Trouble with lib

[mgenereu]

The .classpath_nb uses relative paths for the lib folder. This means I have to run '/usr/local/netbeans-8.0.2/bin/netbeans' from the terminal in that folder instead of clicking the icon in Unity. Could the lib references be absolute?

Would you please give me the piece of .classpath_nb which you mentioned? since I have no problem under Fedora, where I run NetBeans via short_cut

[mgenereu]

Here's a line relatively referencing a file from my lib. Actual path /home/mgenereux/Projects/test/lib.

<classpathentry kind="lib" path="./lib/lang-scala_2.10-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" scope="compile"/>

Thanks!

It seems your project depends on the lib jar directly instead of ivy? How did you define the lib dependency in your Build.scala or build.sbt?

[mgenereu]

Neither. SBT includes the lib folder per http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/tutorial/Library-Dependencies.html .

I'm still learning Scala or I'd try to make a pull request. Could you point me in the right direction so I could help?

I took a look at the corresponding code in nbscala:

            case "lib" =>
              val path = (entry \ "@path").text.trim.replace("\\", "/")
              val isTest = (entry \ "@scope").text.trim.equalsIgnoreCase("test")
              val libFile = new File(path) match {
                case x if x.isAbsolute => x
                case _                 => new File(projectDir, path)
              }

              if (libFile.exists) {
                if (isTest) {
                  testCps += libFile
                } else {
                  mainCps += libFile
                }
              }

It seems the relative lib path should have been converted to absolute path with projectDir as parent.

Ah. So the .classpath_nb is correct to specify relative and then the plugin should respect that in turn. I'll create a pull request on the plugin.
