User documentation
For detailed documentation, refer to scala3-migrate section in the migration guide
Usage
scala3-migrate has been designed to make the migration to scala 3 easier.
It proposes an incremental approach that can be described as follows:
- Migrating the library dependencies: using Coursier, it checks, for every library dependency, if there are versions available for Scala 3.
- Migrating the Scala compiler options (
scalacOptions): some compiler options of Scala 2 have been removed in Scala 3, others have been renamed, and some remain the same. This step helps you find how to evolve the compiler options of your project. - Migrating the syntax: this step relies on Scalafix and on existing rules to fix deprecated syntax that no longer compiles in Scala 3
- Migrating the code: as explained in the section of type-inference, Scala 3 has a new type inference algorithm that may infer a different type than the one inferred by the Scala 2 compiler. This last step tries to find the minimum set of types to explicitly annotate in order to make the Scala 3 compiler work on a project without changing its meaning.
Requirements
- sbt 1.4 or higher
- java 8 or 11
- scala 2.13, preferred 2.13.5
Installation
// project/plugins.sbt
addSbtPlugin("ch.epfl.scala" % "sbt-scala3-migrate" % "0.4.1")
// sbt-dotty is not needed anymore since sbt 1.5.0-M1
addSbtPlugin("ch.epfl.lamp" % "sbt-dotty" % "0.5.3")
Porting the build
The first step of the migration is to choose a single module that is going to be ported first. We will proceed with its migration then we will start again with another module.
If the chosen module is an aggregate project, only its own sources will be migrated, not the sources of its subprojects. Each subproject needs to be ported separately, one at a time.
We will port this simple build definition
lazy val main = project
.in(file("."))
.settings(
name := "main",
scalaVersion := V.scala213,
semanticdbEnabled := true,
scalacOptions ++= Seq("-explaintypes", "-Wunused"),
libraryDependencies += compilerPlugin("org.typelevel" %% "kind-projector" % "0.11.0" cross CrossVersion.full),
libraryDependencies += compilerPlugin("com.olegpy" %% "better-monadic-for" % "0.3.1"),
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.typelevel" %% "cats-core" % "2.2.0",
"ch.epfl.scala" % "scalafix-interfaces" % "0.9.26",
"com.softwaremill.scalamacrodebug" %% "macros" % "0.4.1" % Test,
"ch.epfl.scala" %% "scalafix-rules" % "0.9.26" % Test
)
)
Migrating libraryDependencies
> migrate-libs main
[info] Starting to migrate libDependencies for main
[info]
[info] X : Cannot be updated to scala 3
[info] Valid : Already a valid version for Scala 3
[info] To be updated : Need to be updated to the following version
[info]
[info] com.softwaremill.scalamacrodebug:macros:0.4.1:test -> X : Contains Macros and is not yet published for 3.0.0-RC1
[info] com.olegpy:better-monadic-for:0.3.1:plugin->default(compile) -> X : Scala 2 compiler plugins are not supported in scala 3.0.0-RC1. You need to find an alternative
[info] ch.epfl.scala:scalafix-interfaces:0.9.26 -> Valid
[info] org.typelevel:cats-core:2.2.0 -> "org.typelevel" %% "cats-core" % "2.4.2"
[info] ch.epfl.scala:scalafix-rules:0.9.26:test -> "ch.epfl.scala" % "scalafix-rules_2.13" % "0.9.26" % "test"
[info] org.typelevel:kind-projector:0.11.0:plugin->default(compile) -> -Ykind-projector : This compiler plugin has a scalacOption equivalent. Add it to your scalacOptions
In this case you need to find alternative to better-monadic-for and make the project compile without the plugin. For com.softwaremill.scalamacrodebug:macros which is a macro lib, it won't be possible to migrate until it's published for 3.0.0-RC1.
The ported build would look like: (if we consider possible to remove com.softwaremill.scalamacrodebug:macros)
lazy val main = project
.in(file("."))
.settings(
name := "main",
scalaVersion := V.scala213,
semanticdbEnabled := true,
scalacOptions ++= (if (scalaVersion.value.startsWith("3.0")) Seq("-explaintypes", "-Wunused", "-Ykind-projector")
else Seq("-explaintypes", "-Wunused")),
libraryDependencies ++= (
if (scalaVersion.value.startsWith("3.0")) Seq()
else
Seq(compilerPlugin("org.typelevel" %% "kind-projector" % "0.11.0" cross CrossVersion.full))
),
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.typelevel" %% "cats-core" % "2.4.2",
"ch.epfl.scala" % "scalafix-interfaces" % "0.9.26",
"ch.epfl.scala" % "scalafix-rules_2.13" % "0.9.26" % Test
)
)
Migrating scalacOptions
> migrate-scalacOptions main
[info]
[info] Starting to migrate the scalacOptions for main
[warn] Some scalacOptions are set by sbt plugins and don't need to be modified, removed or added.
[warn] The sbt plugin should adapt its own scalacOptions for Scala 3
[info]
[info] X : The following scalacOption is specific to Scala 2 and doesn't have an equivalent in Scala 3
[info] Renamed : The following scalacOption has been renamed in Scala3
[info] Valid : The following scalacOption is a valid Scala 3 option
[info]
[info] -Wunused -> X
[info] -Yrangepos -> X
[info] -explaintypes -> -explain-types
[info]
[info] The following scalacOption are specific to compiler plugins, usually added through `compilerPlugin` or `addCompilerPlugin`.
[info] In the previous step `migrate-libs`, you should have removed/fixed compiler plugins and for the remaining plugins and settings, they can be kept as they are.
[info]
[info] -Xplugin:/Users/meriamlachkar/Library/Caches/Coursier/v1/https/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/typelevel/kind-projector_2.13.3/0.11.0/kind-projector_2.13.3-0.11.0.jar -> Valid
[info] -Xplugin:/Users/meriamlachkar/Library/Caches/Coursier/v1/https/repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/olegpy/better-monadic-for_2.13/0.3.1/better-monadic-for_2.13-0.3.1.jar -> Valid
[info] -Xplugin:/Users/meriamlachkar/Library/Caches/Coursier/v1/https/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/scalameta/semanticdb-scalac_2.13.3/4.4.0/semanticdb-scalac_2.13.3-4.4.0.jar -> Valid
[info] -P:semanticdb:synthetics:on -> Valid
[info] -P:semanticdb:targetroot:/Users/meriamlachkar/perso/plugin-test/target/scala-2.13/meta -> Valid
[info] -P:semanticdb:sourceroot:/Users/meriamlachkar/perso/plugin-test -> Valid
[info] -P:semanticdb:failures:warning -> Valid
[success] -> Valid
So following the output, the build will look like:
scalacOptions ++= (if (scalaVersion.value.startsWith("3")) Seq("-explain-types", "-Ykind-projector")
else Seq("-explaintypes", "-Wunused")),
Migrating the code
Fix syntax incompatibilities
First reload the build to take into account the new libs and scalacOptions.
> reload
The command migrate-syntax fix number of incompatibilities by applying the following Scalafix rules:
- ProcedureSyntax
- fix.scala213.ConstructorProcedureSyntax
- fix.scala213.ExplicitNullaryEtaExpansion
- fix.scala213.ParensAroundLambda
- fix.scala213.ExplicitNonNullaryApply
- fix.scala213.Any2StringAdd

[info]
[info]
[info] We fixed the syntax of this main to be compatible with 3.0.0-RC1
[info] You can now commit the change!
[info] You can also execute the next command to try to migrate to 3.0.0-RC1
[info]
[info] migrate main
[info]
After running this command, you can already commit those changes. Your module is still compiling in Scala 2 and is one step further to compile in Scala 3.
Add inferred types and implicits to make the project compile in Scala 3
Scala 3 uses a new type inference algorithm, therefore the Scala 3.0 compiler can infer a different type than the one inferred by the Scala 2.13. This command goal is to find the necessary types to add in order to make you code compiles.

[info] You can now commit the change!
[info] You can also execute the compile command:
[info]
[info] main / compile
What to do next ?
You can start again with another module MODULE2. If MODULE2 depends on the last module migrated, you need either to add -Ytasty-reader to MODULE2 scalacOptions, or reload or set MODULE-MIGRATED/scalaVersion := "2.13.5"
Once you're done, you can remove scala3-migrate from your plugins.
Contributions and feedbacks are welcome
The tool is still under development, and we would love to hear from you. Every feedback will help us build a better tool: typos, clearer log messages, better documentation, bug reports, ideas of features, so please open GitHub issues or contact us on gitter.
