Empty sbt.quickfix file generated despite error reported by sbt

[ghost]

Hi,

I like the idea of this plugin very much, but haven't managed to get it to work. I followed the instructions and introduced an error into a scala file. I could see that the $project/target/quickfix/sbt.quickfix file was generated, but it was empty despite sbt telling me very clearly that I have an error in the file.

Some system information (please tell me if you need to know anything else):

• sbt 0.13.12
• java 1.8.0_102 (oracle)
• vim 8.0 with +clientserver
• sbt-plugin added to global sbt plugin conf
• sbt installVimPlugin executed successfully

I had the same problem, I just cloned the repository and published it locally (master). After that it worked perfectly.

I have a similar problem. I followed the instructions
sbt compile does not even generate a quick fix file

sbt test generates an empty quick fix file

I do not know how to publish a repository locally, sounds time consuming.

I had similar issues getting sbt-quickfix to work.

The following helped me getting it to work:

Fixing Sbt-quickfix:

Like @AitorATuin explained clone the repo and publish it locally: git clone https://github.com/dscleaver/sbt-quickfix.git

because I want to make sure this local version gets picked up, I had to update the version number.

In sbt-quickfix/build.sbt uncomment the line with the version number: version := "0.4.1-LOCAL"

and in ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/plugins.sbt use this new version number: addSbtPlugin("com.dscleaver.sbt" % "sbt-quickfix" % "0.4.2-LOCAL")

now to publish it locally, run the following command inside of the sbt-quickfix dir sbt publishLocal

Fixing vim servername: I also got errors along the lines of E247: no registered server named "GVIM": Send failed.

This is because I am not using gvim and gvim sets the servername to 'gvim' which allows all of this to work. I use vim from the terminal which does not set this servername. I solved this by adding this to my .bashrc:

alias vim='vim --servername gvim' (see: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Enable_servername_capability_in_vim/xterm)

Neither fixes are very elegant hopefully @dscleaver could atleast fix the first problem. The second problem seems to be 'by design' on vim's end.

I see this too. I'm not sold this plugin actually works.
