Summary

  • Fix context bound patterns throughout the routing DSL to work with Scala 3.8's context parameter changes: replace explicit passing of Tuple.yes, ev, OutIsTuple, ClassTag with implicit vals in scope
  • Replace private[this] with private (~37 files) and = _ with explicit defaults (~47 files)
  • Update build config: move -Ywarn-dead-code/-Xlint to Scala 2-only, add -Wconf suppressions for Scala 3, make -language:_ conditional, replace -Xfatal-warnings with -Werror

Details

Context bound fixes

  • Directive.scala: ConjunctionMagnet, or, validatedMap, tmap, tcollect, Directive0Support
  • PathMatcher.scala: provide, apply, Matched case class construction
  • PathDirectives.scala: rawPathPrefix, pathSuffix (tprovide with explicit type param)
  • FutureDirectives.scala: OnSuccessMagnet (Tuple import fix for scala.Tuple shadowing)
  • HttpMessage.scala: getHeaders ClassTag
  • RejectionHandler.scala (javadsl): ClassTag with server.Rejection type annotation
  • PoolInterface.scala, StageLoggingWithOverride.scala: LogSource context bounds
  • TestRouteResult.scala, RouteTest.scala: ClassTag context bounds

Test code fixes

  • HttpHeaderParserSpec.scala: refutable pattern in val → asInstanceOf
  • EntityStreamingSpec.scala: context parameter passing via implicit vals

Build config fixes

  • project/Common.scala: Scala 2/3 conditional scalacOptions, -Wconf suppressions
  • build.sbt: conditional -language:_, -Werror in docs
  • DontLeakActorsOnFailingConnectionSpecs.scala, MultiNodeConfig.scala: Logging fixes

Verified: all modules compile cleanly on Scala 3.8.4 (zero errors) while maintaining full compatibility with Scala 2.13.18 and 3.3.8.

Test plan

  • sbt "++ 3.8.4; Test/compile" passes with zero errors
  • sbt "++ 3.3.8; http/compile" passes with zero errors
  • No changes to Scala version in Dependencies.scala (only forward-compat source changes)

Motivation:
Scala 3.8 introduces breaking changes for context parameter passing,
private[this] deprecation, = _ deprecation, and various syntax updates.
These changes ensure the codebase compiles cleanly on Scala 3.8+ while
maintaining compatibility with Scala 2.13.x and 3.3.x.

Modification:
- Fix context bound patterns: replace explicit passing (Tuple.yes, ev,
  OutIsTuple, ClassTag) with implicit vals in scope for Scala 3.8 compat
- Replace private[this] with private across ~37 files
- Replace = _ with explicit defaults (= null, = 0L) across ~47 files
- Add -Wconf suppressions for Scala 3-specific syntax warnings
- Move -Ywarn-dead-code and -Xlint to Scala 2-only config blocks
- Make -language:_ conditional for Scala 2 only
- Fix Logging context bounds (PoolInterface, StageLoggingWithOverride)
- Fix ClassTag context bounds (HttpMessage.getHeaders, RejectionHandler)
- Fix Tuple import conflict in FutureDirectives (scala.Tuple shadowing)
- Fix PathMatcher provide/apply with explicit implicit params
- Fix PathDirectives tprovide with explicit type parameter
- Fix refutable pattern in val (HttpHeaderParserSpec)
- Replace -Xfatal-warnings with -Werror in docs module
- Fix test code context parameter passing (EntityStreamingSpec)

Result:
All modules compile cleanly on Scala 3.8.4 with zero errors while
maintaining full compatibility with Scala 2.13.x and 3.3.x.
Motivation:
The PR apache#1067 changes to PathMatcher.scala introduced `implicit val tupleEv`
and `implicit val tupleL` declarations that shadow the `ev` member of the
PathMatcher class inside anonymous class bodies, causing "ambiguous implicit
values" compilation errors on Scala 2.13.

Modification:
Remove the redundant implicit val declarations and pass the Tuple evidence
explicitly to the PathMatcher constructor instead. For `repeat` and `optional`,
pass `lift.OutIsTuple` directly. For `provide` and `apply`, pass `ev` directly
and also pass it explicitly to `Matched` calls.

Result:
PathMatcher.scala compiles without ambiguous implicit errors on Scala 2.13
while maintaining Scala 3 forward compatibility.

Tests:
Not run - compilation fix

scala 2.13 compile is broken

Would be good to create separate PRs for the separate kinds of issues to make it easier to review / verify

Motivation:
Scala 2.13 reports ambiguous implicit values when `provide` and `apply`
explicitly pass `(ev)` to both the PathMatcher constructor and Matched
case class, creating two `ev: Tuple[L]` candidates in scope (method
parameter and constructor val).

Modification:
Remove explicit `(ev)` from constructor calls and Matched invocations
in `provide` and `apply`, letting implicit resolution pick up `ev` from
the method's implicit parameter — matching the behavior of the original
`[L: Tuple]` context bound pattern.

Result:
PathMatcher compiles cleanly on both Scala 2.13.18 and 3.3.8 with no
ambiguous implicit errors.

Tests:
- sbt "++ 2.13.18; http/compile" passes
- sbt "++ 3.3.8; http/compile" passes
- sbt "++ 2.13.18; http-tests/Test/testOnly ...PathDirectivesSpec" 222 passed
- sbt "++ 2.13.18; http-tests/Test/testOnly ...EntityStreamingSpec" 11 passed

Superseded by two split PRs: #1068 (private[this] + =_ deprecation fixes) and #1069 (context bounds + build config).
