Set release version automatically without prompting users - sbt-release

Question

How can I prevent sbt-release from prompting user for Release version and Next version?

you can use `sbt "release release-version 2.0 next-version 2.1-SNAPSHOT with-defaults"` with `""` after `sbt` — prayagupa, Jul 31 '18 at 04:58

I tried this option but it is still prompting for version. – saniya saifee Feb 22 '16 at 20:20
Thanks ed! I tried this option too but its not working. I get this error: "No versions are set! Was this release part executed before inquireVersions?" – saniya saifee Feb 22 '16 at 22:06
sounds like you haven't defined a version for your project. Have you included a `version.sbt` file with `version in ThisBuild := "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"`? I'd recommend following the docs closely when getting started. – ed. Feb 22 '16 at 22:34
I included this file and have followed the the instruction in the tutorial.I am using activator: activator "release with-defaults"instead of sbt "release with-defaults". Can this be the issue? – saniya saifee Feb 22 '16 at 23:04
perhaps - at this point you'd have to share your project code to allow any further answers – ed. Feb 23 '16 at 16:20
Hi @ed. The issue has been resolved. I was using the latest version of the plugin (1.0.2) and it has some issue with the with-defaults option. https://github.com/sbt/sbt-release/issues/142. I reverted back to old version. Thanks for your help :) – saniya saifee Feb 23 '16 at 16:24
good to hear @saniyasaifee - would it be fair to say that my answer is correct? and if so could you mark it as such? – ed. Feb 23 '16 at 16:29
