Nightly Builds
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Nightly builds are currently being published to |typesafe-snapshots|_.
|
|
|
|
To use a nightly build, follow the instructions for normal
|
|
:doc:`Setup </Getting-Started/Setup>`, except:
|
|
|
|
1. Download the launcher jar from one of the subdirectories of |nightly-launcher|.
|
|
They should be listed in chronological order, so the most recent one will be last.
|
|
2. Call your script something like ``sbt-nightly`` to retain access to a
|
|
stable ``sbt`` launcher.
|
|
3. The version number is the name of the subdirectory and is of the form
|
|
``0.13.x-yyyyMMdd-HHmmss``. Use this in a ``build.properties`` file.
|
|
|
|
Related to the third point, remember that an ``sbt.version`` setting in
|
|
``<build-base>/project/build.properties`` determines the version of sbt
|
|
to use in a project. If it is not present, the default version
|
|
associated with the launcher is used. This means that you must set
|
|
``sbt.version=yyyyMMdd-HHmmss`` in an existing
|
|
``<build-base>/project/build.properties``. You can verify the right
|
|
version of sbt is being used to build a project by running
|
|
``sbt-version``.
|
|
|
|
To reduce problems, it is recommended to not use a launcher jar for one
|
|
nightly version to launch a different nightly version of sbt.
