Workaround.

Users aren't expected to use MkFocus directly. Do you have the same issue with Focus?

Focus[Foo.Baz, String](_.id)

It is really weird that a useless opaque type break the macro. Was it also the case in previous version of Scala 3?

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Right, sorry :) if you check the edit history the initial report was in terms of GenLens. Switching to MkFocus was intended as minimization.

I think so, but I will doube-check. Edit: I can reproduce with Scala 3.1.0.

FWIW this is likely a compiler bug.

I think this is possibly intended behaviour by the compiler but weird as heck.

Here's the error message which we get in 3.3:

[error] 10 |    implicit val bazId: monocle.Lens[Foo.Baz, String] = monocle.Focus[Foo.Baz](_.id)
[error]    |                                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[error]    |               Found:    monocle.PIso[? <: Foo.type{type Bar = Qux}#Baz,
[error]    |                 ? <: Foo.type{type Bar = Qux}#Baz, String, String]
[error]    |               Required: monocle.Lens[Foo.Baz, String]

It looks as though we capture the opaque type within the Foo type (widen and dealias don't do anything btw) and since PIso doesn't have variance, we get issues with the explicit type ascription. I think that Foo{ ... }#Baz is a subtype of Foo.Baz but I'm not entirely sure about subtyping rules in this case honestly and need to double check.

The real fix is to add variance properly if it works imo, but I think we ran into issues with that previously with inference problems in scala 2. @julien-truffaut will remember better than me.

We could probably strip the captured opaque type for now.
