I would like to specify JVM options when running my app or the tests for the app through SBT. Specifically, I need to be able to give the JVM the -Djava.security.policy paramete
With xsbt, you could run your test in a forked JVM (because of one of the reasons mentioned in "Running Project Code".
If you are using a forked jvm:
specify the configuration to affect only the main or test run tasks:
scala javaOptions in (Test,run) += "-Xmx8G"
You should be able to specify any other options to that JVM through javaOptions
.
The OP David Eagen reports that the following configuration didn't work at first, not because of the sbt options, but because of the path:
lazy val escacheServer =
Project( "escache-server",
file("server"),
settings = buildSettings ++ Seq(resolvers ++=
Seq(scala_tools_snapshots, typesafe_repo),
libraryDependencies ++= escacheServerDeps,
javaOptions in run += "-Djava.security.policy=jini.policy",
fork in run := true
)
).dependsOn(escache) }
It looks like my problem was that
jini.policy
wasn't found in the current directory.
I set the full path and now it runs.
