Where can I set proxy for SBT in Intellij IDEA?

Question

I am using Intellij IDEA 14.1.3 edition and have installed Scala plugin. When creating SBT project, it reports the following error:

Error:Error while importing SBT project:
...
        ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

        :: org.fusesource.jansi#jansi;1.11: not found

Error: Could not retrieve jansi 1.11

See complete log in C:\Users\xiaona\.IdeaIC14\system\log\sbt.last.log

After referring this post, I see the root cause should be that I use proxy to connect internet.

But in SBT setting screen:

I can't find a place to set proxy. Where can I set proxy for SBT in Intellij IDEA?

Add -Dhttp.proxyHost=<proxy_server> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<proxy_port> to VM parameters

Read documentation for more info

I actually had to add `https.proxyHost` `https.proxyPort` `https.proxyUser` and `https.proxyPassword` as well – Michael Lang Jun 16 '15 at 09:31
@Sergey Lagutin: It seems "Global SBT settings" is no use, right? – Nan Xiao Jun 16 '15 at 09:37

Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> SBT -> Global SBT settings -> JVM Options -> VM parameters – Michael Lang Jun 16 '15 at 09:44

does this mean that user and pwd should be specified and left in clear there?! – mdm Jun 25 '15 at 14:59
@mdm yes, it's terrible. possible way to solve it is use system variables or another config file – Sergii Lagutin Jun 25 '15 at 21:07
@SergeyLagutin can you please point to documentation where these parameters are mentioned? – Haspemulator Jan 10 '17 at 14:49
@Haspemulator check the documentation. The link's added. – Sergii Lagutin Jan 11 '17 at 13:11

Basically there are three ways of setting the proxy. Each of them seems to affect a different part of the IDE.

For all following three methods I recommend setting both, http and https, since most connections to repos are established using https nowadays:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=yourProxyAdress 
-Dhttp.proxyPort=yourPort 
-Dhttp.proxyUser=yourUsername 
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=yourPassword 
-Dhttps.proxyHost=yourProxyAdress
-Dhttps.proxyPort=yourPort 
-Dhttps.proxyUser=yourUsername 
-Dhttps.proxyPassword=yourPassword

1. Build Tools

Setting the proxy under "Build, Execution, Deployment" > "Build Tools" > "SBT" > "VM parameters" affects the SBT process that is executed after editing the build.sbt file and refreshing the latter. Also, this is used for indexing (and therefore auto completion). This setting will also affect the download of SBT itself in the version you selected during project setup.

2. Other Settings

Aditionally, I used the setting under "Other Settings" > "SBT" > "VM parameters"

3. Setting the proxy globally

Another way would be to set the proxy settings globally with your JAVA_OPTS as described here.

There is no 2) (Other Settings) in 2018 version of InteliJ or am I missing something? — Joe, Apr 30 '18 at 19:10
For those who use newer version, just find the sbt settings and change the VM parameters. (E.g. "Build, Execution, Deployment" -> "Build Tools" -> "sbt" — Zhigong Li, Sep 28 '22 at 15:08

Add parameter VM

-Dhttps.proxyPort=portUse 
-Dhttps.proxyUser=proxyName 
-Dhttps.proxyPassword=proxyPaword

I have a proxy but it doesn't need any username/password. Still do we need to set it? – Krupal Ghorpade Sep 28 '22 at 11:50

In my situation I have tried all above solutions, but they did not work.

In the end I have configured HTTP proxy for the whole IntellJ, and that have resolved my issues.

Settings > Appearance & Behaviour > System Settings > Http Proxy

Setting it here didn't work for me - it still gives me a 'connection timed out' error. – covfefe May 02 '18 at 21:48

If you are running a sbt-based scala project you may need to add the proxy in the run configuration of the project: Run -> Edit configurations...->->VM parameters

I was seeing this same error message and tried all the suggestions mentioned in multiple (related) threads. I was able to finally resolve the problem by setting up the HTTP Proxy directly in IntelliJ. Here's what my settings look like (Note: specify your network username and password in the corresponding boxes):-

It seemed that in my case, something was picking up the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy. Correctly setting (or in my case, unsetting, as I did not wish to use a proxy) these variables solved the proxy errors I was getting.
