SBT SFTP resolver not trying hard enough - sbt

Question

I am converting our mixed build environment into an sbt based ecosystem. And I am at a bit of a road block with this issue.
I have deployed a library to a remote repository via sftp but when I try to load it as a dependency I have an issue.
In build.sbt I have:
resolvers += {
val privateKeyFile = new java.io.File(sys.env("HOME") + "/.ssh/id_rsa")
Resolver.sftp("MY REPO", "aHost", "/repoBase/") as ("aUser", privateKeyFile)
}
update in interactive shows:
[info] Resolving com.test.it.out#myLib_2.11;1.0 ...
[warn] module not found: com.test.it.out#myLib_2.11;1.0
[warn] ==== local: tried

[info] Resolving jline#jline;2.12 ...
[warn] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[warn] :: UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES ::
[warn] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It never lists any path information for MY REPO.
I have tried multiple ways to configure the resolver, even users/hosts that should fail and the results don't change.
show resolvers
[info] List(SftpRepository(MY REPO,SshConnection(Some(KeyFileAuthentication(aUser,/home/aUser/.ssh/id_rsa,None)),Some(aHost),None),Patterns(ivyPatterns=List(), artifactPatterns=List(/repoBase/[organisation]/module(_[sbtVersion])/[revision]/[artifact]-revision.[ext]), isMavenCompatible=true, descriptorOptional=false, skipConsistencyCheck=false)))
I did see someone had the same issue and said switching from SSH to SFTP fixed it, in 12.?. I am using 13.7
I have come to the end of the internet on this one, please extends it a bit.
Thanks!

Answer 1

I had the similar issue, it was not listing any urls that it tried. I added the same Pattern that I was using while publishing, and it fixed the problem. Also, I have put my resolver as the first one in the order.
resolvers in ThisBuild := (Resolver.sftp("MY Repo", "example.com", 22, "sbt-repos/releases")(Patterns("[organisation]/[module](_[scalaVersion])(_[sbtVersion])/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]"))) +: resolvers.value
I am using 0.13.9. I searched a lot for this one and finally figured it out after so many trials. Hope this will help somebody.

Answer 2

val sftpRes = {
val privateKeyFile = new java.io.File(sys.env("HOME") + "/.ssh/id_rsa")
Resolver.sftp("REPO", "gitHost", "/path/to/data/")(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns) as ("user", privateKeyFile)
}
publishMavenStyle := false
publishTo := Some(sftpRes)
Using SBT 1.2.4
In the end this is what I got to work. I tried Resolver.mavenStylePatterns, but in that case as with others SBT never really tries to find files on the resolver.
Using Ivy patterns on the publish and resolve worked for me.
