Can a Scala script reference other uncompiled scala code in the same directory?
classpath, scala
Solution
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but from the Scala REPL shell you can do
:load hello.scala
:load do.scala
to achieve the same result:
$ scala
Welcome to Scala version 2.9.1 (Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM, Java 1.6.0_26).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.
scala> :load hello.scala
Loading hello.scala...
defined module hello
scala> :load do.scala
Loading do.scala...
hello world
scala>
If you're wanting something non-interactive for scripting
$ cat <<EOF | scala
:load hello.scala
:load do.scala
EOF
works too.
Use `:help` for more interesting things the REPL shell can do.
Problem
If I have two separate uncompiled scala files in the same directory as: ``` // hello.scala object hello { def world() = println("hello world") } ``` and: ``` // do.scala hello.world() ``` I get an error when running do.scala: ``` $ scala do.scala error: not found: value hello ``` Instead I have to compile the hello.scala file first and put it on the classpath to get it to work: ``` $ scalac hello.scala $ scala -cp hello do.scala hello world ``` Is there a way to get one script to call the other uncompiled scala file using the right use of import, package, classpath, the scala command line tool or something else?
