Cannot start any Play application because of missing sbt-js-engine

[michalzubkowicz]

Even when I create new application:

sbt new playframework/play-java-seed.g8

After running sbt run I get:

Can anyone tell why this package is not published?

[francisdb]

Some googling came up with this

resolvers += Resolver.url("SBT Plugins", url("https://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-releases/"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)

which should end up here:
https://scala.jfrog.io/ui/native/sbt-plugin-releases/com.typesafe.sbt/sbt-js-engine/scala_2.12/sbt_1.0/1.2.3/

Not sure though why this does not work by default

[francisdb]

I guess you have to add that to plugins.sbt

[francisdb]

maybe log a ticket at https://github.com/playframework/play-java-seed.g8 ?

[francisdb]

However I can't reproduce your issue:

sbt new playframework/play-java-seed.g8
...

sbt run

@francisdb , if you have this package in cache, everything works correctly.

Adding repository also didn't help.

Thanks for trying!

[francisdb]

I cleared the coursier cache in above example, hence the downloads
Are you sure you added it in ./project/plugins.sbt instead of the main build?
Is you globally installed sbt up to date?

> which sbt
/Users/me/.sdkman/candidates/sbt/current/bin/sbt

> head /Users/me/.sdkman/candidates/sbt/current/bin/sbt
#!/usr/bin/env bash

set +e
declare builtin_sbt_version="1.6.2"
...

[michalzubkowicz]

Sbt version 1.6.2 is used:

[info] welcome to sbt 1.6.2 (Private Build Java 11.0.15)

I was trying both - adding resolver to build.sbt and plugins.sbt

[francisdb]

then I am out of ideas, what os are you using?

[michalzubkowicz]

Linux, I've tried on ubuntu 22.04 and Kde Neon (based on Ubuntu 20.04).

[mkurz]

@michalzubkowicz How did you install sbt? I also can not reproduce your problem.
What does

sbt -version

print?
I think there is a problem in your setup, because I use sbt new playframework/play-java-seed.g8 (or the scala seed) on a regular basis and never encountered any problems. Also trying to reproduce this issue here I moved my coursier cache so it's clean.

[michalzubkowicz]

I've checked again on third distro and it's still not working, but I've tried on other profile and it's working.
So it's something profile related. Do you know which directories should I remove to have clean sbt install?
I've tried deleting .sbt and .ivy2, and cache/sbt, but it didn't help

[francisdb]

try show csrCacheDirectory in sbt, I think it's ~/.cache/coursier/v1

[michalzubkowicz]

Still it didn't help. Anyway I have workaround (new profile) so thanks for your time.
