Why do I get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when I trying to run this code?

Question

I want to map over the characters in a string, but I\'m getting runtime errors.

Example:

object Hello {
    def hello(c: Char) {
        print(c)
    }

         


        

Answer 1

I think that your problem is that scala library is not in your runtime classpath. you must manually add manually.

If you are using tools like maven or sbt, maybe the dependency is marked as provided instead compiled.

If you are not using these tools, add "scala-library.jar" to your library directory

Answer 2

Also seeing this problem because I don't have the right version of Scala. For those who are using IntelliJ, you can add/change the scala SDK under File > Project Structures > Global Libraries:

If you are compiling and running your project in command line, make sure you have the right version of Scala installed too. e.g.:

Check the Scala version installed:

$ scala -version
Scala code runner version 2.11.8 -- Copyright 2002-2016, LAMP/EPFL

Check the build.sbt to have the right version of Scala:

scalaVersion := "2.11.8"
