Since SBT 1.3.0, Coursier is the default resolver engine, therefore we removed the Coursier SBT plugin from the dependencies.
In the Coursier-plugin times, we used COURSIER_TTL="5 min" to control how frequently SNAPSHOT version should be fetched automatically, even, when sbt ~test:compile is used during development.
For the dependency SNAPSHOT project, here is the output of:
sbt:hub> show isSnapshot

There is a CHECKED file under hub\common_2.12\0.5.0-SNAPSHOT in local .coursier directory and that would not update while code is changing in another project that depends on hub, while using ~test:compile.
COURSIER_TTL has not effect in 1.3.8. Is there any other way to setup SBT to frequently check for new SNAPSHOT versions?
