assembly-merge-strategy issues using sbt-assembly

Question

I am trying to convert a scala project into a deployable fat jar using sbt-assembly. When I run my assembly task in sbt I am getting the following error:

Mer         


        

Answer 1

For the new sbt version (sbt-version :0.13.11), I was getting the error for slf4j; for the time being took the easy way out : Please also check the answer here Scala SBT Assembly cannot merge due to de-duplication error in StaticLoggerBinder.class where sbt-dependency-graph tool is mentioned which is pretty cool to do this manually

assemblyMergeStrategy in assembly <<= (assemblyMergeStrategy in assembly) {
  (old) => {
    case PathList("META-INF", xs @ _*) => MergeStrategy.discard
    case x => MergeStrategy.first
  }
}
