"Exception occurred while executing macro expansion." · Issue #971 · playframework/play-json · GitHub

2.10.4

None.

I expect to be able to combine a type parameter and a default value in a case class and for Play-Json to be able to automatically derive the appropriate Reads and Writes.

// Version 3 -- Fails with "Exception occurred while executing macro expansion."
case class Data[T](
    data: T,
    descr: String = "Default value"
)

object Data {
  implicit def errorWrites[T](implicit writes:Writes[T]): Writes[Data[T]]     = Json.writes[Data[T]]
  implicit def errorReads[T](implicit reads:Reads[T]): Reads[Data[T]]         = Json.reads[Data[T]]
}

The compiler throws the following error:

bwbecker@beta playjson % scala-cli error.scala
Compiling project (Scala 3.3.1, JVM (17))
[error] ./error.scala:58:81
[error] Exception occurred while executing macro expansion.

...

Place the following in error.scala and then run it with scala-cli error.scala.

It contains three examples; remove/replace comments as appropriate for each one.

Example 1: Works as expected, demonstrating use of a type variable, T, for data.

Example 2: Works as expected, demonstrating the use of a default value for descr.

Example 3: Combines the two above examples, generating a compile-time exception.
