Does pants have a repl for Scala? I found some documentation, but it looks like a v1-only feature.

Yep!

pants repl

can run the scala repl.

Aha, looks like I need to pass

--shell=scala.

I assumed it would default to scala when called with a scala file (e.g.

pants repl foo/Bar.scala

)

Hmm, I believe it should autodetect the repl to use

sure, i'll re-try with a simpler project first.

https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/14133 already covers the fact that the repl defaults to Python

Thanks, perhaps it should be added to the docs. There's no mention of a scala repl at all at the moment. I'll open a PR.
