How to set main class in build?


Upon sbt run I have multiple choices of main class.

I would like to set a main class so I've writen in build.sbt:

mainClass := Some("aMainClass")

But sbt fails with:

build.sbt:1: error: not found: value aMainClass

I've also tried with project/Project.scala file :

import sbt._
  class ExecutableProject(info: ProjectInfo) extends DefaultProject(info)  {
  override def mainClass = Some("aMainClass")
}

error :

 project/Project.scala:3: not found: type aMainClass

How to set the main class in a build?


The main Class must be fully qualified with the package:

Compile/mainClass := Some("myPackage.aMainClass")

This will work for run and it will set the Main-Class in the Manifest when using the package task. The main class for these tasks can be set separately as in:

mainClass in (Compile, run) := Some("myPackage.aMainClass")
mainClass in (Compile, packageBin) := Some("myPackage.anotherMainClass")

Note:

mainClass := Some("myPackage.aMainClass")

does nothing. If you put this in your build file you will receive no warning that it does nothing.


As far as I know, sbt expects here a fully qualified class/object name within your project. For example, if your main class is like this:

package prog

object Main extends App {
    // Hic sunt dracones
}

then you would have to give your main class like this:

mainClass := Some("prog.Main")

You get a type error because that type is not simply found.
