After updating Scala from 2.13.13 to 2.13.14 I got compilation error: "possible missing interpolator: detected an interpolated expression".

Doesn't work:

val world = "World"
assert(s"Hello, $world!".contains("Hell"))

Works:

val world = "World"
val assertion = s"Hello, $world!".contains("Hell")
assert(assertion)

Curious what happened here — what Scala change was responsible. cc lrytz som-snytt

Probably the same as etorreborre/specs2#1237
or explanation on the forum
https://users.scala-lang.org/t/regression-with-macro-and-interpolation-linting/9986/2?u=som-snytt

where -Wmacros:after (or -Wmacros:both) enables linting (for this particular lint) the tree after expansion.

Note that the new default -Wmacros:default was improved to make it less likely that -Wmacros:after is intended.

(-Wmacros:none turns off linting of trees that are transformed by macros, either before or after expansion.)

SethTisue It ought to be mentioned in the release notes. It affects only those warning expanded trees, but that may not be a niche of the community.

I submitted a provisional PR with expecty, which I assume is used here. That would pass the lint irrespective of other settings.
