As you can see I'm using Windows any ideas what is cause of this one ? I see that Scala have some problem with path but I don't know why

Answer 1

Sometimes you cannot downgrade the plugin version because it requires that you also downgrade your IDE version. So a solution I found is that you have to edit your build.sbt file, and replace the following line:

"Local Maven Repository" at "file:///"+Path.userHome.absolutePath+"/.m2/repository",

with a hard-coded path, absolutePath property uses Windows' path separator and the parser expects *nix separator. So replace it with this:

"Local Maven Repository" at "file:///C:/path/to/.m2/repository",//+Path.userHome.absolutePath+"/.m2/repository",

And it should work.

Answer 2

I've the same problem, rollback to 2016.3.1 version of scala plugin and the problem goes away.

Download 2016.3.1 version and install it from disk.

Here the link for download.
