Doesn't work when there's a package named "scala".

[cakoose]

Reduced test case:

steps (0.10.0)

package bug

case class Point(x: Int, y: Int)

object Test {
  import _root_.scala.pickling._, Defaults._
  import binary._

  def serialize(obj: Point): Array[Byte] = obj.pickle.value
    // ERROR: object pickling is not a member of package bug.scala
}

// If you comment this package out, compilation succeeds.
package scala {
  case class Hello(n: String)
}

problem

[error] pickling/sandbox/scala/test.scala:9: Cannot generate a pickler for bug.Point. Recompile with -Xlog-implicits for details
[error]   def serialize(obj: Point): Array[Byte] = obj.pickle.value
[error]                                                ^

notes

• Platform: Mac OS 10.9.4, Java 1.7.0_67, Scala 2.11.12
• Built scala/pickling from the latest source (0.9.x branch, commit 61d9f198c21c573d4bf929d5eb682a16f20f719a)

I tried modifying the scala/pickling source and changing a bunch of scala.whatever references to _root_.scala.whatever. I think this got me further, but I just hit a different error message.

I can reproduce this with Pickling 0.10.0.

Experiencing this with a Play app, 1 year after no way around it?

Not in 0.10.0, which has been abandoned in favor of the upcoming 0.11.x, which will be released soon (probably mid-June). This looks like a hygiene problem and, in that case, it's being completely fixed in the new version.

There's no official release of it, but if it's urgent you can publish it locally and use this as release notes (note they're not completed and will not until the official release).
