How come upgrading SBT fails the build?

[dwickern]

That one failing travis job is trying to download from

http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/org.scala-sbt/sbt-launch/1.1.1/sbt-launch.jar

instead of

http://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/maven-releases/org/scala-sbt/sbt-launch/1.1.1/sbt-launch.jar

🤔

I saw this note about the new slash syntax:

Note: One caveat to the plugin authors is that if you use the new syntax in your plugin it will push the minimum required sbt version to 1.1.0-RC for your users.

Is this still true? If we change to the slash syntax, will we break compatibility? @eed3si9n

@dwickern sbt plugins are just libraries that use sbt. If you use slash syntax in the plugin part of the code it will push the minimum requirement since it will require function calls that sbt 1.0.x won't understand. You can still use it in your build.sbt.

Hi,
I did use the slash syntax only in the build.sbt of the project, this shouldn’t push the minimum requirement.

Next try. I killed all build caches an restarted the failing job.
I'll at least want to figure out what's wrong, so that if we upgrade we
know how to fix this issue if travis ci has issues in another pull requests.

Any luck?

[muuki88]

Nope 😔

[muuki88]

My bad. I should have looked at our .travis.yml first

# workaround for https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/4527
      before_script:
        - curl -L --create-dirs -o $HOME/.sbt/launchers/1.0.2/sbt-launch.jar http://dl.bintray.com/sbt/maven-releases/org/scala-sbt/sbt-launch/1.0.2/sbt-launch.jar

You need to adjust that line as well.

All good @muuki88

[muuki88]

Awesome 😎
