I'm trying to deploy a Scala Play project on Heroku via Heroku CLI.
It works well, but when the server tries to start it crashes with the following error:

2021-08-17T16:48:15.071607+00:00 app[web.1]: Oops, cannot start the server.The projet parameters are:
The project is based on an IntelliJ Ultimate Template.
The Heroku Procfile looks like this:
web: target/universal/stage/bin/bionplaydatawarehouse -Dhttp.port=${PORT}
The system.properties file looks like this to overwrite the default Java 8 Version:
java.runtime.version=11
When I change the Java Version the compilation crashes with a Class Cast Exception.
It seems that the Guice DI is the problem or some configuration parameter is missing for the Heroku production invironment because locally the projects works well.
I got it!
You need to add the -Dplay.http.secret.key argument which value must match your appliaction secret.
Unfortunately this was not part auf the documetation
web: target/universal/stage/bin/myProject -Dhttp.port=${PORT} -Dplay.http.secret.key='mySecret'
