Regression:

Future.failure(new Exception()).failed does not return a successful future containing the failure, in contrast to Future(new Exception()).failed, which does—the latter being the expected behavior.

Welcome to Scala 2.12.0 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_74).
Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.

scala> import scala.concurrent._
import scala.concurrent._

scala> import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global

scala> val f = Future.failed(new Exception("error"))
f: scala.concurrent.Future[Nothing] = Future(Failure(java.lang.Exception: error))

scala> f.failed
res0: scala.concurrent.Future[Throwable] = Future(Failure(java.lang.Exception: error))

scala> val f = Future(throw new Exception("error"))
f: scala.concurrent.Future[Nothing] = Future()

scala> f
res1: scala.concurrent.Future[Nothing] = Future(Failure(java.lang.Exception: error))

scala> f.failed
res2: scala.concurrent.Future[Throwable] = Future(Success(java.lang.Exception: error)){code}

Note how res2 differs from res0, even though they both operate on what look like equivalent failed futures (f and res1)

This is because the offending line (https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/2.12.x/src/library/scala/concurrent/impl/Promise.scala#L387)
casts the future without switching the Failure to a Success.

Thank you so much for finding, diagnosing and reporting this issue.
Apologies for the inconvenience, it was a combination of a bad test case with a non-happy-path value.

I think that was the fastest bug ticket response I've ever had! Looks perfect; hopefully this will make it into 2.12.1.

I believe that it is not as much the mistakes we make, but how we handle them, which defines us.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for the report. I'd be very much surprised if it doesn't make it into 2.12.1.
