Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/spark/sql/SQLContext

Question

I am using IntelliJ 2016.3 version.

import sbt.Keys._
import sbt._

object ApplicationBuild extends Build {

  object Versions {
    val spark = "1.6.3"
  }

  val projectName = "example-spark"

  val common = Seq(
    version := "1.0",
    scalaVersion := "2.11.7"
  )

  val customLibraryDependencies = Seq(
    "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % Versions.spark % "provided",
    "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-sql" % Versions.spark % "provided",
    "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-hive" % Versions.spark % "provided",
    "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-streaming" % Versions.spark % "provided",

    "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-streaming-kafka" % Versions.spark
      exclude("log4j", "log4j")
      exclude("org.spark-project.spark", "unused"),

    "com.typesafe.scala-logging" %% "scala-logging" % "3.1.0",

    "org.slf4j" % "slf4j-api" % "1.7.10",

    "org.slf4j" % "slf4j-log4j12" % "1.7.10"
      exclude("log4j", "log4j"),

    "log4j" % "log4j" % "1.2.17" % "provided",

    "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "2.2.4" % "test"
  )

I have been getting below run time exception., even though i mentioned all the dependencies correctly as shown above.

Investigated more on this web.And found that this is mainly due to in-appropriate entries in buld.sbt or version mismatches.But in my case everything looks good as shown above. Please suggest where did i do wrong here?

Answer 1

I guess this is because you marked your dependencies as "provided", but apparently you (or IDEA) don't provide them.

Try to remove the "provided" option or (my preferred way): move the class with the main method to src/test/scala
