Sbt failing to install

Build Environment
1

Hi,

using sbt, without any modifications (I commented out everything in circle.yml), I get the following error:

cat /dev/null | sbt test:compile
Detected sbt version sbt.version = 0.13.9
Cannot find sbt launcher sbt.version = 0.13.9
Please download: 
  From  http://typesafe.artifactoryonline.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/org.scala-sbt/sbt-launch/sbt.version =     0.13.9/sbt-launch.jar

cat /dev/null | sbt test:compile returned exit code 1

To /home/ubuntu/.sbt/.lib/sbt.version/sbt-launch.jar Action failed: sbt test:compile

Docs list 0.13.9 as a supported version.

I tried the build again without cache, I get the same error.

Hi there,

I’m seeing in our docs that the latest supported version of sbt is 13.1. You can use sbt 0.13.9 by adding the following to your circle.yml:

machine:
  environment:
    SBT_VERSION: 0.13.9
    SBT_OPTS: "-Xms512M -Xmx1536M -Xss1M -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:MaxPermSize=256M"
dependencies:
  cache_directories:
    - "~/.sbt"
  pre:
    - wget --output-document=$HOME/bin/sbt-launch.jar https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/org.scala-sbt/sbt-launch/"$SBT_VERSION"/sbt-launch.jar
    - echo "java $SBT_OPTS -jar \`dirname \$0\`/sbt-launch.jar \"\$@\"" > $HOME/bin/sbt
    - chmod u+x $HOME/bin/sbt
    - which sbt
    - sbt sbt-version

If this solves your problem, please mark the issue as solved by selecting the checkbox.

Cheers,
Frank

Ah, I missed that. I was only looking at https://circleci.com/docs/environment/#scala

that solved it, thank you :slight_smile:
