[scala-metrics 3.0.3] AbstractMethodError with Play 2.2.1

[Timo Hirt]

Hi!

I try to include scala-metrics into a Play! 2.2.1 project. This version of play comes with Akka in version 2.2.0. After adding the the dependeny and without any code modification I get the following Exceptions:

Dependency: libraryDependencies += "nl.grons" %% "metrics-scala" % "3.0.3"

With scala-metrics 3.0.3_a2.1.0 it works very well.

Any suggestions how to fix that or what actually is the problem?

[Erik van Oosten]

This version of play comes with Akka in version 2.2.0.

With scala-metrics 3.0.3_a2.1.0 it works very well.

That is strange. Are you 100% sure your project depends (only) on Akka 2.2.0?
Play probably has some way to see the exact libraries you are using.

Kind regards,
    Erik.

Yes, this is possible in the play console. If I add metrics-scala 3.0.3_a2.1.0 to the dependencies, akka 2.2.0 is included.

|                                                                             | nl.grons:metrics-scala_2.10:3.0.3_a2.1.0  

And if I add metrics-scala 3.0.3 (or 3.0.2 or 3.0.1) to the dependencies, then it takes akka 2.3-M1 for unclear reasons

http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/ScalaAkka

I believe that's because the Play Framework includes a dependency on
Akka 2.2, and you're going to get the latest version included by any
dependency.

Since metrics_scala (without the specific akka version) includes akka
2.3, you'll get that version, because it's newer.

Yes, this is exactly what I think is happening here. But how can I prevent play from including akka 2.3 and instead use the included akka 2.2.

I'm not sure, according to the README page, it should be using akka 2.2
with 3.0.3.

Might file an issue on the githubs.

Hi Timo,

I now see that metrics-scala depends on Akka version [2.2,)
That is definitely wrong. Overriding the version in Play (as you describe in https://github.com/timohirt/metrics-scala/commit/c824f72266e84a4b5242b7bfbbcfde11ba639f09) is therefore the right thing to do (as a quick fix).

The really right thing to do is for me to make a new release that fixes the Akka dependency version.

Thanks for noticing!

Kind regards,
    Erik.
