The Migration Manager for Scala (MiMa in short) is a tool for diagnosing binary incompatibilities for Scala libraries.
Please, use the mima-user Mailing List for questions and comments.
MiMa is split into Several modules:
- Core: Classes that are used for detection.
- Core-UI: UI Classes that can be re-used between different detectors.
- Reporter: Raw reporting classes and the command line interface.
- Reporter-UI: Swing interface to the reporter.
- SBT Plugin: The SBT plugin for usage inside SBT builds.
The SBT Plugin is released for SBT version 0.11.3. To try it, do the following:
- Add the following to your
project/project/build.scalafile:
resolvers += Resolver.url("sbt-plugin-releases", new URL("http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-releases/"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe" % "sbt-mima-plugin" % "0.1.3")
- Add the following to your
build.sbtfile:
import com.typesafe.tools.mima.plugin.MimaPlugin.mimaDefaultSettings
import com.typesafe.tools.mima.plugin.MimaKeys.previousArtifact
mimaDefaultSettings
previousArtifact := Some("com.jsuereth" % "scala-arm_2.9.1" % "1.2")
But replacing the scala-arm example with your own artifact.
- Run
mima-report-binary-issues. You should see something like the following:

In order to create Eclipse metadata files (i.e., .classpath and .project) we recomend to use sbteclipse. Once done, to set up the three modules in Eclipse just click on File > Import > General > Exisiting Projects Into Workspace, and select the MiMa project's root folder, the three modules should be correctly loaded.
Using the xsbt tool.
$ xsbt clean update compile
Make sure to use tag 0.11.3, installation notes can be found here.
This will recompile all MiMa's modules.
If you'd like to create distributable jar files run:
$ xsbt assembly
This will create reporter/target/mima-reporter-assembly-....jar and reporter-ui/target/mima-reporter-ui-assembly-....jar jar files that can be used to launch the command line and ui version of MiMa.
Type the following command to run the MiMa Reporter
$ xsbt reporter-ui/run
Type the following command to run the MiMa Reporter command-line
$ xsbt reporter/run
The directory containing the MiMa Reporter module ('reporter') there is a 'functional-tests' folder that contains several functional tests exercising the system. All tests are executed as part of the build, therefore when running
$ xsbt test-functional
if one (or more) test fails the build is stop and no jar will not be produced.
To add a new functional test to the suite, create a new folder within 'functional-tests' directory with the following structure:
functional-tests
|
| --> <your-new-test-folder> (folder for your new test)
|
|-----> problems.txt (the expected list of reported errors - 1 line per error)
|-----> v1 (folder containing sources @ version 1)
|-----> v2 (folder containing sources @ version 2)
After doing that, reload if you are in a xsbt console session (if that makes nosense to you, it means you are fine and you can run the test as usual).
Tests within the functional-tests folder should always pass.
Note: The problems.txt is the test oracle. Expected errors are declared using the Mima's reporting output (i.e., the output of the tool and the expected errors should match perfectly). Admittedly, this coupling is an issue since the testing framework is highly coupled with the tool output used to report errors to the user. We should improve this and make the two independent. Until then, mind that by changing the output of the tool you will likely have to update some of the test oracles (i.e., problems.txt file).
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - Java heap space: If you are experiencing out of memory exception you may need to increase the VM arguments for the initial heap size and the maximum heap size. The default values are -Xms64m for for the initial heap size and -Xmx256m for the maximum heap size.
