How to import sbt pack plugin to project

Question

I follow the sbt-pack link to import the plugin. I did:

1. add a line addSbtPlugin("org.xerial.sbt" % "sbt-pack" % "0.7.5") to plugins.sbt under my project root directory.

2. add a line packAutoSettings to the very top of build.sbt file under project root directory

then I run sbt to start the console, it said: error: not found: value packAutoSettings

Also when I run sbt plugins, I don't see the new sbt-pack plugin shown on the list.

I also tried to create a file called pack.sbt and add content like: pack.settings addSbtPlugin("org.xerial.sbt" % "sbt-pack" % "0.7.5") but it doesn't work as well.

You said that it's in your project root directory, if you mean that it's in

{your_project}/plugins.sbt

then that's not the correct place. It needs to be in

{your_project}/project/plugins.sbt
