Why does last line of following piece of code throw error in scala REPL?
import scala.concurrent._
import scala.concurrent.duration._
import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
// This is okay
val futureInt = Future[Int] { 42 }
val v1 = Await.result(futureInt, 1.second)
// This throw error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class $line8.$read$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$
val v2 = Await.result(Future[Int]{ 42 }, 1.second)
But when I create a main class and execute the same code it works fine:
import scala.concurrent._
import scala.concurrent.duration._
import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
object Main {
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
val futureInt = Future[Int] { 42 }
val v1 = Await.result(futureInt, 1.second)
val v2 = Await.result(Future[Int] { 44 }, 1.second)
println(s"v1=$v1, v2=$v2 ")
}
}
Output:
v1=42, v2=44
