coursier / sbt-runner

Argument processor for sbt/launcher

sbt-runner

sbt-runner is a tiny Java application, whose main class

• parses its arguments just like sbt-extras does, supporting a subset of the arguments of sbt-extras, then
• loads and starts the main class of the official sbt launcher (sbt/launcher).

It's designed to be put in the class path alongside the JAR of sbt/launcher. It starts the main class of sbt/launcher put alongside it in the class path.

It can be used with the help of coursier like

$ cs launch io.get-coursier.sbt:sbt-runner:0.1.0 org.scala-sbt:sbt-launch:1.3.10 -- -Dfoo=bar test:compile
$ cs launch io.get-coursier.sbt:sbt-runner:0.1.0 org.scala-sbt:sbt-launch:1.3.10 -- -help

or via the default app channel, where it's named just sbt,

$ cs launch sbt -- -Dfoo=bar test:compile
$ cs install sbt
$ sbt -help

sbt-runner's Issues

Installed app skips args parsing

If I launch this app with full coordinates it works as expected:

►  cs launch io.get-coursier.sbt:sbt-runner:latest.stable -- -help
Usage: sbt [options]
...

But running it with just sbt skips the args parsing part:

►  cs launch sbt -- -help
[info] welcome to sbt 1.4.0 (Oracle Corporation Java 1.8.0_192)
...
[error] -help
[error]  ^

or with cs install:

►  cs install sbt
►  which sbt
~/Library/Application Support/Coursier/bin/sbt
►  sbt -help
[info] welcome to sbt 1.4.0 (Oracle Corporation Java 1.8.0_192)
