Problems finding Main class in sub-directories w/SBT assembly - scala

I am attempting to use SBT assembly(0.14.0) to create a fat jar of my Scala project.
My project structure is as follows:
>top
> build.sbt
> api
> src
> main
> scala
> name
> Boot.scala
> other directories
I am trying to set Boot as the main method to be run in the jar.
I have tried using:
baseDirectory in (Compile,run) := file("api")
scalaSource in run := baseDirectory.value / "api"
scalaSource in Compile := baseDirectory(_ / "api")
mainClass in assembly := some("name.Boot")
The jar builds successfully but when running it I receive the error:
Error: Could not find or load main class name.Boot

Going by the snippet you posted, you could try changing
mainClass in assembly := some("name.Boot")
to
mainClass in assembly := Some("name.Boot")
The reason it does not complain is that lower case some refers to something else.

The file path of your mainClass isn't relevant, only the namespace in Scala/Java. Is your main object
package name
object Boot {
def main ...
}
?

Set mainClass for sbt native packager Universal

I have a project that has the following build.sbt:
addCommandAlias("package", "dist")
lazy val actual = (project in file("."))
.enablePlugins(UniversalPlugin, JavaServerAppPackaging)
.settings(
name := "DeployerPod",
mainClass := Some("com.myself.executable.Runner"),
Compile / mainClass := Some("com.myself.executable.Runner"),
Compile / run / mainClass := Some("com.myself.utils.Pipeline"),
Universal / mainClass := Some("com.myself.executable.Runner"),
Universal / compile / mainClass := Some("com.myself.executable.Runner"),
)
We have a CICD which runs a Dockerfile.
There I have sbt run as one of the steps, which will execute com.myself.utils.Pipeline class to run a Scala class and do the pre requisites for the pipeline.
As one of the last sbt based steps, I'm also running sbt package, which eventually runs an sbt dist command. At this point, inside the extracted ZIP's bin folder, I see two BAT files corresponding to the two main classes. Unfortunately I only want the Runner class BAT instead of Pipeline BAT.
For this I tried running sbt package -main com.myself.executable.Runner but that failed saying Not a valid command: -
Is there a way I can specify the mainClass only for this Universal plugin somehow? Because the way I've tried in my build.sbt doesn't seem to work.

sbt-assembly - can not find main class in jar

I have a project where I am trying to create a fat jar using the sbt-assembly plugin. When I attempt to run my main class from the jar using the java -jar command, I get the error message: Error: Could not find or load main class com.gordon.timeshare.apps.TimeShareLauncher.
I only have one main class in my project (I use the extends App syntax to accomplish this), so I do not specify the path to the main class explicitly, although I have tried that and it did not help.
Below are all the settings I have in my build.sbt file.
ThisBuild / version := "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
ThisBuild / organization := "com.gordon.timeshare.apps"
ThisBuild / scalaVersion := "2.13.5"
lazy val app = (project in file("app"))
.settings(
assembly / mainClass := Some("com.gordon.timeshare.apps.TimeShareLauncher"),
assembly / assemblyJarName := "TimeShareLauncher.jar"
)
assemblyMergeStrategy in assembly := {
case PathList("META-INF", xs # _*) => MergeStrategy.discard
case x => MergeStrategy.first
}
I have also tried other strategies like deduplicate, but that would give me an error when trying to make the .jar.
Additionally, when making the .jar, I get a warning:
[warn] Could not create directory C:\Users\dgord\workspace\new-timeshare\timeshare\target\streams\_global\assembly\_global\streams\assembly\88fbe735ce5abc6987fbc59b072404628cdc94b4_a99f2fe2a42747ed9809d4f62f51a9e1b336dde8_da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709\META-INF\versions\9: java.nio.file.FileAlreadyExistsException: C:\Users\dgord\workspace\new-timeshare\timeshare\target\streams\_global\assembly\_global\streams\assembly\88fbe735ce5abc6987fbc59b072404628cdc94b4_a99f2fe2a42747ed9809d4f62f51a9e1b336dde8_da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709\META-INF\versions\9
And in case you want to know what my main class looks like:
package com.gordon.timeshare.apps
object TimeShareLauncher extends App
sbt: 1.4.7 (also tried 1.5.5)
sbt-assembly: 1.1.0
scala 2.13.5
I have also tried this on WSL and had the same result.
The issue is with lazy val app = (project in file("app")). Assuming a single module project with no module named app, sbt-assembly will create a directory named app and attempt to stuff the build in there. However, since the main class is not in the app bundle, the class will not be added to the jar file.
The correct way to do this is:
lazy val app = (project in file(".")), which specifies the current directory as the one to look for the main class. So this was not really an issue with knowing how to use the sbt-assembly plugin, but a more general issue with specifying projects in an sbt build.

SBT-java.lang.RuntimeException: No main class detected

sbt compile gives Success
sbt run gives the error mentioned above.
My Directory Structure is a little bit different from the regular SBT structure:
Directory structure that I need... Build.sbt inside main project
Build.sbt inside SubProject
MainClass.scala
object MainClass extends App {
println("Hello world!")
}
Note: Things I have already tried in Build.sbt of main project:
1. scalaSource in (Compile, run) := baseDirectory.value / "App" / "js"
2. mainClass in (Compile, run) := Some("MainClass")
3. mainClass in (Compile, run) := Some("App/js/src/main/scala/MainClass")
I am not able to figure out the mistake?
It is not possible to declare additional projects in .sbt files that are in subdirectories. All projects have to be declared in .sbt files at the root of build.
This means that your AppJs and AppJvm never get to have any effect, and those projects do not actually exist in your build.
You'll have to declare AppJs, AppJvm, and any other project you need in the top-level build.sbt file.

sbt-assembly include test classes

I follow sbt-assembly : including test classes from a config described in https://github.com/sbt/sbt-assembly that work ok doing assembly
When I load sbt I get
assembly.sbt:5: error: reference to jarName is ambiguous;
it is imported twice in the same scope by
import sbtassembly.AssemblyKeys._
and import _root_.sbtassembly.AssemblyPlugin.autoImport._
jarName in (Test, assembly) := s"${name.value}-test-${version.value}.jar"
^
So, I comment import line and run sbt:assembly but that begin the test but dont generate any -test-.jar.
Any one know how to generate the jar that include the test classes?
Thanks
I had to remove this line (I think it is now autoimported based on https://github.com/sbt/sbt-assembly/blob/546d200477b64e2602beeb65bfa04306122cd9f5/Migration.md)
import sbtassembly.AssemblyKeys._
And I added the rest (i.e. the two lines below) to build.sbt instead of assembly.sbt:
Project.inConfig(Test)(baseAssemblySettings)
jarName in (Test, assembly) := s"${name.value}-test-${version.value}.jar"
After taking those steps, test:assembly does produce a test jar for me however I expected the jar to only include test classes (similar to test:package), but it seems to include non-test classes as well. In other words, if I have src/main/scala/Foo.scala and src/test/scala/FooTest.scala then I thought that the jar produced by test:assembly would only include FooTest.class but it seems to also include Foo.class. Hopefully that's not an issue for you as I'm not yet sure how to workaround that.
EDIT: If you want the jar to only include classes from src/test (like I did), then you can add the following to your build.sbt to filter out everything else that may be on your classpath:
fullClasspath in (Test, assembly) := {
val cp = (fullClasspath in (Test, assembly)).value
cp.filter({x => x.data.getPath.contains("test-classes")})
}
This works for me:
lazy val root = project.settings(
assembly / fullClasspath := (assembly / fullClasspath).value ++ (Test / fullClasspath).value
)

webappResources in package := Seq(baseDirectory.value ....) throws Error parsing expression

I try to configure sbt (version 0.9.0) to use webapp/dist as the webappResource directory when running package task in sbt, and webapp/app as the webappResource directory when running the container:start command, following this description:
How to have different webapp resources for container:start and package tasks in SBT
But it throws the following error:
error: eof expected but 'package' found.
webappResources in package := Seq(baseDirectory.value / "webapp" / "dist")
^
[error] Error parsing expression.
I guess that package is a reserved word also in sbt conf file, any other way to override setting in package task?
The reason for doing this is that I use gulp to manage webclient. Gulp runs the project from app folder, and compiles (minification etc.) the webclient project into dist folder. When I develop, I use the webapp/app folder as declared below:
webappResources in Compile := Seq(baseDirectory.value / "webapp" / "app")
When I create a release, I first build (minification etc.) the webapp client into webapp/dist using gulp. Then I want to package webapp/dist content into the final war.
But I am not able to override the setting above to use webapp/dist, when using the package task.
I have also tried to create my own configuration like this:
webappResources in Compile := Seq(baseDirectory.value / "src" / "main" / "webapp" / "app")
lazy val ReleaseWarConfig = config("release-war") extend (Compile)
val root = (project in file(".")).
configs(ReleaseWarConfig).
settings(inConfig(ReleaseWarConfig)(webSettings): _*).
settings(
webappResources in Compile := Seq(baseDirectory.value/"src"/"main"/"webapp"/"dist")
)
// I have also tried webappResources in ReleaseConfig instead of Compile ..
But it still uses the webapp/app directory instead of webapp/dist directory.
Any help would be very much appreciated !!!!
What is the directory layout of your project? It sounds like you have your Web application resources directory at [myproject]/webapp/dist/, meaning you have WEB-INF/ and WEB-INF/web.xml (and various other optional resources) under [myproject]/webapp/dist/ as well. Is this correct?
To set the location of your Web application resources directory to [myproject]/webapp/dist/, add the following setting to your sbt configuration:
build.sbt:
webappSrc in webapp <<= (baseDirectory in Compile) map { _ / "webapp" / "dist" }
You can read more about this setting in the readme.
