waiting for lock on .ivy2

Question

I am using activator for cloning a project.

I made eclipse.sbt to prepare project to import to Eclipse. after typing activator in cmd I face waiting for lock on C:\Users\Name\.ivy2\.sbt.ivy.lock to be available...

I guess it is locking because of eclipse.sbt, if it is so how can I prevent it?

Answer 1

Please check whether your IDE is downloading something, especially when you are running it your first time, it may take a while.

After the download is finished, you are able to run new command again!

Also, make sure you are not running 2 or more IDE or something, if that would not work, save your work and delete the lock file.
