Working with dependencies in Scala

sbt

Generating scala-dependency-tree.txt or sbt-dependency-tree.txt files

  1. Setting the width of the dependency graph

    To generate a full dependency graph, add the following line to the build.sbt file:

    ThisBuild / asciiGraphWidth := 999999999

    Alternatively, you can set the asciiGraphWidth value globally.

  2. Generating dependency tree

    Run the following command to generate dependency tree:

    sbt clean compile "dependencyTree::toFile target/tree.txt"

    Make sure to save the file with the name scala-dependency-tree.txt or sbt-dependency-tree.txt, as these are the only names supported for correct parsing.

  3. Scanning the generated file

    The console agent option --sbt-resolve in the scan command is not needed in this case, as it scans the already generated tree with the full dependency structure.
