sbt 0.13.5 "URI has an authority component" errors whilst resolving dependencies for a Play 2.3.0 project

Question

After upgrading my project to Play Framework 2.3.0 (and as a result sbt 0.13.5) I have encountered multiple "URI has an authority component" errors when sbt attempts to resolve dependencies for the first time on a fresh Debian install. For example: ``` [error] (*:update) sbt.ResolveException: unresolved dependency: org.slf4j#slf4j-api;1.7.6: several problems occurred while resolving dependency: org.slf4j#slf4j-api;1.7.6 {compile=[compile(*), master(*)], runtime=[runtime(*)]}: [error] several problems occurred while resolving dependency: org.slf4j#slf4j-parent;1.7.6 {}: [error] URI has an authority component [error] URI has an authority component [error] URI has an authority component [error] URI has an authority component [error] URI has an authority component at sbt.IvyActions$.sbt$IvyActions$$resolve(IvyActions.scala:217) at sbt.IvyActions$$anonfun$update$1.apply(IvyActions.scala:126) at sbt.IvyActions$$anonfun$update$1.apply(IvyActions.scala:125) at sbt.IvySbt$Module$$anonfun$withM…

Accepted Answer

In my case the issue was related to one of the resolvers configured:

```
  val projectResolvers = Seq[Resolver](
    "Local Maven Repository" at "file://"+Path.userHome.asFile.toURI.toURL+".m2/repository/",
    ...
  )
```

After looking at the details of last command (failing with the error) I saw the following in the resolvers list:

```
[debug]     Local Maven Repository: file://file:/Users/aldo/.m2/repository
```

Removing the hardcoded 'file://' resolved the issue:

```
  val projectResolvers = Seq[Resolver](
    "Local Maven Repository" at ""+Path.userHome.asFile.toURI.toURL+".m2/repository/",
    ...
  )
```
