Stuck on an issue?

uPickle unable to parse through this code:

import upickle.default._
type Env = Map[String,V]
object Simple {

  type Var = String

  sealed trait Expr      //will be evaluated into V
  case class ENum(n: Double) extends Expr
  case class EVar(name: String) extends Expr
  case class EOp(op: String, es: Seq[Expr]) extends Expr
  case class EFun(formal: String, body: Expr) extends Expr
  case class EApp(fun: Expr, actual: Expr) extends Expr

  sealed trait V           //cannot be evaluated further
  case class VNum(n: Double) extends V
  case class VClosure(x: String, body: Expr, t: Map[String, V]) extends V

  sealed trait VorE     //a wrapped that excepts either Expr or V
  case class Vo(v: V) extends VorE
  case class Eo(e: Expr) extends VorE

  type Stack = List[K]

  sealed trait K     //Stack items. Exprs and variables are turned into stack items when placed on stack.
  case class KArg(e: Expr) extends K
  case class KClosure(formal: String, body: Expr, t: Map[String,V]) extends K
  case class KOp(op: String, env: Map[String,V], vals: List[V], exprs: Seq[Expr]) extends K

              // These lines compile
// def writeState(state: (List[K], Env, VorE)): String = write(state)
//   def readState(str: String): (List[K], Env, VorE) = read[(List[K], Env, VorE)](str)

           // These lines do not compile
//   def writeKClos(trial: KClosure) : String = write(trial)
//   def readKClos(str: String): KClosure = read[KClosure](str)

          // These lines do not compile.
  def write3Tuple(n: (String, Expr, Map[String, V])): String = write[(String, Expr, Map[String, V])](n)
  def read3Tuple(str: String): (String, Expr, Map[String, V]) = read[(String, Expr, Map[String, V])](str)
}

With exactly this code, I get this error message:

[info] Compiling 2 Scala sources… [error] Line 37: ambiguous implicit values: [error] both value derive$macro$249 of type => upickle.default.Writer[(String, Simple.Expr, Map[String,Simple.V])] [error] and value derive$macro$266 of type => upickle.default.Writer[Simple.EOp] [error] match expected type upickle.default.Writer[T1] [error] Error occurred in an application involving default arguments.

With the def writeKClos and def readKClos uncommented and the last two lines commented, I get:

compile [info] Compiling 2 Scala sources… [error]Line 34: diverging implicit expansion for type upickle.default.Writer[T1] [error] starting with macro method macroW in trait LowPriX [error] Error occurred in an application involving default arguments.

When def writeState and def readState are not commented and all following lines are commented, the code compiles fine.

I am not sure what diverging implicit expansion means in terms of how my project is laid out. However, everything that is included in the file should compile file. It does not, and I have no idea why.

Notes: This is all done with sbt on a Mac. Nothing in the project is imported, and no other file uses this file. This is not quite what I was using in the project, but this is the simplest example where the behavior shows.
