Warning message running Play 2.5.x

Question

Whenever I run my application with activator run I get the following warning:

\"The system cannot find the file BIN_DIRECTORY\\..\\conf\\sbtconf

@ps0604 Firstly, you should follow James Higgins-Thomas's 2nd answer and edit the C:\your\path\to\activator-dist-1.3.10\bin\activator.bat file and add a closing % symbol

set SBT_HOME=%BIN_DIRECTORY%

Secondly, the sbtconfig.txt found in the Scala directory C:\Program Files\sbt\conf\ needs to be copied to C:\your\path\to\activator-dist-1.3.10\conf. The google posting is from 2013 - so I think it's a bit dated

Mind you, I think that it's odd that the SBT_HOME variable would point to a directory in Activator. It might be better to have

set SBT_HOME="c:\Program Files\sbt\"

(I know it's hard coded - not the best)

And then fix

set FN="%SBT_HOME%\conf\sbtconfig.txt"
