wrong sbt script sbtopts files proiority #7179
Description
steps
assume that sbt script is located in /opt/sbt/bin, so sbt home is /opt/sbt/
cd any_project_dir
# put default options
echo "-Dsbt.repository.config=/opt/sbt/conf/repositories" >/opt/sbt/conf/sbtopts
# put project options
echo "-Dsbt.repository.config=repositories" >.sbtopts
# run any sbt command in debug mode
sbt -d sbtVersionproblem
this is the actual output
[addSbt] arg = '-debug'
[residual] arg = 'sbtVersion'
[residual] arg = 'sbtVersion'
[sbt_options] declare -a sbt_options=()
[process_args] java_version = '17'
[addMemory] arg = '1024'
[addJava] arg = '-Xms1024m'
[addJava] arg = '-Xmx1024m'
[addJava] arg = '-Xss4M'
[addJava] arg = '-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m'
[addJava] arg = '-Dsbt.script=/opt/sbt/bin/sbt'
downloading sbt launcher 1.8.2
[copyRt] java9_rt = '/root/.sbt/1.0/java9-rt-ext-eclipse_adoptium_17_0_6/rt.jar'
copying runtime jar...
[addJava] arg = '-Dscala.ext.dirs=/root/.sbt/1.0/java9-rt-ext-eclipse_adoptium_17_0_6'

-debug
sbtVersion
so our project options have been put at the beginning of cmd line and hence overridden by the dist default options from /opt/sbt/conf/sbtopts
this happens because options from the sbtopts files are pushed to the beginning of the command line
here is the excerpt form the sbt script:
# Here we pull in the default settings configuration.
[[ -f "$dist_sbt_opts_file" ]] && set -- $(loadConfigFile "$dist_sbt_opts_file") "$@"
# Here we pull in the global settings configuration.
[[ -f "$etc_file" ]] && set -- $(loadConfigFile "$etc_file") "$@"
# Pull in the project-level config file, if it exists.
[[ -f "$sbt_opts_file" ]] && set -- $(loadConfigFile "$sbt_opts_file") "$@"expectation
priority of the files must be exactly inverse (from higher to lower) :
- project
.sbtopts - system global settings
/etc/sbt/sbtopts - dist defafult settings
${sbt_home}/conf/sbtopts
notes
fix is trivial: we just need to reorder the above code like that:
# Pull in the project-level config file, if it exists.
[[ -f "$sbt_opts_file" ]] && set -- $(loadConfigFile "$sbt_opts_file") "$@"
# Here we pull in the global settings configuration.
[[ -f "$etc_file" ]] && set -- $(loadConfigFile "$etc_file") "$@"
# Here we pull in the default settings configuration.
[[ -f "$dist_sbt_opts_file" ]] && set -- $(loadConfigFile "$dist_sbt_opts_file") "$@"
