What does classesDir define now?

[davidmlw]

From documents: https://scalacenter.github.io/bloop/docs/configuration-format, classesDir defines the output directory for the compiled binaries. While I saw the current bloop v1.4.0-RC1 does not respect this directory and put the files in .bloop/module/bloop-internal-classes/bloop-cli-RANDOM/.

And the directory .bloop/module/bloop-internal-classes/bloop-cli-RANDOM/ is not only random named, but is also random generated with multiple versions. how to get a stable classesDir ?

Hi @davidmlw, have you had a look at #1197 ? It explains what the classesDir field in the configuration file is used for and for what use case.

And the directory .bloop/module/bloop-internal-classes/bloop-cli-RANDOM/ is not only random named, but is also random generated with multiple versions. how to get a stable classesDir ?

The directory for the CLi is stable, but it can be random if you have several CLI commands running.

I see. My build flow tool emit multiple bloop CLI compile commands, so bloop make different directory. That is why I saw different random directory.

What was the reason you looked into where the classes directories were saved?
