Authentication to private repository using SBT credentials not working

I have SBT credentials installed in ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/credentials.sbt in the form:

credentials += Credentials("Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager",
                           "nexus.example.com",
                           "user",
                           "pass")

SBT resolves private artifacts from my company’s Nexus just fine. I switched to Coursier (added addSbtPlugin("io.get-coursier" % "sbt-coursier" % "1.0.0-M14") to my plugin definitions), and I added the line

coursierUseSbtCredentials := true

as suggested by the documentation this should use the SBT credentials, but when resolving I always get

[error]     unauthorized: https://nexus.example.com....

Is there something I’m missing? Thanks

I ended up not using coursierUseSbtCredentials. Instead I set credentials to every resolver via the coursierCredentials key.

Ran into the same issue and tried using coursierUseSbtCredentials but that ended up with a bunch of coursier.ResolutionException: 6 locked exceptions.

So I ended up specifying credentials specifically for coursier in my ~/.sbt/0.13/global.sbt like so:

coursier.Keys.coursierCredentials ++= Seq(
  "<resolverName>" -> coursier.Credentials.Direct("<username>", "<password>")
).toMap

You can list out all the names of the resolvers used in your build by running:

➜ sbt
> consoleProject
scala> resolvers.eval.map(_.name)
