0.12.0 - 2024-10-23

The Mill 0.12.0 release focuses on improving the scalability of Mill builds: in terms of performance, code organization, adherence to best practices, and community.

Major changes:

  1. Mill now runs tasks parallel by default, rather than opt-in. This includes a new parallel-friendly terminal UI, task and test sandboxing to guard against race conditions, parallelization of test suites, and other measures optimizing for parallel builds

  2. Mill now uses build.mill rather than build.sc as the primary file extension, to avoid confusion with Scala-CLI or Ammonite scripts, and the T/T.worker/T.input syntax has been deprecated in favor of Task/Task.Worker/T.Input for a more idiomatic style

  3. Mill now supports for Modularizing Large Builds into multiple package.mill files, to help support large codebases and incremental compilation of the build files.

  4. Mill now provides official support for Writing Mill Plugins, with tested workflows and an official testkit to help you write and publish your own Mill plugins for others to use

  5. Mill now supports other JVM langauges: Java, experimental support for Kotlin/KotlinJs, and even-more-experimental support for Android. This includes IDE integrations, tooling integrations (docs, autoformatters, linters, testing frameworks, etc.)

  6. The Mill doc-site at https://mill-build.org/ has undergone a massive overhaul. New comparisons with other build tools of (Maven, Gradle, SBT), documentation for adding new language toolchains and running dynamic JVM code, and re-organized the pages for Scala/Java/Kotlin by-use-case to make them more navigable

For a more detailed view of Mill changes since 0.11.12, along with migration instructions, see the sections below on:

0.12.x is binary compatible with 0.11.x, and so Mill plugins published for Mill 0.11.x can continue to be used without updating them. Although binary compatible, Mill 0.12.x does have breaking changes listed below with instructions provided on how to either disable the breaking change with a flag or adjust your code to accommodate it. You should download the latest version of the Mill Bootstrap Script if you are upgrading from a prior version.

If you need help upgrading from 0.11.x or hit any issues, please visit the #mill Discord Channel or 0.12.x Github Discussion Thread. We’d love to hear from you on your experience with Mill in general and Mil 0.12.x in particular

0.12.0 Changes since RC3

  • Mill now takes a lock on the out/ folder whenver evaluating it to avoid race conditions on disk. #3599. Pass in --no-build-lock to disable it at your own risk

  • Update Zinc to 0.10.3 to fix issues with over-compilation #3748

  • runIvyDeps is now transitive, as is the newly-introduced runModuleDeps, to try and match the semantics of runtime deps in Mavenhttps://github.com/com-lihaoyi/mill/pull/3774[#3774]

0.12.0-RC3 - 2024-10-04

Changes since 0.12.0-RC2

  • -j/--jobs now allows computed values of the form -j 0.5C (half as many jobs as cores) or -j C-2 (two less jobs than cores) to allow for automatic scaling based on the number of cores available #3554

  • Fix testOnly handling of ScalaTest tagged tests #3557

  • Make ./mill without any arguments point you towards --help, flesh out --help into a cheat sheet #3556

  • Use Task instead of T when constructing targets and other tasks #3565. The new syntax (given below) is intended to be more idiomatic Scala and less idiosyncratic. The old syntax will continue to work for backwards compatibility, but using the new syntax is recommended

    • T {…​} → Task {…​}

    • T.command {…​} → Task.Command {…​}

    • T.input {…​} → Task.Input {…​}

    • T.source {…​} → Task.Source {…​}

    • T.sources {…​} → Task.Sources {…​}

    • T.persistent {…​} → Task(persistent = true) {…​}

    • T.task {…​} → Task.Anon {…​}

  • Introduced Task.Command(exclusive = true) to allow explicit annotation of which commands need to run without parallelism, allowing .test and other commands to run parallel by default #3617

  • Lots of added docs for Building Kotlin with Mill:

    • Kotlin Build Examples and Linting #3555, with KtLint and Detekt support

    • Kotlin Module Configuration #3585

    • Publishing and Testing Kotlin with Mill #3589

    • Using Mill to build a Ktor web server #3621

  • Additional support for Kotlin tools and frameworks

  • Show Worker tasks in resolve/show/inspect #3580

  • mill clean now terminates Worker tasks #3579

  • Overhaul of the terminal "ticker" UI for displaying task progress to better support parallel builds #3577

    • Mill now shows all active tasks and their duration at the bottom of your terminal

    • Stream task logs are now prefixed with the task index on the left and the task name above, so you can attribute each line of logs to the task that generated it

  • Add API for tasks to spawn concurrent and parallel futures via Task.fork.{async,await} #3478

  • Allow large test modules with many classes to be broken up to use multiple concurrent JVMs by overriding def testForkGrouping #3478

  • Use coursier thread pool to run coursier-related tasks to avoid deadlocks #3614

  • inspect now shows useful information when used on modules, not just tasks #3532

$ ./mill inspect dist0
dist0(build.mill:745)
    Version of [[dist]] meant for local integration testing within the Mill
    repo. Looks mostly the same as [[dist]], except it does not have a reference
    to itself in its [[testTransitiveDeps]], to avoid a circular dependency.

Inherited Modules: MillPublishJavaModule

Module Dependencies: runner, idea

Default Task: dist0.run

Tasks: dist0.fix, dist0.testTransitiveDeps

  • mill init now supports creating a project based on examples from Mill’s documentation #3583, and unpacks the example into the current folder rather than a subfolder #3626

  • MILL_TEST_RESOURCE_FOLDER has been renamed to MILL_TEST_RESOURCE_DIR for consistency with other environment variable names #3637

0.12.0-RC2 - 2024-09-16

Changes since 0.12.0-RC1

  • Support exclude attribute in Dep parser. You can give exclusions with ;exclude=org:name or ;exclude=org:* or ;exclude=*:name #3492

  • Fix ScalaModule#console by properly inheriting streams #3500

  • Adjust codegen to allow custom mainargs.TokensReaders, and include a mainargs.TokensReader[os.Path] by default for convenience #3504

  • Update to OS-Lib 0.10.7 to allow concise multi-segment sub-paths; you can now write os.pwd / "foo/bar/qux" rather than os.pwd / "foo" / "bar" / "qux"

  • Add JavaModule.mandatoryJavacOptions. Those are not propagated to the inner test traits intentionally, since those options are typically configured by other means, e.g. dedicated targets. #3503

  • Add plugins to run Checkstyle and generate reports #3516

  • Simplified PublishModule's publishing setup via #3523. You can now run mill mill.scalalib.PublishModule/ with the proper environment variables (below) and it should do the right thing by default

    • Prefix all environment variables with MILL_: MILL_SONATYPE_USERNAME, MILL_SONATYPE_PASSWORD, MILL_PGP_SECRET_BASE64, MILL_PGP_PASSPHRASE to try and add some rudimentary ownership and namespacing

  • Allow external modules to have a defaultCommandName #3545. This has been applied to ScalafmtModule and PublishModule, so you can now autoformat your code via mill mill.scalalib.ScalafmtModule/ and publish it via mill mill.scalalib.PublishModule/ without needing the /reformatAll .sources or /publishAll .publishArtifacts suffix

  • Integrated Kotlin integration as a first partly module and add example documentation #3514. This is still pretty spartan, but we expect to flesh it out over time

  • Move .mill.sc alternate file extension to .mill.scala #3521

0.12.0-RC1 - 2024-09-09

  • Breaking Changes

    • Build file overhaul: Mill’s build file management has been overhauled to better support large projects. See Structuring Large Builds for details

      • Mill now uses .mill as its file extension, with some semantic changes from the old .sc files to allow better IDE support. The .sc extension is still supported and its semantics are largely unchanged the ease the migration, but you should convert your Mill configs to .mill files to benefit from Mill’s improved IDE experience going forward.

      • The build.sc file has been renamed build.mill to prevent confusion with Ammonite/Scala-CLI scripts, and all associated .sc files have been renamed to .mill.

        • Until IntelliJ-Scala adds support for .mill files built in, you can add it yourself via Settings / Editor / File Types / Scala and add the pattern *.mill

      • All .mill files must have a package declaration, with package build for .mill files in the root folder and package build.foo.bar for .mill files in foo/bar/.

        • The package declaration remains optional for legacy .sc files

      • Only foo.mill files in folders directly containing a build.mill or package.mill can be imported via import $file.

        • You need to create empty package.mill files in any folder containing scripts if they are not already adjacent to your build.mill in the root folder

        • foo.sc files can continue to be imported from arbitrary paths, to ease in the migration

      • Builds can now be modularized into per-folder definitions by defining package.mill files in subfolders #3213. You can no longer define targets and modules in arbitrary foo.sc files

        • All target and module definitions must be moved into package.mill files in each folder.

      • $file references in .mill files are now absolute from the project root, and thus .^ to refer to parent package is no longer supported, for consistency with other programming environments

        • $file references in old .sc files are unchanged and continue being relative, preserving the current behavior.

    • RootModules can only be named package, e.g. object foo extends RootModule must now be named object package extends RootModule.

      • If you have an existing RootModule, you need to rename it object package extends RootModule

    • Turn on parallelism for task evaluation by default, except for commands which always run serially at the end #3265

      • This can be disabled by passing --jobs 1

    • Mill uses empty sandbox folders as the working directory for running its own code and #3367 and test suites #3347, to avoid accidental interference between tasks and tests due to parallelism. See Mill Sandboxing for details

      • This can be disabled by adding def testSandboxWorkingDir = false in your test module

    • Mill commands now require arguments to be passed named via ./mill mycommand --key value, rather than allowing just ./mill mycommand value. #3431.

      • You can pass in --allow-positional-command-args to fall back to the old behavior, or use @mainargs.arg(positional = true) on individual parameters

    • Dropped support for Java 8, Scala 2.11.x/3.1.x, and Scala-Native 0.4.x, following suit with the rest of the com-lihaoyi ecosystem. We now expect a minimum of Java 11, Scala 2.12.x/3.2.x, and Scala-Native 0.5.x

    • --disable-callgraph-invalidation is no longer supported. The flag is still accepted but is now a no-op.

  • Other Changes

    • Overhaul the Mill client-server protocol to improve robustness #3363 #3366 #3368 #3370

    • Mill now has explicitly supported workflows for third-party plugin authors, and publishes unit, integration, and example test fixtures for writing plugins as mill-testkit #3398 for downstream plugin authors to use in testing their own Mill extensions.

      • See Writing Mill Plugins for more details.

      • mill-testkit is experimental and does not provide the same stability or binary-compatibility guarantees as the rest of Mill. Nevertheless, if you are writing Mill plugins, please try it out and let us know what you think!

    • Bump default Sonatype Maven Central publishing timeouts to 10 minutes to avoid timeouts due to slowness https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/mill/commit/b4c9386b0233fab53a312426715e226e4a7f6302

    • Importing Mill projects into IntelliJ via BSP now properly marks the out/, .idea/, and .bsp/ folders as excluded #3329

    • Optimizations to Mill evaluation logic to reduce fixed overhead of running Mill on large projects #3388

    • Improvements to visualize and visualizePlan such that they no longer need to be prefixed with show and no longer need a separate graphviz/dot install on Mac-OSX #3438
