sbt run-main not working from shell

[Matei Zaharia]

I'm using SBT 0.10.1, and I'd like to run an application with the
right classpath from the shell. However, if I type in sbt run-main
mypackage.MyClass, I get the following errors:

[error] Not a valid command: run-main
[error] Expected whitespace character
[error] run-main
[error] ^

On the other hand, if I just type in sbt to open SBT's console, and
type run-main mypackage.MyClass in there, it works fine. Am I doing
something wrong?

Just type run

Hi

The syntax for running command (run-main) with arguments (mypackage.MyClass) from the shell is

sbt "run-main mypackage.MyClass"

This is documented at https://github.com/harrah/xsbt/wiki/Running:

For commands that take arguments, pass the command and arguments as one argument to sbt by enclosing them in quotes.

 

Thanks,

Artem
