Does sbt use Scala 2.7.x? I'm having problems...

Hello Kenneth,
SBT uses Scala 2.7.7 in order to run itself.

SBT will run project on what ever (available) version of Scala you tell it to do when you create the SBT project by running SBT in an empty folder.  So it seems from your output that the project is using Scala 2.8.1 to compile.

SBT does not automatically download all the dependencies unless you ask it to do so.  When you run SBT and are in the shell (you have a > prompt) then you can use the command update to resolve your dependencies.  In this case, after typing in update, SBT will download the ScalaTest libraries - assuming you are connected to the Internet.

SBT will put the scalatest libraries in a folder called lib_managed.

Thank you

Hi John, thanks for the response. I should've made clear that I've done 'reload' (and also restarted sbt) to make sure that it picked up any relevant changes to the project config file, and also done an 'update' to pick up everything necessary. Unfortunately, I'm still having the problem.
Yes, I'm using 2.8.1 to compile my project. I'd thought that sbt required 2.7 to run itself, but wanted to check.
It seems that no one else is having this problem, so hopefully I'll stumble across the solution sometime soon. It can't be that difficult... :-)
Cheers,Ken

Hi Ken

Just to make sure the problem does not come from the scala 2.7.7 used
by sbt, update it to 2.8.1.

To do that add the following line to project/build.properties
def.scala.version="2.8.1"

Good luck

The right format for the line is:
def.scala.version=2.8.1
and not what I wrote, by heart, in the previous email.

That's not a good idea as SBT 0.7.x is meant to run with Scala 2.7.7.
SBT will use Scala 2.8.1 from 0.9.0 onwards.

Best,
Ismael

Is that jar inside lib or lib_managed?

Very confused at the moment...
