set alias in build.sbt

[Diego Medina]

Hi,

I run this command pretty often:

;container:stop; container:start;

Today I found out I can do (form the sbt prompt

alias s = ;container:stop; container:start;

so then I just type

> s

and the magic happens.

Is there a way to include this in build,sbt?

Thanks

Diego

In 0.12.0, there is a method addCommandAlias. You would add the line:

addCommandAlias("s", ";container:stop; container:start;")

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the answer and I'm sorry I forgot to include that I'm still using 0.11.2 (this is at work, and it may take some time before we can upgrade).

Is there a way in 0.11.2 ?

Thanks

  Diego

You can't put it in build.sbt, but you can put it in .sbtrc or ~/.sbtrc. Each line in .sbtrc is evaluated as a command before the project is loaded.

Hello,

This doesn't seem to work for me.

In my build.sbt, I've got:

addCommandAlias("a", "about")

However, when I restart sbt, the alias is not defined:

> a

[error] Not a valid command: a

[error] Not a valid project ID: a

[error] Expected ':' (if selecting a configuration)

[error] Not a valid key: a

[error] a

I'm using sbt 0.13.1 and it's definitely picking up the changes in build.sbt (because adding a typo will stop sbt from starting). 

Any ideas?

Cheers,

pat
