I have installed Scala 2.10.3 and SBT 0.13.1. When I execute SBT following Hello, World from the SBT documentation I get the following error message:
"Error during sbt execution: No Scala version specified or detected"
I've tried to add a build.sbt
file with the scalaVersion
but the error keeps showing up.
Please advise.
I've just downgraded sbt to 0.12.3 and it works ... so what's wrong with 0.13.X ?
Its not an issue with the upgrade of 0.13.* version. Its the repository cache thats causing the issue. There are possibilities where you have broken / no ivys (when only the jar is downloaded through maven repo) for the sbt jars in your cache.
Once upgraded remove your ivy repo cache (or rename the folder) and remove the .sbt/boot folder (removing this will enable to start from the scratch)
Edit your ./sbt/repositories file and provide preference to the ivy repositories. If you are using proxy repositories which includes both ivy and maven style artifacts, the add it as below
[repositories]
local
maven-local
maven-central-ivy: http://<repository url>, [organization]/[module]/(scala_[scalaVersion]/)(sbt_[sbtVersion]/)[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]
maven-central: http://<repository url>
This will enable especially (org.scala-sbt/sbt/*) to be download with the Ivys xml from where the version / revision and dependencies are picked up for the builds. If only the jar is downloaded from "maven-central", then the error occurs.
It is the problem of IDE you are using specially the scala plugin in it.
You can get ride of this just go to the folder where the build.sbt is created. Delete the "project" folder and open cmd, run "sbt" command on the folder, a new project folder will be created. Now you can open that in IDE.
It may be that you may find some problem very first in ide, if you build the project once , all the problems will go away.
I did exactly what @Gopi proposed but this is my repositories file content:
[repositories]
local
jcenter: https://jcenter.bintray.com/
maven-central
typesafe-ivy-releases: https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/, [organization]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext], bootOnly
sbt-ivy-snapshots: https://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/ivy-snapshots/, [organization]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext], bootOnly
My SBT Version: 1.1.1
java version 1.8
Windows 10
Hope that helps,

I've also installed both Scala and SBT on my machine through homebrew and can just run the given simple hello example, so i guess you did something wrong :-)
Please provide a bit more diagnostics, for example:
What is the output of both commands 'which sbt' and 'which scala'?
You should see the results as below:
$ which scala
/usr/local/bin/scala
$ which sbt
/usr/local/bin/sbt
$ ls -laF /usr/local/bin/sbt
lrwxr-xr-x 1 rjk admin 28 Feb 9 13:32 /usr/local/bin/sbt@ -> ../Cellar/sbt/0.13.1/bin/sbt
$ ls -laF /usr/local/bin/scala
lrwxr-xr-x 1 rjk admin 32 Feb 9 13:38 /usr/local/bin/scala@ -> ../Cellar/scala/2.10.3/bin/scala
And given the directory where you ran the example code from, is it completely empty besides the hw.scala example? Or did you also add the build.sbt or project/build.properties? If that's the case it would be wise to also list that here to spot any problems with them.
