Setting `compiler sbt` stops the quick fix window from opening

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but I have had an issue today where I have not been able to read in an error file into the quick fix menu when a Scala file is open in a buffer. I have tracked it down to the line compiler sbt in ftplugin/scala.vim, when I comment that line out the quickfix window then works as expected. I am happy to leave it commented out, but I was wondering if anyone would know why this issue would occur?

Compiler scripts often set the errorformat. If that doesn't match your error file, that can be an issue. However, it is usually a local option, so it shouldn't affect other buffers (unless set globally)

Ok that makes sense. I can just leave it commented out for now so it doesn't interfere with my errorformat. Thanks for the reply
