A binding to play.api.db.DBApi was already configured, evolutions and injector error with play-slick

Question

I want to introduce slick to my play project, so I add the following dependencies to build.sbt:

\"com.typesafe.play\"          %% \"play-slick\"                      


        

Answer 1

If you are like me, you have something like this in your build.sbt

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  jdbc,
  cache,
  ws,
  specs2 % Test,
  "mysql" % "mysql-connector-java" % "5.1.37",
  "com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick" % "1.1.1",
  "com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick-evolutions" % "1.1.1"
)

remove jdbc

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  //jdbc, //<<---- this one here
  cache,

Answer 2

You have probably added dependency to jdbc which doesn't make sense if you use slick for it. Remove it and it will work.
