dockerEntrypoint has no effect in 1.1.4 and 1.1.5

I'm trying to override the default ENTRYPOINT of my dockerized Play Framework 2.5 application with dockerEntrypoint by setting the following in my build.sbt:

dockerEntrypoint := Seq("bin/my-app", "-Dconfig.resource=application-prod.conf")

but no matter what I do, when I run the docker:stage task the ENTRYPOINT in the generated Dockerfile is always

ENTRYPOINT ["bin/foobar"]

where foobar is the name defined for my application in build.sbt:

name := """foobar"""

I have tried both sbt-native-packager 1.1.4 and 1.1.5.

I also tried setting dockerCommands := Seq() to start from scratch as described here http://www.scala-sbt.org/sbt-native-packager/formats/docker.html#configuration but again no effect. I can change FROM, MAINTAINER and EXPOSE without problems.

Is this known to work in 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 for sure?

Have you found the issue?

An embarrassing stupid user error not related to sbt-native-packager. Therefore I closed the issue asap. Being pretty new to sbt, I did not realize it does not reload build.sbt automatically (I was running the sbt console).

Build systems tend to be tricky in the beginning 😉
Hope native-packager doesn't get in the way.

Happy hacking.
