twitter eval library using sbt doesn't work on 32 bit windows

[Ahmet Sevki]

I am trying to use twitter eval, running it through sbt commandline.
It works on 64-bit Windows 7 with java version:
java version "1.7.0_02"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_02-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode)
But it doesn't work on 32-bit Windows XP
main.scala:
java version "1.7.0_02"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_02-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode, sharing)

-----------
It works on the same machine (that it doesn't work using sbt) if I
run
it through REPL
C:\xxxx\scala\evaltest\src\main\scala>scala -classpath "c:\Documents
and Settings\xx\.ivy2\cache\com.twitter\util-eval_2.9.1\jars\util-
eval_2.9.1-1.12.8.jar"
Welcome to Scala version 2.9.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM,
Java
1.7.0_02).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.
scala> val value = (new com.twitter.util.Eval).apply[Int]("1+1")
value: Int = 2
scala>
-----------------
Now, let's run it under sbt (0.11.2)
FILES:
object Main {
def main(args:Array[String])
{
val value = (new com.twitter.util.Eval).apply[Int]("1+1")
println("value is " + value)
}
}

----------------------------------
build.sbt
name := "mm"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.9.1"
resolvers += "twitter-repo" at "http://maven.twttr.com"
scalacOptions ++= Seq("-deprecation")
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.twitter" % "util-core_2.9.1" % "1.12.8", "com.twitter" %
"util-
eval_2.9.1" % "1.12.8"
)

When I run in sbt It raises the following exception:
[info] Running Main

This is a dumbed down version for reproducing the error. However in

I finally figured it out.

1) You need to fork the sbt run
add this to your build.sbt
fork in run := true

this will allow

val value = (new com.twitter.util.Eval).apply[Int]("1+1")

to run successfully.

2) Due to dumb spaces in windows user directory (c:\Documents and
Settings\...) when classpaths are converted in util-eval, they get
Documents%20% type garbage in them. The solution is to override sbt's
ivy2 directory. In your sbt.bat file
java -Dsbt.ivy.home=<your new iv2 dir here> -jar ".\sbt-launch.jar"
%*

It fixes the problem. Somehow this is not a problem in Windows 7 (64
bit). Hours and hours of time lost because of inferior operation
system tax.
