sbt throws [error] Server access Error: Connection refused (Connection refused) url=http://repo.typesafe.com/

Question

• I cleaned my ~/.ivy2/cache directory.
• My project/plugins.sbt file :

$ cat project/plugins.sbt
// Comment to get more information during initialization
logLevel := Level.Warn
// The Typesafe repository
resolvers += "Local Maven Repository" at "file:///"+Path.userHome.absolutePath+"/.m2/repository"
resolvers += "Typesafe repository" at "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/"
resolvers += "sonatype-releases" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/"
// Use the Play sbt plugin for Play projects
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.3.10")
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-scalariform" % "1.2.0")
addSbtPlugin("org.scalastyle" %% "scalastyle-sbt-plugin" % "0.3.2")

• My My ~/.sbt/repositories file :

$ cat ~/.sbt/repositories
[repositories]

  activator-launcher-local: file://${activator.local.repository-${activator.home-${user.home}/.activator}/repository}, [organization]/[module]/(scala_[scalaVersion]/)(sbt_[sbtVersion]/)[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]

Basically, I want to know from where is it getting the http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/ Also, I have not changed configurations of my project, so why is this failing suddenly.

Answer 1

Able to resolve after adding additional type safe https resolver to the build.sbt. By default sbt was picking the http one. If you already have resolver configured (like I have maven) the new line is important or else you can use Seq construct)

resolvers += "Maven Central Server" at "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2"

resolvers += "Typesafe Server" at "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases"

Answer 2

I had my resolvers set to "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/" and changing the resolver to using https made it work.

Answer 3

Need to upgrade the sbt.version as mentioned in the link below, if the issue still persists

In build.properties file

sbt.version=0.13.18
