Mixed compilation with `.java` sources causes cyclic inheritance error

[WojciechMazur]

Compiler version

All Scala versions (both Scala 3 and Scala 2)

Minimized code

Important: Compiles correctly when build server is not used (scala --server=false), otherwise compilation of java source yields cyclic inheritance error

// ReporterDefs.scala
class ConsoleReporter extends ConsoleReporter.AbstractConsoleReporter
object ConsoleReporter{
  abstract class AbstractConsoleReporter 
}

abstract class AbstractReporter

// Reporters.java
class Reporters {
  abstract class Works extends AbstractReporter{};
  abstract class Fails1 extends ConsoleReporter{};
  abstract class Fails2 extends ConsoleReporter.AbstractConsoleReporter{};
}

Output

[error] cyclic inheritance involving ConsoleReporter
[error]   abstract class Fails1 extends ConsoleReporter{};
[error]                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Expectation

Should compile also when build server is used

@tgodzik any clue?
This looks like some quirk of Bloop, but it'd be weird if we didn't have it reported before 🤔

I suppose we have to consider this a regression, since scala_legacy (the old runner) doesn't rely on the build server.

Is this reproducible with straight scala-cli?

Yep. Tested on scala-cli 1.5.0 and 1.5.0-17-g00e4c88c1-SNAPSHOT.

Interesting... I just tested with SBT and I'm getting the same error.

Apparently the same also happens with Bazel... (cc @WojciechMazur)

I'm no longer convinced this is to be treated as a regression, we seem to have had this bug for a while... 😕

From what I see server=false doesn't compile Java files:

.scala-build

Edit: I have some additional files here, but there are not compiled java files
