#21146 Nailgun may break hermeticity for scala compilations Issue created by jgranstrom Describe the bug When compiling scala2 code with macros, the output binary may not be consistently produced when built with nailgun enabled. Repro: https://github.com/jgranstrom/pants-macro-h-repro With nailgun disabled it compiles consistently. The cause is macro-references having unstable order in the compiled binary, why nailgun is causing that I don't know. This can be verified by diffing the jars produced. I'm not sure if there's any good alternatives, but maybe it's worth considering if nailgun is worth keeping in either way. My workaround is to disable nailgun in CI.
