Sbt Project dependencies - scala

I am quite new to Scala and sbt. What is the command to be used in the command line to refresh the dependencies as per the updated build.sbt ?
I already tried building my project in Intellij but it doesn't help. On a side note, what is the sbt alternative command for mvn build ?

To say to sbt to reload your changes, use reload command. You can read more about sbt commands for SBT#0.13, for SBR#1.x

compile/package multiple configurations from command line sbt scala

is there a way to build/compile all configurations at once? I have a project that has a Dev configuration in addition to the default Compile and Test configuration, and i am looking for a command or a setting in my build.sbt that would allow me to compile/package all 3 configurations at once.
Basically looking for a way to avoid having to do these 3 commands to build the entire source tree:
sbt compile
sbt dev:compile
sbt test:compile
When I use sbt from IntelliJ it is able to do this on building the project, but I am looking to do this from the command line.
First, you can run multiple tasks with a single sbt invocation:
sbt compile dev:compile test:compile
Second, you could define an alias in your build which does what you want:
addCommandAlias("compileAll", "; compile; dev:compile; test:compile")
Then, just run sbt compileAll.

Why does sbt report "Error: Could not retrieve sbt 0.13.11"?

In a Scala project I updated the build.properties from 0.13.8 to 0.13.11. That "broke" sbt as it does not start anymore, i.e. it cannot download the 0.13.11 jars?! sbt prints a list of tried repo's, but the repo.typesafe.com was not one of them.
My local installed sbt is 0.13.8.
For some reason the scala-sbt jars are not available anymore in Typesafe's Bintray. Largest version there is 0.13.9.
I know the place to get it is https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/, but how do I tell sbt to use this repo?
I have already tried:
adding a resolver to plugins.sbt
adding a resolver to build.sbt
adding the repo to .sbt/repositories
but I cannot get it working.
How to tell sbt where to get binaries?
Make sure that you're using sbt (launcher) that's at the same version of higher than the version used in your project.
Execute sbt about in an empty directory and find [info] This is sbt X.Y.X.
Make sure that you don't use ~/.sbt/repositories file that sets up the repositories used to resolve artifacts.
try to set your https proxy Information into http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort. This solved it for me.

Intellij 13.1.3 import project from sbt not working

I have followed the instructions , attempting to either import from build.sbt or open project from build.sbt.
The end result is that the scala libraries are not imported as shown in the screenshot.
I have also tried sbt gen-idea from the command line.
This is just a problem that keeps surfacing..
If you are using Intellij, why don't you create scala sbt project? Then just add the libraries in the build.sbt and refresh the project or re-run the sbt gen-idea. The libraries will appear. See this link:
http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IntelliJIDEA/Getting+Started+with+SBT
I STILL have not figured out what the "magic" sequence of actions to follow in order to have a reliable sbt build.
This time around the following worked:
TWICE running
sbt gen-idea
and then import'ing the build.sbt as a new scala project
What did not work
Import project from build.sbt (without sbt gen-idea)
Open project from build.sbt (ditto)
Open build.sbt from Explorer (selecting IJ to open it)

Intellij unable to resolve references to a specific jar file

In a given project that is driven by sbt there is some kind of corruption in the project libraries specifically for a MavenLocal repository used for kafka-spark-9.7.2.jar in which:
references to the classes provided by that jar are marked as "symbol not found" by the editor parser
however the editor (strangely) does offer to import the classes
but after accepting the import, the symbols are still marked in red as unresolved.
The following attempts to "clean things up" have already been performed:
Build | Make Project
Build | Rebuild Project
In addition I have verified that the project does build from
sbt package
on the command line
UPDATE After re-running sbt gen-idea the librraries are still not found by the Parser. yet the libraries exist -even IJ knows about them as shown in the following screenshot. Why is it that IJ can find the library
C:\Users\S80035683\.ivy2\cache\org.apache.kafka\kafka\jars\kafka-0.7.2-spark.jar!\kafka\api\FetchRequest.class
However IJ is unable to resolve any classes from that library in the Parser?
You have to build the project for Intellij, try to do this in your project root:
sbt idea with-sources=yes
This should build the project structure from scratch and add the right dependencies, usually I refresh the project after adding a dependency or a jar.
Edit:
To use the command you need this plugin, otherwise you can use gen-idea but I used it only a few times and I'm not sure how it will work out.
Edit2:
There was some confusion, first, for the IDEA SBT console you don't need to prepend the sbt command since you already are inside sbt:
If you have the sbt plugin for idea you can use gen-idea with-source=yes (without prepending sbt)
From the terminal, either you go to your project root and type sbt to enter the sbt console and use gen-idea or idea with-sources=yes (without prepending sbt)
or directly sbt gen-idea or if you have the plugin sbt idea with-sources=yes (prepending sbt)
To reach the sbt console inside idea you need to install the sbt plugin on preferences -> plugin and search for sbt and then View -> Tool Windows -> SBT Console:
To start the console click on the play button, to kill the console on the skull.
I had the same problem. I fixed it by directly writing the CLASSES and SOURCES of the problematic library. This can be found in .idea/libraries/SBT__<problematic library>_jar.xml

Editing Build.scala in Intellij

I want to migrate our build from maven to SBT, so now I work separatedly on Build.scala file. However I don't benefit from any syntax highlighting (that is quite obvious, I don't have SBT in my classpath). What is the correct way to get SBT to my classpath, adding sbt-launch.jar does not seem to help.
IntelliJ 13 has built-in SBT support; if you're running a lower version, then you can have a look at their sbt plugin.
There's also an sbt plugin on github for generating idea project files. I've had success with running the gen-idea task it provides.
Run sbt gen-idea. It will create a "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME - build" project within your main project (for whatever your YOUR_PROJECT_NAME happens to be). Under the project folder of the build project, I was able to write a Build.scala with the following code:
import sbt._
object Build extends Build {
}
The SBT Build trait is recognized just fine. I'm running IntelliJ 13 build #IU-133-696, Scala plugin 0.30.378.
Eventually what I did is finished to write my build.sbt stub, and opened a project with it. Now everything seem to work.
