Play database migration not working when upgrading from 2.3 to 2.7

[Olivier Poppon]

Hello,

(Note : My error is similar to one posted by Toby Hobson in 2016, but it was for Play 2.5 it was not mentionning database migration)

I have migrated a Play 2.3 application to 2.7.

In the process, Play lost the ability to perform database migrations (using the built-in evolution functionnality, not flyway)

To do so, in build.sbt, I added the evolutions dependency, but now I have a No implementation for play.api.db.DBApi was bound error.

Can you see if I am missing something ?

Thanks a lot !

build.sbt -2.3

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(

"org.scalikejdbc"    %% "scalikejdbc"                % "2.4.+",

  "org.scalikejdbc"    %% "scalikejdbc-config"         % "2.4.+",

"org.scalikejdbc"    %% "scalikejdbc-play-plugin"    % "2.3.+"

)

build.sbt - 2.7

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(

guice,

evolutions,

"org.scalikejdbc"    %% "scalikejdbc"                    % "3.3.2",

"org.scalikejdbc"    %% "scalikejdbc-config"            % "3.3.2",

"org.scalikejdbc"    %% "scalikejdbc-play-initializer"         % "2.7.0-scalikejdbc-3.3"

)

application.conf - 2.7

play.modules {

enabled += "scalikejdbc.PlayModule"

disabled += "play.api.db.DBModule"  

}

play.evolutions.db.enabled=true

play.evolutions.db.autoApply=true

Never mind.

It was getting too complicated. I switch to flyway...
