sbt-unused

An SBT plugin to let you know when you mess up

Usage

addSbtPlugin("com.hanhuy.sbt" % "sbt-unused" % "0.2")

Why?

I believe setting scope errors are the number 1 reason why SBT is considered hard to use and mystical (barring the old issues with the various operators having less than obvious meanings)

What it does

Inspect all locally defined settings, that is every setting that is not defined within plugins and sbt.Build (which you should no longer be using!), for usage. If any settings are unused, warnings will be emitted.

If warnings are present, a list of possible alternatives will be presented if a different scoping of the setting is used.

Example output

Given a build.sbt that looks like this:

javacOptions += "-deprecation"

UnusedSampleBuild.settings

name := version.value + scalaVersion.value

And a build.scala that contains the UnusedSampleBuild definition:

import sbt._, Keys._
object UnusedSampleBuild {
    val settings = Seq(
        scalacOptions += "-feature",
        fork in run := true
    )
}

Running this command:

unused-sample $ sbt 'set javacOptions += "uggh"' exit

Produces this output:
