Given simplified code example:
sealed trait A {
val c1: String
val c2: Int
def copy[Z <: A](src: File) : Z
}
case class B(c1: String, c2: Int, src: File) extends A
case class C(c1: String, c2: Int, c3: MyClass, src: File) extends A
how do I define copy method in trait A so it will match generated one for case class and 'target' file? Given definition does typecheck and complains about missing method copy in classes B and C.
scala compiler will not generate copy methods for case class that defines method with name copy.
scala -Xprint:typer -e "sealed trait A { def copy[T <: A](s: String):T }; case class B(x: Int, y:Int) extends A"
outputs:
/var/folders/fm/fm4b21vj6jl995ywlrd99t49tjthjc/T/scalacmd3413244935208502669.scala:1: error: class B needs to be abstract, since method copy in trait A of type [T <: this.A](s: String)T is not defined
