Compile and Test All

[davesmith00000]

Hi,

I'd like to suggest a small usability improvement, I'd really really like:

bloop compile
// Or, less good but still fine, would be:
bloop compile --all

To just compile everything instead of making me tediously look up the names of individual projects via bloop projects.

I tried implementing this to do a PR, but local publishing wasn't working properly and I ran out of time (re-publish made no difference to the output, suspect there's a cache I need to clear somewhere). I was going to add the same behaviour for bloop test too.

There is a specific check to ensure the project names list is non-empty, so perhaps not allowing this behaviour was a conscious choice, but if so, I don't understand it.

Same desired behaviour in sbt and Mill, which I use constantly:

sbt compile
./mill __.compile

Thanks!

I suppose one issue here is that the sbt and Mill equivalents do not compile test projects (which is the desired behaviour while, for example, you're trying to work through a multi-module refactoring. You don't want the obviously failing test compile noise.), and while I'm confident we could do the same here... what would the command be to compile all the tests? I.e. the equivalents of:

sbt test:compile
./mill __.test.compile

Thanks for reporting! Took a stab at it with Cursor + Claude + MCP and it was quite quick to add the feature actually.
