Sbt cannot find dependency on sbt script

Question

I am using the scripted sbt plugin for one of my projects, and it works fine, but has recently stopped working without any obvious reason. Here is an example of an installation that fails:

 # project/plugins.sbt libraryDependencies += "org.scala-sbt" % "scripted-plugin" % sbtVersion.value # build.sbt scalaVersion := "2.11.6" scriptedSettings # project/build.properties sbt.version=0.13.5 

When I do sbt update , I see the following. Note that it loads scripted-plugin , but cannot find scripted-sbt . This worked until recently and just stopped. Any ideas?

Answer 1

It looks like the script plugin is only in the sbt-plugins repository. Which seems to be added only if sbtPlugin is set to true.

Making the following change in your example gives me permission:

 #build.sbt sbtPlugin := true scalaVersion := "2.11.6" scriptedSettings 

With the following output:

 sbt update [info] Loading project definition from /root/test/project [info] Set current project to test (in build file:/root/test/) [info] Updating {file:/root/test/}test...

Notice, I also tried this with sbt 0.13.8 and had the same problem and the same results.

EDIT: if the sbtPlugin := true parameter does not make sense for this particular application, you can add resolvers += Resolver.typesafeIvyRepo("releases") in main build.sbt to achieve the same results.

EDIT2: This could also be a problem: resolvers not related to sbt dependent projects?
