Description

For the code `val symbol = 'symbol`, it's a compile warning in Scala 2.13, but it's a compile error in Scala 3.

• Scala 2.13 

 

Welcome to Scala 2.13.12 (OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM, Java 17.0.8).
Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.
scala> val symbol = 'symbol
                    ^
       warning: symbol literal is deprecated; use Symbol("symbol") instead [quickfixable]
val symbol: Symbol = Symbol(symbol) 

 

 

• Scala 3

 

Welcome to Scala 3.3.1 (17.0.8, Java OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM).
Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
scala> val symbol = 'symbol
-- Error: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 |val symbol = 'symbol
  |             ^
  |symbol literal 'symbol is no longer supported,
  |use a string literal "symbol" or an application Symbol("symbol") instead,
  |or enclose in braces '{symbol} if you want a quoted expression.
  |For now, you can also `import language.deprecated.symbolLiterals` to accept
  |the idiom, but this possibility might no longer be available in the future.
