SBT Error: “Failed to construct terminal; falling back to unsupported…”

Question

I have run into an ERROR with SBT today. It can best be shown with the sbt sbt-version command:

Run on 5/29/17:

eric@linux-x2vq:~$ sbt s         


        

Answer 1

I faced this issue when i am using activator which uses sbt internally. I am using Ubuntu and this error was frustrating me. I started facing this issue when i ran

$ activator gen-idea (tool which as per the intellij is legacy)

After this i tried to delete all the cache that this tool generated.

I deleted the .ivy and .sbt directories from my home folder and ran the activator cleanFiles compile command which resolved my issue.
