Object Proto already defined

Question

I'm using Scala 2.11.8 and trying to add protobuf.

Here is my log :

[info] Protoc target directory: /home/user/Git/tortle/target/src_managed/main

[info] Protoc target directory: /home/user/Git/tortle/target/src_managed/main

[...]

[error] /home/user/Git/tortle/target/src_managed/main/msgsp/IngInfo/IngInfo.scala:46: IngInfo is already defined as case class IngInfo

[error] final case class IngInfo(

[error] 60 errors found

please, what am I making wrong ?

I have tried a lot of things but this error always come back :/ Thanks.

My build.sbt :

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.trueaccord.scalapb"     %% "scalapb-runtime"     % "0.6.6",
"com.trueaccord.scalapb"     %% "scalapb-runtime"     % "0.6.6" % "protobuf")
PB.targets in Compile := Seq(
PB.gens.java -> (sourceManaged in Compile).value,
scalapb.gen(javaConversions = true) -> (sourceManaged in Compile).value)

My plugins.sbt

addSbtPlugin("com.thesamet" % "sbt-protoc" % "0.99.18")
libraryDependencies += "com.thesamet.scalapb" %% "compilerplugin" % "0.7.1"

My *.proto files are in src/main/protobuf folder and start like this :

syntax = "proto3";
package msgsp;
message Tortle{}

Can you find where IngInfo is defined in the generated code? Can you edit the protobuf file and remove pieces and see if the error moves or goes away? — Bob Dalgleish
Two files are generated in target folder: target/src_managed/main/msgsp/IngInfo/IngInfo.scala target/src_managed/main/msgsp/IngInfo/IngInfoProto.scala The error is again her :/ — Laurie Ma

First, your library dependencies point at version 0.6.6 and your compilerplugin is at 0.7.1. Please update your libraryDependencies to:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "com.thesamet.scalapb"     %% "scalapb-runtime"     % "0.7.1" % "protobuf")
)

There is no need to include scalapb-runtime without the % "protobuf" at the end, since that gets added automatically for you by sbt-protoc.

If that doesn't resolve your issue, try to see if you actually have "IngInfo" defined more than once in your Scala files. Is it possible your project already have a class in the same name in your project? Sometimes this happens when you change the directory you are generating files to so old copies are still around.
