Question

When I compile Scala code, by running sbt compile, SBT says:

$ sbt compile
...
[warn] there were 5 deprecation warnings; re-run with -deprecation for details
...

How do I do that? (From within SBT?)

Answer 1

sbt shell

While in sbt shell (if you don’t want to change your build.sbt):

$ sbt
> set ThisBuild/scalacOptions ++= Seq("-unchecked", "-deprecation")
> compile
> exit

Due to in ThisBuild, set applies the settings to all sub-projects, as well.

Command Line

You could also run the above as a single command on command line.

sbt '; set ThisBuild/scalacOptions ++= Seq("-unchecked", "-deprecation") ; compile' 

The trick is to use ; (semicolons) to separate commands and ' (ticks) to include all ;-separated commands as a single argument to sbt.

sbt < 1.x

Instead of ThisBuild/scalacOptions use scalacOptions in ThisBuild
