I am getting the following error when attempting to run sbt run to run my Scala code:
insecure HTTP request is unsupported 'http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases'; switch to HTTPS or opt-in as ("typesafe-releases" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases").withAllowInsecureProtocol(true), or by using allowInsecureProtocol in repositories file
This is strange because it was working perfectly fine last week and I have changed nothing in the code. I have tried adding ("typesafe-releases" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases").withAllowInsecureProtocol(true) in my build.sbt file and resolver file, installing Java11, deleting my project folder, and completely reclone my code from the repository but nothing is working. I am using Visual Studios but have also tried on IntelliJ and get the same error.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I have changed nothing and now suddenly my code doesn't compile anymore. Further details:
sbt.version = 1.4.0
Scala code runner version 2.12.10
My current built.sbt (please note that I did not have the resolve part added before, when my code was working fine. It was added as an attempt to resolve the issue but did not work):
scalaVersion := "2.12.10"
name := "name"
organization := "org"
version := "1.0"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.scala-lang.modules" %% "scala-parser-combinators" % "1.1.2",
"org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % "3.0.1",
"org.apache.spark" %% "spark-sql" % "3.0.1",
"org.reactivemongo" %% "reactivemongo-bson-api" % "0.20.11",
"org.mongodb.spark" %% "mongo-spark-connector" % "3.0.0",
"com.ibm.db2.jcc" % "db2jcc" % "db2jcc4"
)
resolvers += Resolver.typesafeRepo("releases")
EDIT: I've discovered that this error occurs regardless of project, and even occurs when I simply run sbt by itself.
Did you try deleting ~/.sbt folder? I had a repositories file in this folder that had HTTP references to the typesafe repo and deleting this folder resolved those sbt HTTP errors.
For anyone else using an Intellij setup with this issue, see below
Environment:
The issue seems to be a clash between the Intellij IDE SBT plugin ( still on 1.3.2 ) and what seems to be a silent update of sbt.
Running sbt ( version 1.4.3 ) in a terminal instead of using the built in plugin fixed the issue.
As mentioned in repo.typesafe.com, you can add to your sbt:
Resolver.typesafeIvyRepo("releases")
or:
Resolver.typesafeRepo("releases")
Depends whether you are using Ivy or not.
The reason to this warning is the fact that you are using http and not https. From sbt 1.4.0 release notes:
HTTP resolvers require explicit opt-in using .withAllowInsecureProtocol(true)
This is the PR that added it.
