I have an sbt project that I have imported into Intellij. Sometimes I build the project at the command line using sbt, and then when I need to debug I build it from within Intellij. However, each time I alternate it requires a full rebuild when there is no need. Both build procedures output to the same class folder, namely .../target/scala-2.11/classes, so I don't understand why a full rebuild keeps happening?
As stated by CrazyCoder, intellij and sbt build have each their own tracking of changed files for incremental build. Thus each time one re-compile a file, the other treats it as a changed file and recompile it too.
While CrazyCoder's answer describes how to make them work on separated directory, by changing the sbt compiled classes dir. This answer explain how you can configure Intellij to use sbt for all build, thus only sbt does the compilation. This is a relatively new feature.
Just check the option:
file
> Settings
> Build, Execution, Deployment
> Build Tools
> SBT
> Use SBT shell for build and import
It works at least since intellij version 2017.2.3, and most probably it is an option from the SBT plugin.
For details about this feature, see jetbrains ticket: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SCL-10984
IntelliJ IDEA cannot reuse the classes produced by the other build systems because it has its own incremental compiler which tracks the dependencies and builds the caches during the compilation so that it can compile only modified and dependent files when you make a change in the code. When you built with SBT/Maven/Gradle or command line javac, IntelliJ IDEA compiler cache doesn't know about what has changed and which files it should compile, therefore it performs the full rebuild.
A solution would be to use different output directories for IDE and SBT, this way IntelliJ IDEA will rebuild only files modified since the last build in the IDE and your command line SBT build will not trigger a rebuild in the IDE.
This configuration is performed using the sbt-ide-settings plug-in.
Add the following into plugins.sbt (or whatever files you configure the plugins in):
resolvers += Resolver.url("jetbrains-bintray",url("http://dl.bintray.com/jetbrains/sbt-plugins/"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)
addSbtPlugin("org.jetbrains" % "sbt-ide-settings" % "0.1.2")
And here is how to customize the IDE output directory in build.sbt:
ideOutputDirectory in Compile := Some(new File("target/idea/classes"))
ideOutputDirectory in Test := Some(new File("target/idea/test-classes"))
Feel free to change the paths according to your needs.
I have an SBT project that depends on two snapshot dependencies. Every time I build it, it goes off to the remote repository to fetch the dependencies. This is true even if I set offline := true.
When I look at how it is trying to resolve the local dependencies, the build is saying it is looking in "local", i.e., ~/.ivy2/local/... -- which is a nonexistent directory.
The jars are in ~/.ivy2/cache/... and this is where SBT downloads them when it pulls the dependencies from the remote server.
I have searched my .sbt and .scala build files and the string "local" does not appear in them in connection with a repository or cache.
SBT is at version 0.13.11 building against scala 2.11.8.
Why is SBT doing this, and how can I get it to see the cached jars?
If you want to prevent SBT from trying to download from official repositories you could simply create a file project/offline-repositories:
[repositories]
mirror-central: file:////nexus/central
mirror-maven-central-org: file:////nexus/maven-central-org
...
(/nexus/central and /nexus/maven-central-org should contain a (partial) mirror of what you need offline)
Then call sbt with the sbt.repository.config property configured:
-Dsbt.override.build.repos=true \
-Dsbt.repository.config=./project/offline-repositories
For Reference:

How to prevent SBT from trying to download from official repositories?
EDIT
If you want to use your ~/.m2 cache:
[repositories]
mirror-central: file:////home/XXXXX/.m2/repository
mirror-maven-central-org: file:////home/XXXXX/.m2/repository
...
This apparently is because in my Ivy cache I had a file named ~/.ivy2/cache/com.xxx/xxx-utils/ivy-2.3.2-SNAPSHOT.xml.original , which the build was trying and failing to parse. I'm not sure where this file came from; conceivably it was put there manually ages ago.
In a freshly checked out sbt ( 0.3.7 ) project and empty ivy cache, is it possible to trigger compilation of the compiler-interface(s) needed without compiling the project itself? I have poked around but haven't found a way.
Currently if a compiler-interface is required it will be created during compilation of the project. I would like to have this compiled directly in a separate command if possible. This would allow CircleCi to cache it saving 1-3 minutes with every build because it could be cached in the dependencies section of the circle.yml.
In sbt 0.13.12 compile:compileIncremental seems to do the trick. I ran inspect compile and inspected its dependencies to find the command.
I ran sbt eclipse on a Scala Project and when I imported it into Scala IDE(4.0.0 RC2), it gave me a type not found error as the types referred to were actually auto-generated code which were at target/scala-2_10/src_managed/main/compiled_avro/org/... I was able to do a sbt compile at the console though.
I got it to compile by adding the above folder to the Java Build Path.
My question is that since sbt eclipse can already detect Java Projects which the current project depends on and since sbt compile works at the console, should sbt eclipse be able to figure out dependencies to source folders of generated code as well? or maybe such a feature exists and I just don't know about it?
This may not be the correct way of doing things but to fix the issue i did the following.
sbt avro:compile
sbt compile
sbt eclipse
In eclipse i right clicked on target/scala-*/src_managed/main/compiled_avro > build path > use as source folder
The sbteclipse way:
Edit your project or global build.sbt file. My global ~/.sbt/0.13/build.sbt contains:
import com.typesafe.sbteclipse.plugin.EclipsePlugin._
EclipseKeys.createSrc := EclipseCreateSrc.Default + EclipseCreateSrc.Managed
I'm using an older version of _sbteclipse, version 2.5.0 (various non-relevant reasons), which seems to require both the import and a single blank link between each line of real content (this drives me a bit crazy, yes). I don't believe the import is required for newer versions of sbteclipse.
sbt clean avro:compile compile
sbt eclipse
I've got an sbt (Scala) project that currently pulls artifacts from the web. We'd like to move towards a corporate-standardized Nexus repository that would cache artifacts. From the Nexus documentation, I understand how to do that for Maven projects. But sbt obviously uses a different approach. (I understand Ivy is involved somehow, but I've never used it and don't understand how it works.)
How do I tell sbt and/or the underlying Ivy to use the corporate Nexus repository system for all dependencies? I'd like the answer to use some sort of project-level configuration file, so that new clones of our source repository will automatically use the proxy. (I.e., mucking about with per-user config files in a dot-directory is not viable.)
Thanks!
Step 1: Follow the instructions at Detailed Topics: Proxy Repositories, which I have summarised and added to below:
(If you are using Artifactory, you can skip this step.) Create an entirely separate Maven proxy repository (or group) on your corporate Maven repository, to proxy ivy-style repositories such as these two important ones:
http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/
http://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-releases/
This is needed because some repository managers cannot handle Ivy-style and Maven-style repositories being mixed together.
Create a file repositories, listing both your main corporate repository and any extra one that you created in step 1, in the format shown below:
[repositories]
my-maven-proxy-releases: http://repo.example.com/maven-releases/
my-ivy-proxy-releases: http://repo.example.com/ivy-releases/, [organization]/[module]/(scala_[scalaVersion]/)(sbt_[sbtVersion]/)[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]
Either save that file in the .sbt directory inside your home directory, or specify it on the sbt command line:
sbt -Dsbt.repository.config=<path-to-your-repo-file>
Good news for those using older versions of sbt: Even though, in the sbt 0.12.0 launcher jar at least, the boot properties files for older sbt versions don't contain the required line (the one that mentions repository.config), it will still work for those versions of sbt if you edit those files to add the required line, and repackage them into the sbt 0.12.0 launcher jar! This is because the feature is implemented in the launcher, not in sbt itself. And the sbt 0.12.0 launcher is claimed to be able to launch all versions of sbt, right back to 0.7!
Step 2: To make sure external repositories are not being used, remove the default repositories from your resolvers. This can be done in one of two ways:
Add the command line option -Dsbt.override.build.repos=true mentioned on the Detailed Topics page above. This will cause the repositories you specified in the file to override any repositories specified in any of your sbt files. This might only work in sbt 0.12 and above, though - I haven't tried it yet.
Use fullResolvers := Seq( resolver(s) for your corporate maven repositories ) in your build files, instead of resolvers ++= or resolvers := or whatever you used to use.
OK, with some help from Mark Harrah on the sbt mailing list, I have an answer that works.
My build class now looks like the following (plus some other repos):
import sbt._
//By extending DefaultWebProject, we get Jetty support
class OurApplication(info: ProjectInfo) extends DefaultWebProject(info) {
// This skips adding the default repositories and only uses the ones you added
// explicitly. --Mark Harrah
override def repositories = Set("OurNexus" at "http://our.nexus.server:9001/nexus/content/groups/public/")
override def ivyRepositories = Seq(Resolver.defaultLocal(None)) ++ repositories
/* Squeryl */
val squeryl = "org.squeryl" % "squeryl_2.8.0.RC3" % "0.9.4beta5"
/* DATE4J */
val date4j = "hirondelle.date4j" % "date4j" % "1.0" from "http://www.date4j.net/date4j.jar"
// etc
}
Now, if I delete the Squeryl tree from my machine's .ivy2/cache directory, sbt tries to grab it from the Nexus tree with the appropriate URL. Problem solved!
All you need is to define a property file sbt.boot.properties which will allow you to:
redefine the ivy cache location (I need that because it would be otherwise part of our roaming Windows profile, which is severely limited in disk space in our shop. See Issue 74)
define any other Maven repo you want

Note: this sbt.boot.properties file is inspired from:
the one mentioned in the "Generalized Launcher" page of the sbt project.
the one found within sbt-0.74 itself!
I have commented any external Maven repository definition, and added a reference to my own Nexus Maven repo.
The launcher may be configured in one of the following ways in increasing order of precedence:
Replace the /sbt/sbt.boot.properties file in the jar.
Put a configuration file named sbt.boot.properties on the classpath. Put it in the classpath root without the /sbt prefix.
Specify the location of an alternate configuration on the command line. This can be done by:
either specifying the location as the system property sbt.boot.properties
or as the first argument to the launcher prefixed by '#'.
The system property has lower precedence.
Resolution of a relative path is:
first attempted against the current working directory,
then against the user's home directory,
and then against the directory containing the launcher jar.
An error is generated if none of these attempts succeed.
Define a sbt.bat wrapper (in order to be sure to specify your sbt.boot.properties) like:
C:\HOMEWARE>more C:\HOMEWARE\bin\sbt.BAT
#echo off
set t=%~dp0
set adp0=%t:C:\="%"
set SBT_DIR=%adp0%..\apps\sbt-0.74
dir C:\%SBT_DIR%\sbt-launch-0.7.4.jar
# if needed, add your proxy settings
set PROXY_OPTIONS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=my.proxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=80xx -Dhttp.proxyUser=auser -Dhttp.proxyPassword=yyyy
set JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx512M -cp C:\HOMEWARE\apps\sbt-0.74\sbt-launch-0.7.4
set SBT_BOOT_PROPERTIES=-Dsbt.boot.properties="sbt.boot.properties"
cmd /C C:\HOMEWARE\apps\jdk4eclipse\bin\java.exe %PROXY_OPTIONS% %JAVA_OPTIONS% %SBT_BOOT_PROPERTIES% -jar C:\HOMEWARE\apps\sbt-0.74\sbt-launch-0.7.4.jar %*
And your sbt will download artifacts only from:
your Nexus
your local Maven repo.
Just tested at home with an old Nexus opensource 1.6 I had running, java 1.6, sbt07.4
C:\Prog\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\jre\bin\java -Xmx512M -Dsbt.boot.properties=sbt.boot.properties - jar "c:\Prog\Scala\sbt\sbt-launch-0.7.4.jar"
That gives:
[success] Build completed successfully.

If I put 2.7.7 (while still having all repo commented), yes, it won't generate an error:

Well this has bugged me for a while so I found a guy that has written an SBT plugin for maven out on github called maven-sbt so all you have to do is include it in your plugins project and make your project mixin with maven.MavenDependencies and all your operations like update and publish-local work with your local maven. The nice thing about that is if you are like me, your org is all maven. So, all you libs are in you local maven repo but if for some reason you build with sbt first, then you start getting a bunch or jars in ivy too. What a waste of space, and time since you will still need to get them for your maven builds.
That said, I wish this were built into sbt so I would not need to add it to every project. Maybe as a processor at least. He mentioned in one thing I read that he would like to add it to 0.9 but I have not been able to find it.
I got this error because I had a blank file in ~/.sbt/repositories. Both adding repositories to the file and removing the file solved the problem.
