sbt Extension

The following section contains sbt-specific extensions to the build server protocol. This extension allows BSP clients to provide language support for sbt build files.

BSP version​

2.2.0

BuildTargetData kinds​

SbtBuildTarget​

This structure is embedded in the data?: BuildTargetData field, when the dataKind field contains "sbt".

SbtBuildTarget​

SbtBuildTarget is a basic data structure that contains sbt-specific metadata for providing editor support for sbt build files.

For example, say we have a project in /foo/bar defining projects A and B and two meta builds M1 (defined in /foo/bar/project) and M2 (defined in /foo/bar/project/project).

The sbt build target for M1 will have A and B as the defined targets and M2 as the parent. Similarly, the sbt build target for M2 will have M1 as the defined target and no parent.

Clients can use this information to reconstruct the tree of sbt meta builds. The parent information can be defined from children but it's provided by the server to simplify the data processing on the client side.

export interface SbtBuildTarget {
  sbtVersion: string;

  autoImports: string[];

  scalaBuildTarget: ScalaBuildTarget;

  parent?: BuildTargetIdentifier;

  children: BuildTargetIdentifier[];
}
