Bash Completion

Limited bash completion support.

Project home: https://github.com/lefou/mill-bash-completion

DGraph

Show transitive dependencies of your build in your browser.

Project home: https://github.com/ajrnz/mill-dgraph

Quickstart

import $ivy.`com.github.ajrnz::mill-dgraph:0.2.0`

sh> mill plugin.dgraph.browseDeps(proj)()

Ensime

Create an .ensime file for your build.

Project home: https://github.com/davoclavo/mill-ensime

Quickstart

import mill._
interp.repositories() =
  interp.repositories() ++ Seq(coursier.MavenRepository("https://jitpack.io"))

@

import $ivy.`com.github.yyadavalli::mill-ensime:0.0.2`

You can then run the following to generate the .ensime file

mill fun.valycorp.mill.GenEnsime/ensimeConfig

Optionally, you can specify the ensime server version using the –server flag like

mill fun.valycorp.mill.GenEnsime/ensimeConfig --server "3.0.0-SNAPSHOT"

Git

A git version plugin for mill.

Project home: https://github.com/joan38/mill-git

build.sc:

import $ivy.`com.goyeau::mill-git:<latest version>`
import com.goyeau.mill.git.GitVersionedPublishModule
import mill.scalalib.JavaModule
import mill.scalalib.publish.{Developer, License, PomSettings, VersionControl}

object `jvm-project` extends JavaModule with GitVersionedPublishModule {
  override def pomSettings = PomSettings(
    description = "JVM Project",
    organization = "com.goyeau",
    url = "https://github.com/joan38/mill-git",
    licenses = Seq(License.MIT),
    versionControl = VersionControl.github("joan38", "mill-git"),
    developers = Seq(Developer("joan38", "Joan Goyeau", "https://github.com/joan38"))
  )
}

> mill show jvm-project.publishVersion
[1/1] show
[2/2] com.goyeau.mill.git.GitVersionModule.version
"0.0.0-470-6d0b3d9"

Integration Testing Mill Plugins

Integration testing for mill plugins.

Project home: https://github.com/lefou/mill-integrationtest

Quickstart

We assume, you have a mill plugin named mill-demo

// build.sc
import mill._, mill.scalalib._
object demo extends ScalaModule with PublishModule {
  // ...
}

Add a new test sub-project, e.g. itest.

// build.sc
import $ivy.`de.tototec::de.tobiasroeser.mill.integrationtest_mill0.9:0.4.0`
import de.tobiasroeser.mill.integrationtest._

object demo extends ScalaModule with PublishModule {
  // ...
}

object itest extends MillIntegrationTestModule {

  def millTestVersion = "0.9.3"

  def pluginsUnderTest = Seq(demo)

}

Your project should now look similar to this:

.
+-- demo/
|   +-- src/
|
+-- it/
    +-- src/
        +-- 01-first-test/
        |   +-- build.sc
        |   +-- src/
        |
        +-- 02-second-test/
            +-- build.sc

As the buildfiles build.sc in your test cases typically want to access the locally built plugin(s), the plugins publishes all plugins referenced under pluginsUnderTest to a temporary ivy repository, just before the test is executed. The mill version used in the integration test then used that temporary ivy repository.

Instead of referring to your plugin with import $ivy.'your::plugin:version', you can use the following line instead, which ensures you will use the correct locally build plugins.

// build.sc
import $exec.plugins

Effectively, at execution time, this line gets replaced by the content of plugins.sc, a file which was generated just before the test started to execute.

Please always refer to the official plugin documentation site for complete and up-to-date information.

JBake

Create static sites/blogs with JBake.

Plugin home: https://github.com/lefou/mill-jbake

JBake home: https://jbake.org

Quickstart

// build.sc
import mill._
import $ivy.`de.tototec::de.tobiasroeser.mill.jbake:0.1.0`
import de.tobiasroeser.mill.jbake._

object site extends JBakeModule {

  def jbakeVersion = "2.6.4"

}

Generate the site:

bash> mill site.jbake

Start a local Web-Server on Port 8820 with the generated site:

bash> mill site.jbakeServe

JBuildInfo

This is a mill module similar to BuildInfo but for Java. It will generate a Java class containing information from your build.

Project home: https://github.com/carueda/mill-jbuildinfo

To declare a module that uses this plugin, extend the com.github.carueda.mill.JBuildInfo trait and provide the desired information via the buildInfoMembers method:

// build.sc
import $ivy.`com.github.carueda::jbuildinfo:0.1.2`
import com.github.carueda.mill.JBuildInfo
import mill.T

object project extends JBuildInfo {
  def buildInfoMembers: T[Map[String, String]] = T {
    Map(
      "name" -> "some name",
      "version" -> "x.y.z"
    )
  }
}

This will generate:

// BuildInfo.java
public class BuildInfo {
  public static final String getName() { return "some name"; }
  public static final String getVersion() { return "x.y.z"; }
}

Configuration options

def buildInfoMembers: T[Map[String, String]]

The map containing all member names and values for the generated class.

def buildInfoClassName: String, default: BuildInfo

The name of the class that will contain all the members from buildInfoMembers.

def buildInfoPackageName: Option[String], default: None

The package name for the generated class.

Kotlin

Kotlin compiler support for mill.

Project home: https://github.com/lefou/mill-kotlin

Quickstart

// Load the plugin from Maven Central via ivy/coursier
import $ivy.`de.tototec::de.tobiasroeser.mill.kotlin_mill0.9:0.2.0`

import mill._
import mill.scalalib._
import mill.define._

import de.tobiasroeser.mill.kotlin._

object main extends KotlinModule {

  // Select the Kotlin version
  def kotlinVersion = "1.4.21"

  // Set additional Kotlin compiler options, e.g. the language level and annotation processor
  // Run `mill main.kotlincHelp` to get a list of supported options
  def kotlincOptions = super.kotlincOptions() ++ Seq("-verbose")

}

Documentation

For documentation please visit the mill-kotlin project page.

You will find there also a version compatibility matrix.

Mill Wrapper Scripts

Small script to automatically fetch and execute mill build tool.

Project home: https://github.com/lefou/millw

How it works

millw is a small wrapper script around mill and works almost identical to mill. It automatically downloads a mill release into $HOME/.mill/download.

The mill version to be used will be determined by the following steps. The search ends, after the first step that results in a version.

If the first parameter is --mill-version, the second parameter will be used as the mill version. Example

` sh $ mill --mill-version 0.3.6 --disable-ticker version 0.3.6 `

If there is a file .mill-version in the working directory, it’s content will be used as mill version. The file must have only a mill version as content, no additional content or comments are supported. Example

` sh $ echo -n "0.3.6" > .mill-version sh $ mill --disable-ticker version 0.3.6 `

The values of the DEFAULT_MILL_VERSION variable inside the script will be used.

Use cases

As mill executable

Istead of installing mill, you can just place the script into you local $HOME/bin directory and rename it to mill.

If you need a special mill version in a project directory, just place a .mill-version file with the best mill version. Example: setting mill 0.3.6 as best local mill version

sh $ echo -n "0.3.6" > .mill-version

As a wrapper script in your project

To make the start for others easier or to always have the correct mill version in your CI environment, you can just place a copy of the script as millw in your project root directory.

You should change the DEFAULT_MILL_VERSION variable in that script to the correct version you want to use and add the file under version control.

OSGi

Produce OSGi Bundles with mill.

Project home: https://github.com/lefou/mill-osgi

Quickstart

import mill._, mill.scalalib._
import $ivy.`de.tototec::de.tobiasroeser.mill.osgi:0.0.5`
import de.tobiasroeser.mill.osgi._

object project extends ScalaModule with OsgiBundleModule {

  def bundleSymbolicName = "com.example.project"

  def osgiHeaders = T{ super.osgiHeaders().copy(
    `Export-Package`   = Seq("com.example.api"),
    `Bundle-Activator` = Some("com.example.internal.Activator")
  )}

  // other settings ...

}

PublishM2

Since Mill 0.6.1-27-f265a4 there is a built-in publishM2Local target in PublishModule.

Mill plugin to publish artifacts into a local Maven repository.

Project home: https://github.com/lefou/mill-publishM2

Quickstart

Just mix-in the PublishM2Module into your project. PublishM2Module already extends mill’s built-in PublishModule.

File: build.sc

import mill._, scalalib._, publish._

import $ivy.`de.tototec::de.tobiasroeser.mill.publishM2:0.0.1`
import de.tobiasroeser.mill.publishM2._

object project extends PublishModule with PublishM2Module {
  // ...
}

Publishing to default local Maven repository

> mill project.publishM2Local
[40/40] project.publishM2Local
Publishing to /home/user/.m2/repository

Publishing to custom local Maven repository

> mill project.publishM2Local /tmp/m2repo
[40/40] project.publishM2Local
Publishing to /tmp/m2repo

import mill.scalalib._

// Load the plugin from Maven Central via ivy/coursier
import $ivy.`de.tototec::de.tobiasroeser.mill.vcs.version::0.1.2`
import de.tobiasroeser.mill.vcs.version.VcsVersion

object main extends JavaModule with PublishModule {
  override def publishVersion: T[String] = VcsVersion.vcsState().format()
}
