Install an older play version

[Stéphane Emery]

Hello,

I want to install Play 2.3 but it automatically updates.

Does anyone know how?

Thanks.

How did you install it? Did you download the binary or are you using a package management tool?

[Stéphane Emery]

I download typesafe activator 1.3.7 from the Play site and I followed the instructions on the site for install. Then I noticed that I had installed the 2.4.6 release then for the version 2.3 I download 1.3.5 typesafe activator which is automatically updates.

Maybe I didn't understand the link between typesafe activator and Play.

Thanks

1.3.7 is the version of activator, not Play. You can specify the version of Play in ../<project_name>/project/plugins.sbt file.  

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.3.0")

I have this error:

• D:\activator-dist-1.3.7\test\build.sbt:18: error: not found: value routesGenerator
• routesGenerator := InjectedRoutesGenerator

Yes, the problem is that the routesGenerator setting in sbt didn't exist in play 2.3.

I'm not sure I would advise using a more recent template and just updating the play version, since a lot of things could break. For example a lot of the built-in dependency injection functionality won't work in 2.3.

There are play 2.3 activator templates such as https://www.lightbend.com/activator/template/hello-play-2_3-scala (though it looks like the site is down now).

To create a project for play 2.3 in recent activator, try the following command in your terminal activator new project-name play-java-2.3

Above command will create a new play project of version 2.3.10

Thanks,
