sbt 0.11.2 and lifty 1.7.4: Wasn't able to parse json file...

[Alex]

Hi,

I have tried to upgrade lifty to 1.7.4. After changed my ~/.sbt/
plugins/build.sbt so it has

addSbtPlugin("org.lifty" % "lifty" % "1.7.4")

and run

lifty delete lift
lifty learn lift https://raw.github.com/Lifty/lifty/master/lifty-recipe/lifty.json

I get an error message: Wasn't able to parse json file: /home/
alex/.lifty/lift/lift.json

Cheers,
Alex

Hi, 

Please delete the entire ~/.lifty folder

rm -rf ~/.lifty

Now try again :)

Hi Mads,

I tried it, but it didn't help. Further ideas?

Cheers,

Please try to remove your ~/.sbt/plugins/project/target and your ~/.sbt/plugins/target folders .. I might be that it hasn't recompiled with the new version.

I have 1.7.4 installed here and it works fine.

I hope this helps,

Mads

Hi,

it didn't help too.
But I have started sbt in a fresh directory and tried it again. It
seems to work now. Thanks!

Hmm, that is weird - but I'm glad that you got it working! :)

Hi,

I've invested some time into this problem and it seems to be the
character "-" in the directory name: My-Project.

If I start sbt in a directory with a "-" in it's name and run
something like lifty update lift, I got an error message (Wasn't able
to parse...). But if I start sbt in a directory without "-" in it's
name, lifty update lift works fine.

Bug or feature?

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks for taking a deeper look into this! :) It's definitely a bug - I'll take a look at it.
