After the above command, things looked better. That seems a problem though.

I still had to run that update downloadables in the script console for the sbt plugin to download 0.13.8

Same here, I still need to run this workaround and for better or worse have to include it in the instructions for using the plugin in a book that I am writing around the topic of Reactive Web Applications. To be honest though it looks somewhat odd in there, so I was wondering, is there something that could be done to fix this situation? I have absolutely no experience with Jenkins plugin development, but I imagine it should not be too difficult to run this snippet as part of installing the plugin? I'd be willing to help to get this fixed just to be able to remove the workaround from the chapter.

Is this also still necessary in Jenkins 1.619 and newer? I added functionality to update tool installers (basically the script above) whenever you install a plugin that defines one. (JENKINS-27694)

With JENKINS-27612 resolved, this issue should be obsolete now.

Jenkins 1.637 using sbt plugin 1.5 - unable to automatically download sbt versions using the scala-sbt.org installer. We're using the 1.5 plugin and 1.4 configuration as a workaround for now...

chuckwired Can you elaborate on what you mean by 1.4 configuration?

blbradley By that we mean we download the sbt installer/binary using userdata (in AWS) into /home/centos/workspace/tools during provisioning of a Jenkins slave, and then specify to Jenkins that there is an sbt installation already in that directory

chuckwired I see. Thanks for your quick response.

Then, the auto-installer function must be completely broken in newer versions. I've tried

• the script mentioned above to fix 'Install from scala-sbt.org'
• 'Install from '*.zip/*.tar.gz' and the path given to '-jar' is empty.

Good to know most of the functionality besides the auto-installer works.

One issue I noticed is that the SBT Artifactory was shut down in favor of Bintray – could this be related? Tool downloads failing?

I created a PR for the crawler at https://github.com/jenkinsci/backend-crawler/pull/48 (which will also make the newest releases available again).

Tried this recently on Jenkins 2.10 with the automatic installer and some versions now work correctly, I think you might be right danielbeck with the Artifactory --> Bintray move!

Can confirm 0.13.9 installs successfully now, and 0.13.9.2 returns a "resource not found".

Seems it's looking for:
https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/native-packages/sbt/0.13.9.2/0.13.9.2.zip
but it's actually located in:
https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/native-packages/sbt/0.13.9/0.13.9.2.zip
