Expected behaviour
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

scala-cli works.

Additional Info

scarf@fedora ~/r/aoc-scala (main) [1]> scala-cli clean --help
Usage: scala-cli clean [options]
Clean the workspace.

You are currently viewing the basic help for the clean sub-command. You can view the full help by running: 
   scala-cli clean --help-full
For detailed documentation refer to our website: https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/docs/commands/clean

Launcher options:
  --power  Allows to use restricted & experimental features
scarf@fedora ~/r/aoc-scala (main)> scala-cli clean 
scala.build.errors.InputsException: No inputs provided (expected files with .scala, .sc, .java or .md extensions, and / or directories).
scarf@fedora ~/r/aoc-sc

at first i thought it was due to corrupt cache, and tried clean but it fails with mysterious errors (usage does not state it requires input files)

i searched for similar issues like #2117 and #2241, but they seems to be unrelated in terms of used scripts.

It does require input files. We can tweak the help message, I suppose.

scala-cli suddenly fails to run simple (or any) scripts.

Any hints on what could have caused it?
There's not much context to go on.
I can't seem to reproduce this, even on a linux machine.

[Gedochao]

Also, does passing the --server=false option help?

There's not much context to go on.

It happened after I opened the project on vscode+metals. I'd love to provide more context but unsure which file to provide; maybe $HOME/.cache/scala-cli? erasing dotfiles like .bsp and .bloop didn't help

Also, does passing the --server=false option help?

will try after I get home.

[Gedochao]

Running with -v -v -v might also provide us with some hint in the logs.

If --server=false helps, it'd mean Bloop (the build server) is the culprit... in which case it may also make sense to restart it with:

scala-cli --power bloop exit

[scarf005]

• I was able to make it work with --server=false flag.
• Running scala-cli --power bloop exit stopped the issue from happening again.

thanks for the help.
here's the output of scala-cli run -v -v -v hello.scala for reference: output.log

Sounds like a race condition in bloop. I see stuff like that pretty often given my workflow is based on using both metals and scala-cli simultaneously (e.g., I finish writing code in vscode, run scala-cli compile in terminal).
