Override default compile task in sbt

In SBT, compile task does the compilation of the project code and test:compile does compilation of the project's tests. I want a single compile task which does both. I want to override the default compile task and dont want a task with a new name (because want to enforce compilation success of all tests with every code change to project's main code). Am using Build.scala (not build.sbt) and tried the method described in this SO answer. My trial is pasted below and does not work because the return type of the compile task is TaskKey[Analysis]. How should I change this?

val compileInTest = TaskKey[Analysis]("compile the tests")

compileInTest := {
  (compile in Compile in <module-name>).value
  (compile in Test in <module-name>).value
}

lazy val projectA = Project(
  "a",
  file("a"),
  settings = hwsettings ++ Seq(
    compile := compileInTest
))

You can define alias in .sbtrc file:

alias compile=test:compile

which will do both tasks.
