Play and Twirl versions. You also need to define your own test object which extends the provided PlayTests trait.

build.sc
import mill._
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-playlib:`,  mill.playlib._

object core extends PlayModule {
    //config
    override def scalaVersion= T{"2.12.8"}
    override def playVersion= T{"2.7.0"}
    override def twirlVersion= T{"1.4.0"}

    object test extends PlayTests
}

Using the above definition, your build will be configured to use the default Play layout:

.
├── build.sc
└── core
    ├── app
    │   ├── controllers
    │   └── views
    ├── conf
    │   └── application.conf
    │   └── routes
    │   └── ...
    ├── logs
    ├── public
    │   ├── images
    │   ├── javascripts
    │   └── stylesheets
    └── test
        └── controllers

The following compile dependencies will automatically be added to your build:

Agg(
  ivy"com.typesafe.play::play:${playVersion()}",
  ivy"com.typesafe.play::play-guice:${playVersion()}",
  ivy"com.typesafe.play::play-server:${playVersion()}",
  ivy"com.typesafe.play::play-logback:${playVersion()}"
)

Scala test will be setup as the default test framework and the following test dependencies will be added (the actual version depends on the version of Play you are pulling 2.6.x or 2.7.x):

ivy"org.scalatestplus.play::scalatestplus-play::4.0.1"

In order to have a working start command the following runtime dependency is also added:

ivy"com.typesafe.play::play-akka-http-server:${playVersion()}"

Using PlayApiModule

The PlayApiModule trait behaves the same as the PlayModule trait but it won’t process .scala .html files and you don’t need to define the `twirlVersion:

build.sc
import mill._
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-playlib:$MILL_VERSION`,  mill.playlib._

object core extends PlayApiModule {
    //config
    override def scalaVersion= T{"2.12.8"}
    override def playVersion= T{"2.7.0"}

    object test extends PlayTests
}

Play configuration options

The Play modules themselves don’t have specific configuration options at this point but the router module configuration options and the Twirl configuration options are applicable.

Additional play libraries

The following helpers are available to provide additional Play Framework dependencies:

  • core() - added by default ,

  • guice() - added by default,

  • server() - added by default,

  • logback() - added by default,

  • evolutions() - optional,

  • jdbc() - optional,

  • filters() - optional,

  • ws() - optional,

  • caffeine() - optional.

If you want to add an optional library using the helper you can do so by overriding ivyDeps like in the following example build:

build.sc
import mill._
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-playlib:$MILL_VERSION`, mill.playlib._

object core extends PlayApiModule {
    //config
    override def scalaVersion= T{"2.12.8"}
    override def playVersion= T{"2.7.0"}

    object test extends PlayTests

    override def ivyDeps = T{ super.ivyDeps() ++ Agg(ws(), filters()) }
}

Commands equivalence

Mill commands are targets on a named build. For example if your build is called core:

  • compile: core.compile

  • run: NOT Implemented yet. It can be approximated with mill -w core.runBackground but this starts a server in PROD mode which:

  • doesn’t do any kind of classloading magic (meaning potentially slower restarts)

  • returns less detailed error messages (no source code extract and line numbers)

  • can sometimes fail because of a leftover RUNNING_PID file

  • start: core.start or core.run both start the server in PROD mode.

  • test: core.test

  • dist: NOT Implemented yet. However you can use the equivalent core.assembly command to get a runnable fat jar of the project. The packaging is slightly different but should be find for a production deployment.

Using SingleModule

The SingleModule trait allows you to have the build descriptor at the same level as the source code on the filesystem. You can move from there to a multi-module build either by refactoring your directory layout into multiple subdirectories or by using mill’s nested modules feature.

Looking back at the sample build definition in Using PlayModule:

build.sc
import mill._
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-playlib:$MILL_VERSION`, mill.playlib._

object core extends PlayModule {
    //config
    override def scalaVersion= T{"2.12.8"}
    override def playVersion= T{"2.7.0"}
    override def twirlVersion= T{"1.4.0"}

    object test extends PlayTests
}

The directory layout was:

.
├── build.sc
└── core
    ├── app
    │   ├── controllers
    │   └── views
    ├── conf
    │   └── application.conf
    │   └── routes
    │   └── ...
    ├── logs
    ├── public
    │   ├── images
    │   ├── javascripts
    │   └── stylesheets
    └── test
        └── controllers

by mixing in the SingleModule trait in your build:

build.sc
import mill._
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-playlib:`,  mill.playlib._

object core extends PlayModule with SingleModule {
 //config
 override def scalaVersion= T{"2.12.8"}
 override def playVersion= T{"2.7.0"}
 override def twirlVersion= T{"1.4.0"}

 object test extends PlayTests
}

the layout becomes:

.
└── core
    ├── build.sc
    ├── app
    │   ├── controllers
    │   └── views
    ├── conf
    │   └── application.conf
    │   └── routes
    │   └── ...
    ├── logs
    ├── public
    │   ├── images
    │   ├── javascripts
    │   └── stylesheets
    └── test
        └── controllers

Using the router module directly

If you want to use the router module in a project which doesn’t use the default Play layout, you can mix-in the mill.playlib.routesModule trait directly when defining your module. Your app must define playVersion and scalaVersion.

build.sc
import mill._
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-playlib:`,  mill.playlib._

object app extends ScalaModule with RouterModule {
  def playVersion= T{"2.7.0"}
  def scalaVersion= T{"2.12.8"}
}
Router Configuration options
  • def playVersion: T[String] (mandatory) - The version of Play to use to compile the routes file.

  • def scalaVersion: T[String] - The scalaVersion in use in your project.

  • def routes: Sources - The directory which contains your route files. (Defaults to : routes/)

  • def routesAdditionalImport: Seq[String] - Additional imports to use in the generated routers. (Defaults to Seq("controllers.Assets.Asset", "play.libs.F")

  • def generateForwardsRouter: Boolean = true - Enables the forward router generation.

  • def generateReverseRouter: Boolean = true - Enables the reverse router generation.

  • def namespaceReverseRouter: Boolean = false - Enables the namespacing of reverse routers.

  • def generatorType: RouteCompilerType = RouteCompilerType.InjectedGenerator - The routes compiler type, one of RouteCompilerType.InjectedGenerator or RouteCompilerType.StaticGenerator

Details

The following filesystem layout is expected by default:

.
├── app
│   └── routes
│       └── routes
└── build.sc

RouterModule adds the compileRouter task to the module:

$ mill app.compileRouter

(it will be automatically run whenever you compile your module)

This task will compile routes templates into the out/app/compileRouter/dest directory. This directory must be added to the generated sources of the module to be compiled and made accessible from the rest of the code. This is done by default in the trait, but if you need to have a custom override for generatedSources you can get the list of files from routerClasses

To add additional imports to all of the routes:

build.sc
import mill.scalalib._

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-playlib:$MILL_VERSION`,  mill.playlib._

object app extends ScalaModule with RouterModule {
  def playVersion = "2.7.0"
  override def routesAdditionalImport = Seq("my.additional.stuff._", "my.other.stuff._")
}

Proguard

This module allows Proguard to be used in Mill builds. ProGuard is a Java class file shrinker, optimizer, obfuscator, and preverifier.

By default, all four steps - shrink, optimize, obfuscate, verify - are run, but this can be configured through task options. Any additional options can be specified as a list of strings with additionalOptions. The full list of proguard options can be found here.

The output of assembly is used as the input jar and the output is written to out.jar in the dest folder.

The stdout and stderr from the proguard command can be found under the dest folder.

The only default entrypoint is the main class (i.e. finalMainClass task). Additional entrypoints can be configured using additionalOptions as well.

Here is a simple example:

build.sc
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-proguard:`
import contrib.proguard._

object foo extends ScalaModule with Proguard {
  def scalaVersion = "2.12.0"

  override def shrink: T[Boolean] = T { true }
  override def optimize: T[Boolean] = T { false }
  override def obfuscate: T[Boolean] = T { false }
}

Also, please note that Proguard doesn’t seem to work with scala 2.13 yet.

ScalaPB

This module allows ScalaPB to be used in Mill builds. ScalaPB is a Protocol Buffers compiler plugin that generates Scala case classes, encoders and decoders for protobuf messages.

To declare a module that uses ScalaPB you can extend the mill.contrib.scalapblib.ScalaPBModule trait when defining your module.

This creates a Scala module which compiles .proto files in the protobuf folder of the module with ScalaPB and adds the resulting .scala sources to your module’s generatedSources.

build.sc
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-scalapblib:`
import contrib.scalapblib._

object example extends ScalaPBModule {
  def scalaVersion = "2.12.6"
  def scalaPBVersion = "0.7.4"
}

This defines a project with the following layout:

build.sc
example/
    src/
    protobuf/
    resources/

Configuration options

  • scalaPBVersion (mandatory) - The ScalaPB version String e.g. "0.7.4"

  • scalaPBFlatPackage - A Boolean option which determines whether the .proto file name should be appended as the final segment of the package name in the generated sources.

  • scalaPBJavaConversions - A Boolean option which determines whether methods for converting between the generated Scala classes and the Protocol Buffers Java API classes should be generated.

  • scalaPBGrpc - A Boolean option which determines whether grpc stubs should be generated.

  • scalaPBSingleLineToProtoString - A Boolean option which determines whether the generated .toString methods should use a single line format.

  • scalaPBProtocPath - A Option[Path] option which determines the protoc compiler to use. If None, a java embedded protoc will be used, if set to Some path, the given binary is used.

If you’d like to configure the options that are passed to the ScalaPB compiler directly, you can override the scalaPBOptions task, for example:

build.sc
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-scalapblib:`
import contrib.scalapblib._

object example extends ScalaPBModule {
  def scalaVersion = "2.12.6"
  def scalaPBVersion = "0.7.4"
  override def scalaPBOptions = "flat_package,java_conversions"
}

If you’d like to pass additional arguments to the ScalaPB compiler directly, you can override the scalaPBAdditionalArgs task, for example:

build.sc
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-scalapblib:$MILL_VERSION`
import contrib.scalapblib._

object example extends ScalaPBModule {
  def scalaVersion = "2.12.6"
  def scalaPBVersion = "0.7.4"
  override def scalaPBAdditionalArgs =
    Seq(s"--zio_out=${T.dest.toIO.getCanonicalPath}")
}

Scoverage

This module allows you to generate code coverage reports for Scala projects with Scoverage via the scalac-scoverage-plugin.

To declare a module for which you want to generate coverage reports you can extends the mill.contrib.scoverage.ScoverageModule trait when defining your module. Additionally, you must define a submodule that extends the ScoverageTests trait that belongs to your instance of ScoverageModule.

build.sc
import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-scoverage:`
import mill.contrib.scoverage.ScoverageModule

object foo extends ScoverageModule  {
  def scalaVersion = "2.12.9"
  def scoverageVersion = "1.4.0"

  object test extends ScoverageTests with TestModule.ScalaTest {
    def ivyDeps = Agg(ivy"org.scalatest::scalatest:3.0.8")
  }
}

In addition to the normal tasks available to your Scala module, Scoverage modules introduce a few new tasks and changes the behavior of an existing one.

mill foo.scoverage.compile      # compiles your module with test instrumentation
                                # (you don't have to run this manually, running the test task will force its invocation)

mill foo.test                   # tests your project and collects metrics on code coverage
mill foo.scoverage.htmlReport   # uses the metrics collected by a previous test run to generate a coverage report in html format
mill foo.scoverage.xmlReport    # uses the metrics collected by a previous test run to generate a coverage report in xml format

The measurement data is by default available at out/foo/scoverage/data/dest, the html report is saved in out/foo/scoverage/htmlReport.dest/, and the xml report is saved in out/foo/scoverage/xmlReport.dest/.

Multi-module projects

If you’re using Scoverage on a project with multiple modules then an additional module, ScoverageReport, is available to help aggregate the reports from all ScoverageModules.

Simply define a scoverage module at the root of your project as shown:

  object scoverage extends ScoverageReport {
    override def scalaVersion     = "<scala-version>"
    override def scoverageVersion = "<scoverage-version>"
  }

This provides you with various reporting functions:

mill __.test                     # run tests for all modules
mill scoverage.htmlReportAll     # generates report in html format for all modules
mill scoverage.xmlReportAll      # generates report in xml format for all modules
mill scoverage.consoleReportAll  # reports to the console for all modules

The aggregated report will be available at either out/scoverage/htmlReportAll.dest/ for html reports or out/scoverage/xmlReportAll.dest/ for xml reports.

TestNG

Provides support for TestNG.

To use TestNG as test framework, you need to add it to the TestModule.testFramework property.

build.sc
import mill.scalalib._

object project extends ScalaModule {
  object test extends Tests {
    def testFramework = "mill.testng.TestNGFramework"
    def ivyDeps = super.ivyDeps ++ Agg(
      ivy"com.lihaoyi:mill-contrib-testng:${mill.BuildInfo.millVersion}"
    )
  }
}

You can also use the more convenient TestModule.TestNg trait.

build.sc
import mill.scalalib._

object project extends ScalaModule {
  object test extends Tests with TestModule.TestNg
}

Twirl

Twirl templates support.

To declare a module that needs to compile twirl templates you must extend the mill.twirllib.TwirlModule trait when defining your module. Also note that twirl templates get compiled into scala code, so you also need to extend ScalaModule.

build.sc
import mill.scalalib._

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-twirllib:`,  mill.twirllib._

object app extends ScalaModule with TwirlModule {
// ...
}

Details

The following filesystem layout is expected:

build.sc
app/
  views/
    view1.scala.html
    view2.scala.html

TwirlModule adds the compileTwirl task to the module:

mill app.compileTwirl

(it will be automatically run whenever you compile your module)

This task will compile .scala.html templates (and others, like .scala.txt) into the out/app/compileTwirl/dest directory. This directory must be added to the generated sources of the module to be compiled and made accessible from the rest of the code:

build.sc
import mill.scalalib._

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-twirllib:`,  mill.twirllib._

object app extends ScalaModule with TwirlModule {
  def twirlVersion = "1.3.15"
  def generatedSources = T{ Seq(compileTwirl().classes) }
}

Twirl configuration options

def twirlVersion: T[String]

Mandatory - the version of the twirl compiler to use, like "1.3.15".

def twirlImports: T[Seq[String]]

The imports that will be added by the twirl compiler to the top of all templates, defaults to twirl’s default imports:

Seq(
  "_root_.play.twirl.api.TwirlFeatureImports._",
  "_root_.play.twirl.api.TwirlHelperImports._",
  "_root_.play.twirl.api.Html",
  "_root_.play.twirl.api.JavaScript",
  "_root_.play.twirl.api.Txt",
  "_root_.play.twirl.api.Xml"
)

To add additional imports to all of the twirl templates, override twirlImports in your build:

build.sc
import mill.scalalib._

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-twirllib:`,  mill.twirllib._

object app extends ScalaModule with TwirlModule {
  def twirlVersion = "1.3.15"
  override def twirlImports = super.twirlImports() ++ Seq("my.additional.stuff._", "my.other.stuff._")
  def generatedSources = T{ Seq(compileTwirl().classes) }
}

// out.template.scala
@import _root_.play.twirl.api.TwirlFeatureImports._
// ...
@import _root_.play.twirl.api.Xml
@import my.additional.stuff._
@import my.other.stuff._

To exclude the default imports, simply override twirlImports without calling super:

build.sc
object app extends ScalaModule with TwirlModule {
  // ...
  override def twirlImports = Seq("my.stuff._")
}

// out.template.scala
@import my.stuff._

def twirlFormats: Map[String, String]

A mapping of file extensions to class names that will be compiled by twirl, e.g. Map("html" -> "play.twirl.api.HtmlFormat"). By default html, xml, js, and txt files will be compiled using the corresponding twirl format.

To add additional formats, override twirlFormats in your build:

build.sc
import mill.scalalib._

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-twirllib:`,  mill.twirllib._

object app extends ScalaModule with TwirlModule {
  def twirlVersion = "1.3.15"
  override def twirlFormats = super.twirlFormats() + Map("svg" -> "play.twirl.api.HtmlFormat")
  def generatedSources = T{ Seq(compileTwirl().classes) }
}

def twirlConstructorAnnotations: Seq[String] = Nil

Annotations added to the generated classes' constructors (note it only applies to templates with @this(…​) constructors).

def twirlCodec = Codec(Properties.sourceEncoding)

The codec used to generate the files (the default is the same sbt plugin uses).

def twirlInclusiveDot: Boolean = false

Whether the twirl parser should parse with an inclusive dot.

Version file

This plugin provides helpers for updating a version file and committing the changes to git.

Note: You can still make manual changes to the version file in-between execution of the targets provided by the module. Each target operates on the version file as is at the time of execution.

Quickstart

Add a VersionFileModule to the build.sc file:

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-versionfile:`
import mill.contrib.versionfile.VersionFileModule

object versionFile extends VersionFileModule

The module will read and write to the file version located at the module’s millSourcePath. In the example above, that would be /versionFile/version relative to the build.sc file.

Create the version file with the initial version number:

$ 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT > versionFile/version

Then to write a release version or snapshot version to file:

$ mill versionFile.setReleaseVersion           # Sets release
$ mill versionFile.setNextVersion --bump minor # Sets snapshot

You can also make manual changes in-between:

$ mill versionFile.setReleaseVersion
$ echo 0.1.0 > versionFile/version
$ mill versionFile.setNextVersion --bump minor # Will now set the version to 0.2.0-SNAPSHOT

If you want to use the version file for publishing, you can do it like this:

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-versionfile:`
import mill.contrib.versionfile.VersionFileModule

object versionFile extends VersionFileModule

object mymodule extends PublishModule {
  def publishVersion = versionFile.currentVersion().toString
  ...
}

Configure the version file

If you want the version file to have another name, you will need to override the versionFile task.

If you have a project wide version file like in the example above, and you want the version file to reside at the root of the project, you can override millSourcePath:

import $ivy.`com.lihaoyi::mill-contrib-versionfile:`
import mill.contrib.versionfile.VersionFileModule

object versionFile extends VersionFileModule {
  def millSourcePath = millOuterCtx.millSourcePath
}

In this example, it would look for the file version in the same directory as the build.sc.

Set release version

The setReleaseVersion target removes the -SNAPSHOT identifier from the version, then overwrites the previous content in the version file with this new version.

Example

Your version file contains 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT. In your terminal you do the following:

$ mill versionFile.setReleaseVersion

This will update the version file to contain 0.1.0.

Set next version

The setNextVersion target bumps the version and changes it to a snapshot version, then overwrites the previous content in the version file with this new version.

Parameters

–bump (major | minor | patch)

Sets what segment of the version to bump.

For a version number 1.2.3 in the version file:

--bump major will set it to 2.0.0

--bump minor will set it to 1.3.0

--bump patch will set it to 1.2.4

Example

Your version file contains 0.1.0. In your terminal you do the following:

$ mill versionFile.setNextVersion --bump minor

This will update the version file to contain 0.2.0-SNAPSHOT.

Set version

The setVersion overwrites the previous content of the version file with an arbitrary version.

Parameters

–version x.y.z[-SNAPSHOT]

The version to write to the version file.

Example

Your version file contains 0.1.0. In your terminal you do the following:

$ mill versionFile.setVersion --version 0.5.2-SNAPSHOT

This will update the version file to contain 0.5.2-SNAPSHOT.

Output version numbers

If you need to output the version numbers (for example for other CI tools you might use), you can use the following commands:

# Show the current version from the version file.
$ mill show versionFile.currentVersion
# Show the version that would be used as release version.
$ mill show versionFile.releaseVersion
# Show the version that would be used as next version with the given --bump argument.
$ mill show versionFile.nextVersion --bump minor

VCS operations

The module has an exec task that allows you to execute tasks of type T[Seq[os.proc]]:

$ mill mill.contrib.versionfile.VersionFile/exec --procs versionFile.tag
$ mill mill.contrib.versionfile.VersionFile/exec --procs versionFile.push

Built-in git operations

The VersionFileModule comes with two tasks of this type:

Tag

Commits the changes, then creates a tag with the current version for that commit.

Push

Commits the changes, then pushes the changes to origin/master with tags.

Custom operations

It’s possible to override the tasks above, or add your own tasks, to adapt the module to work with other version control systems than git.
