Unable to resolve a dependency previously published on my github pages

[Julien Richard-Foy]

Hi,

I can’t find how to properly publish my code on a maven repository hosted on my github pages.

I developed a library and want to publish it on a home made maven repository. Here is my build.sbt file: https://github.com/julienrf/play-jsmessages/blob/master/jsmessages/build.sbt

I tried with and without adding a configuration “publishMavenStyle := true”, it does not change anything.

After I publish my code on my local filesystem I push it on my github pages: https://github.com/julienrf/julienrf.github.com (or http://julienrf.github.com/repo/)

Now I have a sample application which depends on my library. Here is its Build.scala file: https://github.com/julienrf/play-jsmessages/blob/master/sample/project/Build.scala

When I try to resolve the dependencies I get the following error:

$ sbt update

[info] Loading global plugins from /home/julien/.sbt/plugins

I don’t understand why my repository at http://julienrf.github.com/repo/ is not even tried. I looked at some other libraries of the same kind (e.g. https://github.com/mbknor/gt-engine-play2) and I could depend on them and resolve them without any problem. What did I miss? Why is my repository not well recognized?

Note: publishing locally works perfectly.

Julien

Please help!

Why is my repository not even tried? Do I need to add another piece of information somewhere?

Hi Julian,

I saw your plugin and seems to be very useful.

Did you manage to publish this in the maven repository.

I can help you with that if not.

This is a small hack : do play publish-local which will publish your jars into the play-repository. 

Find those jars and rename it to any name you prefer, then manually install that jar into your maven repository (.m2/repository) using http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html

Then find your jars inside .m2/repository. Get those artifacts and commit into your repository in github or maven-repo. So you will be able to use those jars afterwards.

If need further info, pls let mke know.
