Play-json 2.7.1: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Question

After upgrading play-json to 2.7.0 I've started facing a runtime error:

[info] com.mycompany.controllers.HealthControllerSpec *** ABORTED ***
[info]   java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: play.api.libs.json.JsonConfiguration$.apply$default$2()Lplay/api/libs/json/OptionHandlers;

Could anyone point me to reason?

HealthView:

case class HealthView(app: String, description: String, version: Option[String])

object HealthView extends SnakeCase {

  def apply(config: Configuration): HealthView =
    HealthView(
      config.get[String]("app.name"),
      config.get[String]("app.description"),
      config.getOptional[String]("app.version")
    )

  implicit val format: OFormat[HealthView] = Json.format[HealthView]

}

SnakeCase:

trait SnakeCase {

  implicit val jsonConfig: Aux[Json.MacroOptions] = JsonConfiguration(SnakeCaseNaming)

}

Release with minor version should be binary compatible.

As Travis Brown pointed out you have a version conflict.

As in the Play Project there is a play-json included, you should not have another dependency to play-json.

And if you have (as I have a multi-module project), make sure the the major version fits.

e.g. in plugins.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.7.0")

and as a dependency (not in the play module!):

"com.typesafe.play" %% "play-json" % "2.7.1"
