Sbt alternative to "mvn install -DskipTests"

Question

I am trying to install an sbt based project in a local maven repository. I tried the commands:

• "sbt publish" - repository credentials required
• "sbt publish-local" install in .ivy repositry, but I need maven!

How can I perform such an operation in terms of SBT?

Answer 1

There are goods in the SBT quiz. Just define the repo (look at “Publish to the local maven user repository” on the linked page) and call “publish”.

Answer 2

Using SBT 0.13 and without editing the project source files:

• Create (or edit) the global.sbt file in ~/.sbt/0.13 :

  vim ~/.sbt/0.13/global.sbt

• Add the following line:

  publishTo := Some(Resolver.file("file", new File(Path.userHome.absolutePath+"/.m2/repository")))

• Save and close the file

• Run sbt publish from the project folder
