permanently hidden warning in scala application

Question

I get the following warning whenever I start my Scala application:

WARN - imported `SVNProperties\' is permanently hidden by definition of object SVNProperties in packag

Answer 1

I had a main class with name Server and I was creating a jetty server in the main class in the following way.

 import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server

 var server:Server=new Server()

I got the below warn on running sbt run

 > [warn] /home/xxx/xxx/xxx/src/main/scala/com/xxx/xxx/main/Server.scala:3:

> imported `Server' is permanently hidden by definition of object Server in package main
    [warn] import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server
    [warn]                                 ^
    [warn] one warning found

I renamed my main class and the warning disappeared.

Answer 2

If you are using Scala Eclipse IDE you can do :

Project > Clean...

After that all the warning will be removed.

Answer 3

I got this by having circular dependencies. Both my classes were using each other on accident.

Answer 4

If the warning comes from importing a class with the same name, you can always use import renaming.

package domain

case class Company (...

---

package models

import domain.{Company => _Company}

object Company extends SkinnyCRUDMapper[_Company] {
