sbt-assembly not including dependencies

Question

I am trying to build a fat jar to send to spark-submit using sbt assembly. However, I cannot seem to get the build process right.

My current build.sbt is as follows

name := "MyAppName"

version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.10.6"


libraryDependencies  ++= Seq(
  "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % "1.6.0" % "provided",
  "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-mllib" % "1.6.0" % "provided",
  "org.scalanlp" %% "breeze" % "0.12",
  "org.scalanlp" %% "breeze-natives" % "0.12"
)

resolvers ++= Seq(
  "Sonatype Snapshots" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
)

Running sbt-sssembly produces a jar. However, after submitting the jar to spark-submit spark-submit MyAppName-assembly-1.0.jar (there's already a main class specified so I'm assuming its ok I don't specify a class), the following exception gets thrown:

I'm relatively new to the world of scala and sbt, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

So it turns out the issue is that breeze is already included in spark. The issue was that spark contained a newer Breeze version with methods that my version didn't have.

My reference: Apache Spark - java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: breeze.linalg.DenseVector

Answer 2

I had a similar problem. I ended up saving the jar under lib directory then in assembly.sbt add :

unmanagedJars in Compile += file("lib/my.jar")
