Heroku sbt Plugin

This plugin is used to deploy Scala and Play applications directly to Heroku without pushing to a Git repository. This is can be useful when deploying from a CI server.

Using the Plugin

Add the following to your project/plugins.sbt file:

resolvers += Resolver.url("heroku-sbt-plugin-releases",
  url("http://dl.bintray.com/heroku/sbt-plugins/"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)

addSbtPlugin("com.heroku" % "sbt-heroku" % "0.1.1")

If you're not using Play, then you'll also need to add the sbt-native-packager plugin.

Next, add something like this to your build.sbt

herokuAppName in Compile := "your-heroku-app-name"

Now, if you have the Heroku Toolbelt installed, run:

$ sbt stage deployHeroku

If you do not have the toolbelt installed, then run:

$ HEROKU_API_KEY="xxx-xxx-xxxx" sbt stage deployHeroku

And replace "xxx-xxx-xxxx" with the value of your Heroku API token.

Requirements

• It is required that you use sbt 0.13.5 or greater.

• If using Java 1.6 you must have a tar command available on your system.

• This plugin has not been tested with Play 2.0 or 2.1.

Configuring the Plugin

You may set the desired JDK version like so:

herokuJdkVersion in Compile := "1.7"

Valid values are 1.6, 1.7, and 1.8. The default is 1.7

You can set configuration variables like so:

herokuConfigVars in Compile := Map(
  "MY_VAR" -> "some value",
  "JAVA_OPTS" -> "-Xmx384m -Xss512k -XX:+UseCompressedOops"
)

Any variable defined in herokuConfigVars will override defaults.

You may set process types (similar to a Procfile) with herokuProcessTypes:

herokuProcessTypes in Compile := Map(
  "web" -> "target/universal/stage/bin/my-app -Dhttp.port=$PORT",
  "worker" -> "java -jar target/universal/stage/lib/my-worker.jar"
)

See the src/sbt-test directory for examples.

Hacking

In order to run the test suite, you must have the Heroku Toolbelt installed. Then run:

$ sbt scripted
