PlayRunHook does not work in multi module projects

We need a base play framework projects which contains other play and scala projects as module. Those inner independent projects can have different javascript frameworks and build system like webpack, gulp, etc.

So I tried the PlayRunHook from https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.4.x/SBTCookbook . Single project hooking working as expected. But, unable to get it right on multi module project. Some code samples...

Project Structure

lazy val root = (project in file("."))
        .settings(commonSettings : _*)
        .enablePlugins(PlayScala)

        WebpackHook

But I am getting

I am experimenting play framework, and I am fairly new to this. Thanks in advance

In sbt keep only one build.sbt file and one project directory (with *.sbt and *.scala config files)
Copy WebPack.scala to project directory.
Move your root project to subproject (base).
Rewrite build.sbt

    import play.sbt.PlayImport.PlayKeys.playRunHooks

    name := """root"""

    version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

    val scraperDir = "modules/scraper"

    val sliderDir = "modules/slider"

    lazy val commonSettings = Seq(
        scalaVersion := "2.11.7",
        libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
           jdbc,
           cache,
           ws,
           specs2 % Test
        ),
        resolvers ++= Seq(
           "scalaz-bintray" at "http://dl.bintray.com/scalaz/releases"
        )
    )

    lazy val base = projectName("base","base").settings(
        playRunHooks += WebPack.apply(file(scraperDir))
    )
   .dependsOn(scraper,slider)

    lazy val scraper = projectName("scraper", scraperDir).settings(
       libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
           "com.corundumstudio.socketio" % "netty-socketio" % "1.7.8"
       ),
       resolvers ++= Seq(
          "Sonatype OSS Snapshots" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots")
    )

    lazy val slider = projectName("slider", sliderDir)

    def projectName(name: String, path: String): Project =
     Project(name,file(path))
     .settings(
         commonSettings,
         routesGenerator := InjectedRoutesGenerator
     )
     .enablePlugins(PlayScala)
