sbt: Module not found: sbt-buildinfo

Question

I have created a hello-world sbt project and I would like to fetch a GitHub dependency. In particular, that dependency is the Scala compiler. In particular, I am creating a directory scala-dep-example and inside that directory, I have the following two files:

// File 1: Test.scala
object ScalaDepTest extends App {
    println("Hello from Scala dep !")
}

// File 2: build.sbt
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).
  settings(
    inThisBuild(List(
      organization := "me",
      scalaVersion := "2.11.12",
      version      := "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  )),
  name := "a name"
).dependsOn(ScalaDep)

lazy val ScalaDep = RootProject(uri("https://github.com/scala/scala.git"))

Inside that directory, I run the sbt command (which initializes the sbt version to 1.1.1 in scala-dep-example/project/build.properties ) and I am getting the following output:

How can I fix this in general? I found some slightly similar issues online but none was quite the same so I decided to post this.

I would really appreciate any hints/feedback on that. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

The sbt plug-in that you want to use is published for sbt 0.13.

Solution: Change the file scala-dep-example/project/build.properties to the following content:

sbt.version=0.13.16
