using external ivy for sbt build

Question

At my work place we are starting to use Scala. For dependencies and building we use an ivy.xml file. I am struggling to get the build.sbt to work with the ivy.xml.

https://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Library-Management.html#External+Maven+or+Ivy I checked out this guide, but the example code did not work. [below is what I have in my build.sbt]

externalIvyFile(Def.setting(baseDirectory.value / "ivy.xml"))
classpathConfiguration in Compile := Compile
classpathConfiguration in Test := Test
classpathConfiguration in Runtime := Runtime

[error] java.lang.RuntimeException: unrecognized module settings: IvyFileConfiguration(false, Some(ScalaModuleInfo(2.12.8, 2.12, Vector(), true, false, true, org.scala-lang, Vector(scala-library, scala-compiler, scala-reflect, scala-actors, scalap))), /work/scalawork/local.study.exchanger/ivy.xml, true)

Above is the error code I am getting back. sbt-1.2.8 scala-2.12.8 ivy-2.0

Have you declared externalIvySettings() at the top of your build.sbt?

externalIvySettings()
externalIvyFile(Def.setting(baseDirectory.value / "ivy.xml"))
classpathConfiguration in Compile := Compile
classpathConfiguration in Test := Test
classpathConfiguration in Runtime := Runtime
