MissingFormatArgumentException when running sbt without arguments

[rkl...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I have got a strange error which I don't know how to debug. In a multi-module sbt project, I get an error java.util.MissingFormatArgumentException immediately when starting sbt without arguments. Running specific tasks like sbt compile works fine.

rklaehn@buildserver:~/projects_git/satmon3$ sbt
[info] Loading project definition from /home/rklaehn/projects_git/satmon3/project
[info] Set current project to root (in build file:/home/rklaehn/projects_git/satmon3/)
[error] java.util.MissingFormatArgumentException: Format specifier 's'
[error] Use 'last' for the full log.

The recommended way to get debug info, running "sbt last", does not reveal anything either. I also tried adding -v.

rklaehn@buildserver:~/projects_git/satmon3$ sbt last
[info] Loading project definition from /home/rklaehn/projects_git/satmon3/project

[debug]    
[info] Set current project to root (in build file:/home/rklaehn/projects_git/satmon3/)

There must be some way to at least get a full stack trace of the exception above. I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with the build script, or else compile would not work. Sbt version is 0.12.2.

Any ideas how to debug this?

best regards,
