Since the introduction of auto plugins in 0.13.5, adding explicit .sbt files for plugins (except for specific cases where the plugin does not implement auto-plugin trait) is not recommended per sbt documentation.

Add the addSbtPlugin("com.eed3si8n" % "sbt-assembly" % "0.13.0") back to plugins.sbt under project directory and remove assembly.sbt. if you still see the error, explicitly enable the plugin in the build.sbt:

lazy val root = (project in file(".")).
  settings(commonSettings: _*).
  settings(
    name := "test",
  ).
  enablePlugins(AssemblyPlugin)
