Trouble getting global plugins to work in 0.11

[Bart Schuller]

Hi,

I have a hard to diagnose problem with global plugins and sbt 0.11.0.

~/.sbt contains:

  boot

  plugins.sbt

  target

In plugins.sbt I have just

  resolvers += "sbt-idea-repo" at "http://mpeltonen.github.com/maven/"

  addSbtPlugin("com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "0.11.0")

  addSbtPlugin("com.eed3si9n" % "sbt-assembly" % "0.7.0")

If I now

  mkdir foo

  cd foo

  sbt

then neither of the plugins are available. If I then

  mkdir project

  touch project/plugins.sbt

  sbt

then suddenly sbt recognizes the global plugins.

I don't think that difference is supposed to be there.

See also https://github.com/mpeltonen/sbt-idea/issues/95 where I started my search for answers.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Bart.

I ran into the same issue with sbt-twt.

While it probably *should* be consistent with project/plugins.sbt for
build, release note does say look at [Plugin][1] page for details, and
Plugin page says follows:

> The ~/.sbt/plugins/ directory is treated as a global plugin definition project.

But that page also says:

Global plugins example

The simplest global plugin definition is declaring a library or plugin in ~/.sbt/plugins.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "org.example" %% "example-plugin" % "0.1"

This plugin will be available for every sbt project for the current user.

so I don't think that's the reason.

Sorry, that should be ~/.sbt/plugins/build.sbt. I fixed it.
