sbt [error] No valid parser available - scala

I am running:
java -version
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)
sbt 0.13.13.
on Windows 10.
When I follow the tutorial to do a println("hello"), I get the error:
[error] No valid parser available.
Do you guys have any idea why that might be and how to resolve?
Thank you very much in advance!

You entered into the sbt shell, which is used to give commands for a project build.
It sounds like you want a Scala console. You can start it by:
sbt console

Template not found for: -Dsbt.version 0.13.13 lagom/lagom-scala.g8

Good afternoon,
I am trying to follow this hello world tutorial of lagom, however when running the command:
sbt new -Dsbt.version=0.13.13 lagom/lagom-scala.g8
I get the following error:
Template not found for: -Dsbt.version 0.13.13 lagom/lagom-scala.g8
As stated in the setup part of the tutorial I have checked my java version:
java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)
My javac version:
javac 1.8.0_131
And my sbt version:
[info] 0.13.15
I have trying running the command with my sbt version as the parameter:
sbt new -Dsbt.version=0.13.13 lagom/lagom-scala.g8
But it still throws the no template error, could you please point out what am I doing wrong?
Which comply with the prerequisites for the tutorial
Turns out I had to remove the -Dsbt.version=0.13.13 parameter of the commmand.
Running it as:
sbt new lagom/lagom-scala.g8
Removes the error and it works correctly.
The problem was not the extra flag. The documentation is correct.
You have to use it before the new command
sbt -Dsbt.version=0.13.13 new lagom/lagom-scala.g8

SCALA REPL throwing error at launch

I get the following error when I try to run the SCALA REPL. Note that I have already looked into this post where it talks about downgrading java version.

Sorry, dude, that's my fault.
A few years ago, someone said you should only be able to use a regex to extract from strings (char sequences).
That was such a reasonable request. "Tell me if I try to match a regex to something that isn't even a string!"
Unfortunately, because JVM and maven and ivy, you never know what backwards compatibility issues you'll discover.
As you have discovered.
Scala requires that you build and run with the same "major" version.
Here is a similar issue where "user experience" diverges:

Additional apologies if you don't prefer the gendered "dude", if it is gendered.

Missing dependencies in Apache Crunch Scala build

I'm trying to build the Apache Crunch source code on my CentOS 7 machine, but am getting the following error in the crunch-spark project when I execute mvn package:
[ERROR] /home/bwatson/programming/git/crunch/crunch-spark/src/it/scala/org/apache/crunch/scrunch/spark/PageRankClassTest.scala:71: error: bad symbolic reference. A signature in PTypeH.class refers to term protobuf

Other SO questions about similar errors (here and here) seem to involve PATH or version issues. I've been messing around but can't seem to resolve them. For completeness:

Any advice? I'm not really sure where Scala is looking for its dependencies, but I'd have thought that Maven would take care of it.
Unfortunately Different versions of Scala are binary incompatible. Currently by default Apache Spark uses Scala 2.10.4, not Scala 2.11. Apache Scrunch is dependent on Spark. Maven does not know anything about this so it can't help. It is necessary to make some modifications to Scrunch to get it to compile for Scala 2.11 / JDK 1.8. I am working on this at the moment, but I don't have a solution yet. However I get the error message you report if I compile Scala 2.10.4 with JDK 1.8, not Scala 2.11, so I don't think it is doing quite what you intend. The error seems be coming from the Protobuf compiler or jar but I don't know why that is.
When I solve it myself, I will report back!
It turns out the official documentation for Crunch was missing a Maven parameter. The issue was solved by building using:
mvn package -Dcrunch.platform=2

Using guava in griffon gives Prohibited package exception

I am using Griffon and want to add the guava libraries as a dependency in my project. However, when I do this, even without using 1 class of it, I get the following exception:
Compilation error: BUG! exception in phase 'canonicalization' in source unit
'/home/wdb/myproject/griffon-app/controllers/MyController.groovy' Prohibited
package name: java.util.concurrent
Any idea what might be wrong? This is my java version (on Ubuntu 11.10):
wdb#wdb-laptop:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_27"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_27-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.2-b06, mixed mode)
I found this link that talks about using the bootclasspath for a similar problem, but that seems a bit drastic.
regards,
Wim
My wild guess is that our bootclasspath copy of java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService (necessary due to an incompatible change between JDK5 and JDK6) is showing up in your classpath. I don't really know Maven, but I would think that, because we identify the dependency as "provided", this shouldn't be happening.
That's not really an answer, but I hope it's enough to get you or someone else started.
It must be that Griffon does not honor 'provided' scope. I managed to get it working by editing BuilderConfig.groovy to:
compile( 'com.google.guava:guava:10.0.1' ) {
exclude 'guava-bootstrap'
}

Setting up sbt to use Java 7 for compilation?

I'm getting compile errors when running the compile task as the sources reference new classes in java.nio.file package that only appeared in Java 7.
I have the following in build.sbt:
javaHome := Some(file("/opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0"))
fork := true
In sbt:
> show java-home
[info] Some(/opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0)
It compiles and runs fine in Eclipse. How can I set up sbt to use Java 7 for compilation?
The most reliable (perhaps only) way to do this at the moment it to start SBT with java in the JDK7 folder.
Modify your sbt launcher script; or use this one that allows you to specify Java Home (and so much more!) as command line options.
~/code/scratch/20111009 sbt -java-home /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.7-x86_64/Contents/Home

Welcome to Scala version 2.9.1.final (OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.7.0-internal).

scala> java.util.Objects.equals(null, null)
res0: Boolean = true
Simply setting javaHome := Some(file("/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.7-x86_64/Contents/Home")) changes the Java version used to compile and fork processes, but does not change the version of the Java standard library on the classpath, nor the version used to run tests, which are always run the the same JVM as SBT.
If you use Linux or Mac, another possibility is to look at jenv, a command line Java manager.
It allows you to choose per project which JDK to use.
I use virtualenv, which is a tool from the Python ecosystem. In a nutshell, it is a shell script which allows you to change your PATH variable easily and get back to what it was before, if you need to.
First install virtualenvwrapper (a wrapper around virtualenv):
$ apt-get install virtualenvwrapper
Now create a virtual environment for, say, Java8 with Scala-2.11.
$ mkvirtualenv j8s11
Now, adjust ~/.virtualenvs/j8s11/bin/postactivate so that you define locations for all your tools. You can see an example below which works for me:
#!/bin/bash
JAVA_VERSION=1.8.0_31
SCALA_VERSION=2.11.5
SBT_VERSION=0.13.7
ANT_VERSION=1.9.4
M2_VERSION=3.2.5
GRADLE_VERSION=1.6
PLAY_VERSION=2.3.7
ACTIVATOR_VERSION=1.2.12
IDEA_VERSION=IC-135.475
PYCHARM_VERSION=community-3.4.1
TOOLS_HOME=/opt/developer
export JAVA_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/jdk${JAVA_VERSION}
export SCALA_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/scala-${SCALA_VERSION}
export SBT_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/sbt-${SBT_VERSION}
export ANT_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/apache-ant-${ANT_VERSION}
export M2_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/apache-maven-${M2_VERSION}
export GRADLE_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/gradle-${GRADLE_VERSION}
export PLAY_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/play-${PLAY_VERSION}
export ACTIVATOR_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/activator-${ACTIVATOR_VERSION}
export IDEA_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/idea-${IDEA_VERSION}
export PYCHARM_HOME=${TOOLS_HOME}/pycharm-${PYCHARM_VERSION}
PATH=${PYCHARM_HOME}/bin:$PATH
PATH=${IDEA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
PATH=${ACTIVATOR_HOME}:$PATH
PATH=${PLAY_HOME}:$PATH
PATH=${GRADLE_HOME}/bin:$PATH
PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:$PATH
PATH=${ANT_HOME}/bin:$PATH
PATH=${SBT_HOME}/bin:$PATH
PATH=${SCALA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
export PATH
Now you can just use workon to switch between environments. Example:
rgomes#terra:~$ workon j8s11
(j8s11)rgomes#terra:~$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)
(j8s11)rgomes#terra:~$ scala -version
Scala code runner version 2.11.5 -- Copyright 2002-2013, LAMP/EPFL
(j8s11)rgomes#terra:~$ workon j7s10
(j7s10)rgomes#terra:~$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_71"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode)
(j7s10)rgomes#terra:~$ scala -version
Scala code runner version 2.10.4 -- Copyright 2002-2013, LAMP/EPFL
I'm assuming you want to change whatever you have set in JAVA_HOME by default, which you can do when invoking sbt:
JAVA_HOME=<path-to-jdk-home> sbt
This works for me on OSX with sbt 0.13.8
change javacOption to 1.7? I don't think setting the javaHome is necessary.
