Description

In sbt-dotty/sbt-test, some incremental compilation tests ported from Zinc are marked as disabled. The reason is that we are missing some sbt tasks such as:

  • checkRecompilations
  • checkClasses
  • checkDependencies
  • check-products

An example on how to implement these tasks for Dotty can be found here. Zinc reference implementation can be found here.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Zinc reference implementation of the missing sbt tasks and port them to the Dotty build setup following the example provided.
