Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

steps

  1. :q or :quit

expectation

It should exit sbt, like we already can in Scala REPL and editors.

notes

:q is not a valid command in sbt 1.1 or 0.13, so there should be no ambiguity.

That’d be lovely, I even have :q and :wq set up in my shell for convenience rather than “exit” 😃

Personally I don’t get the point. The REPL needs : to escape commands from being interpreted. SBT doesn’t. (The REPL could do what ammonite does and have scala functions imported that interact with the REPL itself, but it doesn’t.)

Are we going to advocate that bash also support :q?
