Hey Josh, the Scala IDE team is attending to ScalaDays next week, I hope we find some time to say hello. Also if time works out we would like to report back our current experience with sbt server and talk about future developments and possible improvements

@jsuereth
Yeah, that's be awesome
I'm trying to release 0.3.5 right now :)
But yeah, we shoudl catch up. I'm in amsterdam now, so just ping me when you're in and rested

@all: I am planning to start a online tutorial for scala. I want a feature where the user able to edit & compile code snippets from browser like what a fiddle. I also want the ability for the user to see the compile time output (like what activator does), intermediate code generated etc. Which is a suitable library to do this? I looked at sbt-launcher but I am not sure if that is exactly the tool I want. Any pointers will be helpul
hey @all. I am currently building sbt support for visual studio code and have been playing around with sbtrc. It seems like there is not much activity here anymore. Is this project still alive?

@martinring Well, it's still the best place I think, but the future is largely in @eed3si9n 's hands. We migrated investment of time into modularization over server, and there's agood bit of issues still in scala pickling which make this project interesting

Is there a way of using sbt-remote-control from IntelliJ to kick off a build? I'm using sbt for both scalajs and scala-on-android, and having to alt-tab to my sbt window a million times a day to start a build is getting old...

Not sure intellij uses sbt-remote-control....
Graham Pople
@programmatix
Nah it doesn't, I was wondering if someone had jerry-rigged something. Alternatively, can I use sbt-remote-control from the command line? If so I can make IntelliJ call a shell script or something.
Josh Suereth
@jsuereth
Command line is still pretty flaky
Unfortunately....
Last I hacked, still had some issues where, for some reason, we lost control of jline/input
Probably a concurrency bug, but couldn't isolate it
Graham Pople
@programmatix
Ok, no probs - just thought I'd check where things were. I don't have any time to contribute to the project, sorry, so I'll live with the alt-tabbing.
If I did want to have a play with command line, are there any docs or wiki on this?

You can use sbt from the terminal within IntelliJ which already defaults to your project directory at login. Which is what I currently do. Alternatively there is an SBT plugin that brings up a forced-sbt REPL but it's rather buggy. I'd be interested in having better support for sbt in IntelliJ via sbt-remote-control so if anyone could point me in a direction where I could start to help make that happen it would be awesome.
@sschaef not sure if it happens "soon", but if the reboot effort is bringing concepts over from current server into sbt's codebase but not its implementation

Hey everybody, If I want to put together a quick sbt wrapper (controlled by an application) that compiles, run tests etc what would be the best way to do this?
I.e. is sbt-remote-control a good starting point or should I be looking somewhere else.

@eed3si9n
not sure
if you're not interested in sbt being up and running simultenously there's actually a built-in command called ReadCommand
which is named <
usage:
$ echo "compile" > test.txt
$ sbt < test.txt
Rory Graves
@rorygraves
What I'm aiming for is to have a remote controlled sbt (no prompt) which allows my to clean, compile, test without having to restart sbt.
So spin up some wrapper around sbt and send it commands/handle responses - it doesn't need to be too clever
eugene yokota
@eed3si9n
actually the usage pattern I was thinking about is more like sbt "< 9000", but that's probably internal stuff... so I guess for now, lobby for sbt server
