Ivy Credentials problems

[Eric J. Christeson]

I just spent the better part of this afternoon trying to use our local
nexus repo which requires authentication. I carefully followed the
instructions related to publishing and had partial success. If I
specified the credentials in build.sbt like this:

credentials += Credentials("Sonatype Nexus Repository
Manager","<host>","<username>","<password>")

it would work

However, specifying it like this:
credentials += Credentials(Path.userHome / ".ivy2" / ".credentials")

would not. I verified that sbt could open the file by mistyping it
and seeing the warning when it could not open the file. I verified
that it was parsing the file by leaving out the 'user' key. I read
the ivy/Credentials.scala code to make sure I was using all the
correct keys. I found my problem when I started a post to this group
asking for help. In ~/.ivy2/.credentials, I had a trailing space in
my 'host' value. I didn't catch it until I was pasting the contents
of the file to send a message.

I think I'll file a bug report for stripping trailing whitespace from
values in the credentials file. Heck, maybe I'll submit a patch for
it :-)

Thanks,
Eric
