  • Semver violations are common, better tooling is the answer

    In the Scala ecosystem, MiMa [1] has been in widespread use for years. It automatically checks compatibility for the binary API of a library. Every library with any amount of success uses it. One could say it's the foundation of a stable ecosystem. We also have sbt-version-policy [2] to set it up with minimal configuration (and directly relate it to SemVer).

    More recently, we got tasty-mima [3], which checks compatibility at the type system level, rather than the binary level.

  • sbt/scalatest library or plugin that only re-runs tests for code that changed

    Off the top of my head, a naive & approximate solution would be to use test coverage to find out which tests test which blocks of code. Then, when a binary, syntactic incompatibility is detected, re-run only these tests captured for that piece of code.
