Sbtcli

An experimental CLI on Node for Sbt 1.2.X written in Scala.js.

Feel free to start using it and report any bug, feature request, please note that it's still under hard development.

Install

If you have already npm installed in your machine:

npm install -g sbtcli-poc

Or you can download your (alpha) architecture specific binary from the releases: https://github.com/andreaTP/sbtcli/releases

How to use

From the base directory of any Sbt 1.2.X project you can type:

sbtcli <sbt-command>

or simply:

sbtcli

to access an interactive shell.

First time you spin it up, if Sbt hasn't already started it starts a detached instance of Sbt, to turn it off you should explicitly call:

sbtcli shutdown

You can tweak the logging level by setting the env variable:

SBTCLI_LOGLEVEL

or with command line options (takes precedence over env variable), default is to "info".

[experimental] File watch

File watch option (command line option --continue or -c) depends on Node.js watch and is available under this restrictions:

Limitations

Anything you can think about ...

Among the others, right now you can only execute straight commands.
