SBT 1.5.0: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/tools/nsc/reporters/FilteringReporter

[tovbinm]

Hello,

We just upgraded to sbt 1.5.0 and got the following error:

Are there any recommendations on how to overcome this issue?

[SethTisue]

presumably an out of date sbt launch script

[olafurpg]

The script is sbt-extras, which is installed like this

https://github.com/olafurpg/setup-scala/blob/05b368ddd620abc33fd3412cb2b33b54868a78b5/src/install.ts#L109

It's probably worth changing that to use cs install sbt instead 🤔

[SethTisue]

I don't trust cs install sbt. I'm optimistic it will eventually be suitable, but IMO it currently isn't, as per coursier/coursier#1957, coursier/coursier#1696, coursier/coursier#1755, coursier/coursier#1867

[laughedelic]

Also coursier/sbt-runner#6.

[olafurpg]

What is the recommended alternative to sbt-extras?

[SethTisue]

What is the recommended alternative to sbt-extras?

the sbt launch script published by the sbt maintainers and included in the sbt downloads

[SethTisue]

@eed3si9n the recommended way to obtain that is by extracting it from e.g. https://github.com/sbt/sbt/releases/download/v1.5.0/sbt-1.5.0.tgz , yes?

(I think sometimes people go for sbt-extras just because you can easily grab the launch script by itself)

[laughedelic]

By the way, official sbt launcher is preinstalled in GHA runners, at least on linux and windows, not sure why not on macos.

[eed3si9n]

@SethTisue I think so, or SDKMAN distribution, which we garden.

I've been actually thinking the official should have an option to work in one-file Bash script way.

[liufengyun]

I also ran into this problem, re-install solves the problem:

cs uninstall sbt
cs install sbt

[Miuler]

I also ran into this problem, re-install solves the problem:

cs uninstall sbt
cs install sbt

Esto funciono para mi.
This worked for me.

[SethTisue]

I've been actually thinking the official should have an option to work in one-file Bash script way.

Note that Eugene has now done this; the official launch script is available from e.g. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sbt/sbt/v1.5.2/sbt

Thank you for reporting! Closing this since it's not clear how to address this issue in this project. Please reopen if I'm misunderstanding
