Could not instantiate SVGImageReader in Scrimage

Today I was testing out the scala library scrimage. I wrote a pretty simple sbt script:

Main.scala:

package ee.test

import java.io.File
import com.sksamuel.scrimage._

object Main {
	def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
	  val image = Image.fromFile(new File("./testimage.jpg"))

	  val scaled50 = TestOps.resize50(image)
	  val scaled300 = TestOps.resize300(image)
	  val crop = TestOps.crop(image, (420, 420), 500, 500)

	  scaled50.output(new File("./50.jpg"))
	  scaled300.output(new File("./300.jpg"))
	  crop.output(new File("./crop.jpg"))
	}
}

TestOps.scala:

package ee.test

import com.sksamuel.scrimage._

object TestOps {
	def resize50(image: Image) : Image = {
		image.fit(50,50)
	}

	def resize300(image: Image) : Image = {
		image.fit(300,300)
	}

	def crop(image: Image, center: (Int, Int), widthOfCrop: Int, heightOfCrop: Int) : Image = {
		/* trim left top right bottom */
		image.trim(
			center._1 - (widthOfCrop/2), 
			center._2 - (heightOfCrop/2), 
			image.width - (center._1 + widthOfCrop/2), 
			image.height - (center._2 + (heightOfCrop/2))
		)
	}
}

And lastly, build.sbt

name := "scrimage-test"

version := "0.1"

scalaVersion := "2.10.4"

libraryDependencies += "com.sksamuel.scrimage" %% "scrimage-core" % "2.0.0"

libraryDependencies += "com.sksamuel.scrimage" %% "scrimage-io" % "2.0.0"

I was testing out my script when all of a sudden a giant error message spewed itself across my console:

While it didn't actually cause any errors in my script and the image operations were successful, I don't like seeing warnings like this when I'm working. So I started looking around. After a little bit of looking I found one of the forementioned errors in this issue, but the answer there didn't make much sense to me. I didn't have any SVG plugins attempting to register to TwelveMonkeys that I knew of. My class path didn't show much to help from first glance:

ls ~/.ivy2/cache/com.twelvemonkeys.imageio/imageio
imageio/          imageio-iff/      imageio-pict/     imageio-thumbsdb/
imageio-batik/    imageio-jpeg/     imageio-pnm/      imageio-tiff/
imageio-bmp/      imageio-metadata/ imageio-psd/      
imageio-core/     imageio-pcx/      imageio-sgi/      
imageio-icns/     imageio-pdf/      imageio-tga/    

Looking at the root cause, the org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderException I looked around some more on the internet and found this useful list of common exceptions from batik. A quick glance at the mvn repositorie's and I updated my build file:

name := "scrimage-test"

version := "0.1"

scalaVersion := "2.10.5"

libraryDependencies += "com.sksamuel.scrimage" %% "scrimage-core" % "2.0.0"

libraryDependencies += "com.sksamuel.scrimage" %% "scrimage-io" % "2.0.0"

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.xmlgraphics" % "batik-codec" % "1.7"

Then the error message disappeared. Note that when I reloaded my sbt console it seems the new dependency issued a warning about updating to scalaVersion 2.10.5 for some reason. I hope this helps anyone else out there who runs into the issue!
