Not referencing local repository for dependency

[dudeNumber4]

The doc reads, "By default, jbang uses ~/.m2 as local repository," but I'm not finding that to be the case.

In my java file I have:
//DEPS sap.jdbc4.sqlanywhere:sajdbc4:17.0.11.7173

In my local repository I have:
// C:\Users\me.m2\repository\sap\jdbc4\sqlanywhere\sajdbc4\17.0.11.7173

When I run jbang against my file I get:
[jbang] Resolving dependencies...
[jbang] sap.jdbc4.sqlanywhere:sajdbc4:17.0.11.7173
[jbang] [ERROR] Could not resolve dependencies: Could not find artifact sap.jdbc4.sqlanywhere:sajdbc4:jar:17.0.11.7173 in mavencentral (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/)

What do I need to do to make it reference the local repo?

Are you using latest jbang ?

Your usecase is you have a jar locally built that is not in any of the main repositories setup?

It should work but could be it got lost as I just realize we don't seem to have a test for that specific use case.

A workaround is to do //REPOS local=pathtolocal

But yeah we should consider adding local and central where local is the configured download location.

Today we just add central.

Might need to be a url:

file:///Users/...

Error: Could not find artifact sap.jdbc4.sqlanywhere:sajdbc4:jar:17.0.11.7173 in local (file:///C:\Users\me.m2). Same with forward slashes.

Let me try something simpler. Why can't I simply pass cp/classpath? As I tried here (before I got the memo that stackoverflow isn't used anymore)?

The above case turned out just to be spaces in the class path. Still don't know what the issue with local repository is.

[maxandersen]

cool - glad you got it solved. spaces in paths and terminals is always "fun".

about local repo I'm thinking it could just be that if you only placed the jar inside the repo you don't have the accompanying necessary metadata files that a local maven repo have?

[dudeNumber4]

I pulled the dependency using maven get, so it should be complete. The accompanying pom, sha files are present.
