Packaging for sbt so you can run it.

sbt-launcher-package's Issues

sbt shellscript doesn't follow all symlinks when searching for launcher jar

Right now the launcher jar sits next to the shell script in the bin directory. That makes it easy to locate, but against policy.

I tried moving them both to a libexec directory on the mac for homebrew, and then symlinking only sbt itself to bin. That symlink in turn is then linked to /usr/local/bin by brew itself. So far so good.

sbt, unfortunately, only follows one symlink to /usr/local/bin/../Cellar/sbt-lancher/0.11.3/bin but that's not where the jar lives.

I tried whether calling readlink a second time would work, but it didn't. I think the trick is to canonicalize the path after every readlink call, to get rid of relative paths.

Cygwin: After exiting sbt, characters typed to shell are not shown

This happens on sbt 0.13.0-RC4, MSI install, under Cygwin and mintty terminal.

Reproducing:

1. Run sbt and exit it. (Even sbt --version causes this problem.)
2. Try to type something to the shell.
   • Expected: you see what you type
   • Actual: the typed characters are not visible

Workaround:

Enter (blindly) the command stty echo to the shell to turn echo back on.

Adding ClassUnloadingEnabled option

Hi,

A college had an issue with the automatic class reloading in sbt. On
a macbook I saw sbt adding the CMSClassUnloadingEnabled jvm flag.
I found two stackoverflow questions on this

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3334911/what-does-jvm-flag-cmsclassunloadingenabled-actually-do
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3717937/cmspermgensweepingenabled-vs-cmsclassunloadingenabled/3720052#3720052

and this may or may not be a good idea to add to the sbtopts

-J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC

sbt.msi installation problem on windows 7 64bit

Hi,

my java environment has no problem：

C:>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32

C:>java -version
java version "1.6.0_32"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_32-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.7-b02, mixed mode)

running sbt.msi, immediately returns me:

"This application requires a JVM available. Please install Java, then run this installer again."

any help?

Thanks.

MSI Installer lacks basic configuration

The MSI installer lacks basic configuration, so even the little it does it can get wrong. For instance, in my system it did two things wrong:

• Installed on Program Files (x86) instead of Program Files (lack of install path configuration)
• Added path to global setting instead of user setting (lack of profile selection for changes)

sbt.bat: better default JVM options; ability to add additional options

In particular, we need a bit more PermGen, -XX:MaxPermSize=256M

I'd also suggest to add %SBT_OPTS% to the command line, along the line of %MAVEN_OPTS% in the Maven world.

windows: default ANSI blue on black background unreadable

Loving the JANSI integration. But I can't read ANSI Blue on a black background (can anyone?). Can we provide a means (or document some existing means) to tweak the colors?

sbt.bat should use windows line endings

It works as is, but can't be edited in Notepad...

RPM Package for version 0.13.5 and 0.13.2 fails to install on CentOS 6.5 64-bit

Hi there.

I have downloaded the rpm package for version 0.13.5 from the following link: http://dl.bintray.com/sbt/rpm/sbt-0.13.5.rpm

Upon trying to install said package on my machine (CentOS 6.5 64-bit) there were some issues:

• First, I got error file name is too long when I tried to download it using wget. I had to rename it using the -o option so that I could download it with no errors.

• Once I downloaded it, it would install. These are some of the things I've tried and the errors I had:

  • using rpm -i

  [falmeida@sisc001-web backend]$ rpm -i sbt-0.13.5.rpm 
  error: sbt-0.13.5.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest): 
  [falmeida@sisc001-web backend]$ sudo rpm -i sbt-0.13.5.rpm 
  error: sbt-0.13.5.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest):
  

  • trying to download version 0.13.2 and using other methods of installing as well:

  [falmeida@sisc001-web backend]$ ls
  sbt-0.13.2.rpm  sbt-0.13.5.rpm
  [falmeida@sisc001-web backend]$ sudo rpm -i sbt-0.13.2.rpm

Would you please add native deb repository and RHEL repository?

The most popular linux distro is RHEL (centos ) and Debian.
Would you please maintained the native deb repository and RHEL repository?

Maybe it is easily to install sbt tools for CentOS and Debian users.

Garbage files in msi package

There are some files in http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-native-packages/org/scala-sbt/sbt/0.13.0-RC2/sbt.msi which i don't think serve any purpose, namely

Cannot install 0.11.3 SBT on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from Typesafe Debian Repository

Hi,

This process used to work fine in 0.11.2 but the recent change w.r.t to sbt group ID changed to org.scala-sbt (from org.scala-tools.sbt) seems to have broken a dependency.

I've got a 10.04 LTS machine to which I added the Typesafe deb repository using the deb package file, described in: https://github.com/harrah/xsbt/wiki/Getting-Started-Setup.

When I try to install from the repo I get:

[warn] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

How do I instruct sbt to look for scripted-plugin at the right group id?

Thanks, Jason.

Publish SBT to Debian/Ubuntu

There is no package available to download, even though a .deb is available from the website.

This is very important when building servers, specially if you are using virtual images like vagrant and docker.

Windows MSI - Overwrites System Path Variable

Installer appears to have overwritten System path variable. We customize our path variable for our internal applications, so noticed it immediately. Our apps create system variables which we then append/prepend to the path variable.

Variable: APPLICATION_CONFIG
Value: C:\Apps\cfg

Then, edit/update PATH variable:

%APPLICATION_CONFIG%;{original PATH value}

network still used when -offline flag present

Reopening this here as it was suggested as a more relevant place than the sbt repo...

If I remove a dependency of my project and run sbt with the -offline flag, I would expect it to fail. Instead it downloads the dependency from the network:

[developer@sandbox testsbtproject]$ rm -rf vendor/cache/junit/
[developer@sandbox testsbtproject]$ sbt -Dsbt.ivy.home=vendor -offline run

sbt won't start from directory with spaces in path

I installed http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-native-packages/org/scala-sbt/sbt/0.13.0-RC2/sbt.msi to "c:\Program Files (x86)\sbt"
Using cygwin bash i executed

Problems with Customized Installation Path on Windows

The installation path on Windows does not seem to work at all. It always installs on my 32 bit application path even though I try to override it with the 64 bit application path.

One other thing I noticed is that the path installation option disappears if I de-select the PATH update "component". I haven't tried other components, and this is not related to the first problem (I tried these things on different installs).

Cannot pass commands with (space separated) arguments to sbt

For example:

tsf-444-wpa-5-089:assignments luc$ sbt "show sources"
[error] Not a valid command: show (similar: shell)
[error] Expected whitespace character
[error] Expected '/'
[error] Expected ':'
[error] Not a valid key: show (similar: show-timing)
[error] show
[error]     ^

Works fine with sbt-extras.

SBT can't be uninstalled/upgraded on Windows

I've installed SBT 0.12 with MSI installer. When trying to install SBT 0.12.1 I get the message

Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.

However, SBT doesn't appear in the Programs part of the Control Panel so I can't remove it.

"Ham fisted" memory settings keep sbt from launching on machines with less than 1GB of memory unnecessarily

https://github.com/sbt/sbt-launcher-package/blob/full-packaging/src/universal/bin/sbt-launch-lib.bash#L80h

# a ham-fisted attempt to move some memory settings in concert
# so they need not be dorked around with individually.
get_mem_opts () {
  local mem=${1:-1024}
  local perm=$(( $mem / 4 ))
  (( $perm > 256 )) || perm=256
  (( $perm < 1024 )) || perm=1024
  local codecache=$(( $perm / 2 ))

  echo "-Xms${mem}m -Xmx${mem}m -XX:MaxPermSize=${perm}m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=${codecache}m"
}

Sbt wont launch on my digital ocean (512 M) Ubuntu droplet without me commenting the echo in this function out because it overrides my env settings.

sbt is not signed, so it's not installed on Fedora 16 with default command

yum install sbt
.....

Package sbt-0.11.3-1.noarch.rpm is not signed
[root@aa22 fixture-state-management]#

Workaround is disable gnupg check by using

  yum install --nogpgcheck  sbt

or alter /etc/yum.repos.d/typesafe.repo by adding line 'gnupgcheck=0' at the end on file, but better sign package ;)

Download SBT for Windows link is broken

Dear all,
I tried to download the windows MSI installer but the link is broken or the server is down either which.
Can you please check the Link?

Deb artifacts should be GPG signed

Deb artifacts should be GPG signed so they can be installed without warnings or workarounds on Debian/Ubuntu systems. sbt-native-packager supports the debianSign action, and bintray supports GPG signing via their REST API.

FHS compliance

According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, system-independent files such as jars should go in /usr/share, not /usr/lib.

RPM spec file not available on Github

It would be nice to be able to rebuild the SBT RPM from RPM sources.
I didn't find any spec or srpm file on Github. Is it available somewhere? Or can it be pushed on this github repository? We would be able to do some Pull Requests to improve it.

Thanks

sbt version in build.properties is ignored

sbt 0.11.2 is used if you specify sbt 0.11.1. This bug is confirmed here.

change default of sbt-dir to ~/.sbt/<version>

This is already implemented in paulp/sbt-extras but not available in the 0.11.3 download from http://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html . So I guess it should be a simple merge from paulp/sbt-extras .

sbt windows msi download page is blocked by Panda cloud malware protection

The page has been blocked as it contains malware or exploits.

Chrome indicates Windows installer as malware

Chrome marks the latest SBT installer download as malware. This may be due to a simple name match, since there is a trojan called sbt.

Seen on Chrome 35.0.1916.114m on Windows 7. Also seen on Windows 8.1, but I don't have that system in front of me to check the Chrome version.

I have an earlier version of an sbt msi that isn't version tagged, SHA1 of f3871740ad9118d98391573af674d40220082738. This wasn't indicated as malicious when I downloaded it in April. This is not signed, so this probably isn't #31, as one was OK and one isn't.

VirusTotal shows sbt-0.13.5.msi as clean as of the filing of this issue.

sbt -help says

but it actually looks in the current directory, not the "sbt root" (I don't know what that means, but what that means is irrelevant, since it's wrong anyway).

Issues in RPM structure

The RPM provided on scala-sbt.org has a few issues

Running 'rpm -qpl sbt-0.13.5.rpm', we have the following results

$ rpm -qpl sbt-0.13.5.rpm
/etc/sbt-launcher-packaging
/usr
/usr/bin/sbt
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/sbt
/usr/share/doc/sbt/copyright
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/sbt.1.gz
/usr/share/sbt-launcher-packaging/bin
/usr/share/sbt-launcher-packaging/bin/sbt
/usr/share/sbt-launcher-packaging/bin/sbt-launch-lib.bash
/usr/share/sbt-launcher-packaging/bin/sbt-launch.jar
/usr/share/sbt-launcher-packaging/conf
/usr/share/sbt-launcher-packaging/conf/sbtconfig.txt
/usr/share/sbt-launcher-packaging/conf/sbtopts

The RPM should not own the following directories (and erase their user rights) :

/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man

This folders are provided by the filesystem system on Red Hat distributions, it can be dangerous to override this.

I didn't find the RPM spec file on github. I've opened another issue about its availability so we would be able to offer some patches : #74

Thanks

Calculate Installed-Size property for debian packages

Ubuntu requires a Installed-Size in the control file. It's the size in KB of installed files. We should be able to calculate this on the fly.

sbt-launcher SshResolver

Desperately trying to get sbt installed, so I can take the coursera Scala Reactive Programming course, but have been spending days trying to get it to work. Shoud be easy, right?

So running sbt the first time, it wants to down load jars from the typesefe.com repo. The error seems to be that sbt-launcher.jar doesn't include this class:

setting 'ivy.default.settings.dir' to 'jar:file:/D:/sbt/sbt-launch.jar!/org/apache/ivy/core/settings'
setting 'ivy.basedir' to 'C:\Windows\System32.'
setting 'ivy.default.conf.dir' to 'jar:file:/D:/sbt/sbt-launch.jar!/org/apache/ivy/core/settings'
impossible to define new type: class not found: org.apache.ivy.plugins.resolver.SshResolver in [] nor Ivy classloader

There are a number of other "impossible to define" statements.

I'm running on Windows 7 x64 with Java 7_045. I have Avast antivirus running.

For now, I'm happy to hack any kind of solution manually. What jars should I download and where should I put them to make sbt-launcher happy?

Thanks!

This repository is misleadingly named

It would be more accurate to call it sbt-launcher-launcher, since that's what it is. A launcher for sbt-launcher.jar.
