Functor misses implicit value for parameter instance (only after sbt clean) - shapeless

Question

I did some experiments with Kittens (https://github.com/milessabin/kittens) and have issues with compiling my code. I receive the following error.
[error] ...danirey\scala\kittens\Kittens.scala:23: could not find implicit value for parameter instance: cats.Functor[danirey.scala.kittens.AdtDefns.Tree]
[error] val funct = Functor[Tree]
[error] ^
[error] one error found
[error] (compile:compileIncremental) Compilation failed
The complete File is as follows
package danirey.scala.kittens
/**
* #author Dani
*/
import cats.Functor
import cats.syntax.AllSyntax
import cats.derived.functor._
import legacy._
import cats.derived.iterable.legacy._
import org.typelevel.discipline.scalatest.Discipline
import shapeless.cachedImplicit
object Kittens extends App {
val ft = new FunctorExperiment()
ft.print()
}
class FunctorExperiment extends AllSyntax {
import AdtDefns._
def print():Unit = {
val funct = Functor[Tree]
val tree: Tree[String] = Node(
Leaf("Reto"),
Node(
Leaf("Sandra"),
Leaf("Mike")
)
)
println(funct.map(tree)(_.length))
}
}
I have use the almost identical code in a ScalaTest which compiles without any issues.
package danirey.scala.kittens
import cats.Functor
import cats.syntax.AllSyntax
import cats.derived.functor._
import legacy._
import cats.derived.iterable.legacy._
import org.scalatest.FunSuite
import org.typelevel.discipline.scalatest.Discipline
import shapeless.cachedImplicit
/**
* #author Dani
*/
class FunctorExperimentTest extends FunSuite with Discipline with AllSyntax {
import AdtDefns._
test("functors experiment") {
val funct = Functor[Tree]
val tree: Tree[String] = Node(
Leaf("Reto"),
Node(
Leaf("Sandra"),
Leaf("Mike")
)
)
println(funct.map(tree)(_.length))
}
}
My build.sbt looks as follows
name := "shapeless-experiments"
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
scalaVersion := "2.11.8"
exportJars := true
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.chuusai" % "shapeless_2.11" % "2.3.0",
"org.typelevel" % "kittens_2.11" % "1.0.0-M2",
"org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.0.0-M7" % "test"
)
scalacOptions ++= Seq(
"-feature",
"-language:higherKinds",
"-language:implicitConversions",
"-unchecked"
)
The most interesting thing is, that it compiles as part of an incremental compile.
If I comment line number 16, 23 and 32, then execute "sbt compile",
then remove the comments again and execute "sbt compile/package" it compiles and I can even execute the program. But as soon as I run "sbt clean", it will not compile anymore.
The AdtDefns Object is basically a copy of https://github.com/milessabin/kittens/blob/master/core/src/test/scala/cats/derived/adtdefns.scala
The relevant part is
object AdtDefns {
sealed trait Tree[T]
final case class Leaf[T](t: T) extends Tree[T]
final case class Node[T](l: Tree[T], r: Tree[T]) extends Tree[T]
}
PS: Would be nice if someone could create a tag for scala-kittens

#DaniRey we use kittens in our projects but only the sequence part. I am not aware of any project that use kittens derivation. What's your user case?
