Create a custom SBT task to print the version

[BenFradet]

would remove the need for this:

https://github.com/snowplow/scala-weather/blob/bfc3e3be447dbe0df9d167d402f8957f5bb34536/.travis/deploy.sh#L17

What is the problem with the line? If you want to get rid of perl you could use

sbt -no-colors 'inspect actual version' | grep Setting | cut -d '=' -f2

[BenFradet]

I think I remember seeing a custom sbt task in another project that would just do this and that would let us do something like:

project_version=$(sbt myPrintVersion)

[oschrenk]

You have to wait for the next sbt release then. They will introduce print which prints to stdout instead of using the logger (which you have to parse)

See https://github.com/sbt/sbt/pull/4341

[oschrenk]

Then you should be able to do sbt --error 'print version'.
