ParVector map is not running in parallel

Question

I have a bit of code like:

val data = List(obj1, obj2, obj3, obj4, ...).par.map { ... }

and the ParVector is roughly 12 elements large. I noticed that all of my work is being done in the main thread so I traced down the stacktrace and found that in the following line (in the link below), ifParallel is false (from CanBuildFrom). Any hints as to why it's false, and what I can do to help it?

Answer 1

There was an error in the version of scala I was using. It has since been fixed.
