Running Scala 2.13 - IntelliSense is not available

You should define an object named Solution that extends App, like so:

object Solution extends App {
  for (i <- 0 until 5) println("Hello, world!")
}
Code language: Scala (scala)

Alternatively, you can forego using the App trait helper and define main yourself:

object Solution {
  def main(args: Array[String]) = {
    println("Hello, world!")
  }
}
Code language: Scala (scala)

We include the Scala testing libraries ScalaCheck and ScalaTest for your convenience. Here’s a quick example of using ScalaTest driven by ScalaCheck generators:

import org.scalatest.freespec.AnyFreeSpec

class SetSpec extends AnyFreeSpec {

  "A Set" - {
    "when empty" - {
      "should have size 0" in {
        assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
      }

      "should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked" in {
        assertThrows[NoSuchElementException] {
          Set.empty.head
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

object Solution extends App {
  new SetSpec().execute()
}
Code language: Scala (scala)

Here’s a quick rundown of the Scala libraries we have installed:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq (
  "com.chuusai"     %% "shapeless"                    % "2.3.7",
  "org.scalacheck"  %% "scalacheck"                   % "1.15.4",
  "org.scalactic"   %% "scalactic"                    % "3.2.10",
  "org.scalamock"   %% "scalamock"                    % "5.1.0",
  "org.scalatest"   %% "scalatest"                    % "3.2.10",
  "org.scalaz"      %% "scalaz-core"                  % "7.3.5",
  "org.typelevel"   %% "cats-core"                    % "2.6.1"
)
Code language: Scala (scala)

Additionally, these Java libraries are available. Simply import and fire away:

• json-simple for parsing/encoding JSON.The google code project page has some useful examples.
• guava provides immutable collections and other handy utility classes.
• junit, the gold standard for testing in Java, but quite usable in Scala as well.import org.junit.Test

import org.junit.Test
import org.junit.runner.JUnitCore
import org.junit.Assert

class TestClass {
  @Test def testNoop() = {
    Assert.assertTrue(true)
  }
}

object Solution {
  def main(args: Array[String]) = {
    JUnitCore.main("TestClass")
  }
}
Code language: Scala (scala)

• jMock, a library to assist with mocking in Java. The homepage has some useful examples, and can be adapted for Scala, too.
