**Problem**
`sbt --version` in sbt 2.x project directories was delegated to the native client, which could try to start/connect to a server instead of printing version info.
**Solution**
Skip native-client delegation when `--version` is requested, and add runner-script tests for sbt 1.x and 2.x project variants.
Windows CMD interprets parentheses as special syntax for command grouping.
When the project directory path contains parentheses (e.g., in username),
the batch script fails with ') was unexpected at this time.' error.
This fix stores the current directory in a variable using delayed expansion
(!CURRENT_DIR!) instead of using %CD% directly, which properly handles
paths containing parentheses and other special characters.
Fixes#8644
Previously, passing JVM options like -Xmx1G directly on the command
line would result in an error:
sbt -v -Xmx1G
[error] Expected ';'
[error] -Xmx1G
[error] ^
This was because -X options were being passed to sbt as commands
instead of being recognized as JVM arguments.
Changes:
- Added handling for -X options in sbt.bat to pass them to the JVM
- Updated help text to document this feature
- Added integration tests for the new functionality
Filter rt-ext-dir output for java9-rt-ext- pattern, matching the
Unix script behavior. This prevents debug agent stdout (e.g.,
'Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 1234') from being
incorrectly parsed as a file path.
Fixes#8100
**Problem**
sbt -V tries to show both the sbt version and the runner version,
and ends up creating target directory even on a non-sbt directory.
**Solution**
If the current directory doesn't have a build, just display the runner version.
**Problem**
1. Currently users are automatically opted into -create-sbt,
somewhat implicitly.
2. When somehow they are not, the check mechanism currently blocks for input.
**Solution**
1. Support a new location for sbtopts file under XSG_CONFIG_HOME/sbt
2. Rename -create-sbt to --allow-empty, and don't opt everyone in
3. Exit 1 instead of blocking for input
Fixes#7387
* Fix VM argument passing by .sbtopts file and JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environmental variable, improve launcher script integration test setup
* Fix sbt process not exiting in launcher test for --sbt-version
* Fix JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS in launcher for linux/mac
Fixes#6530
Ref #6101
Problem
-------
Although having sbt server up by default is beneficial to well-tested
platforms like macOS, on less tested setups various native and/or
native-adjacent techniques we use could end up causing instability.
Solution
--------
This adds `--no-server` as a quick way of telling sbt not to start up
the sbt server or create virtual terminal.
