Support for Play 2.7

[apflieger]

Using

play {
    platform {
        playVersion = '2.7.0'
    }
}

I get Not a supported Play version: 2.7.0. This plugin is compatible with: [PLAY_2_3_X, PLAY_2_4_X, PLAY_2_5_X, PLAY_2_6_X].

The currently supported Play versions are documented in the user guide. Play 2.7 is not supported yet. I am hoping that we can add support for newer Play versions as soon as we have more adopters for this plugin.

[apflieger]

To be sure, there's no way to build Play 2.7 on gradle right now, right? I tried the legacy plugin which fails with the same error

[bmuschko]

That's correct. The old and the new plugin have almost identical feature sets at the moment. The main difference is:

• old plugin: uses the software model and is included in the Gradle distribution
• new plugin: does not use the software model and is distributed via the Gradle plugin portal

Additionally, you might want to check out this migration portion of the guide.

Any news on this issue?

( 2.8.0 is already around the corner https://github.com/playframework/playframework/releases/tag/2.8.0-M3 )

Thank you.

@big-guy Can you comment on the plans for this?

Hi all. Any updates on this item? @big-guy / @bmuschko

latest snapshot works for me

[aadrian]

@wooyea does it also work with 2.8.0 ?

Probably not. Supported version prefix was hardcoded.

[aadrian]

@wooyea thanks for the info.

It's a pity since Play 2.8 has just been released :( .

Do you have any forecast for release date?
We are locked in version 2.6. we need to upgrade. if we don't have this we have to use SBT.

I think it's the other way around: you'll get more adopters as soon as the plugin supports the newest play versions. (I typically would like to test it with the newest play version before even thinking of using it anywhere.)

Vicious circle, this?

[apflieger]

Here I even considered downgrading Play to use this plugin

[ricardo-s-ferreira]

Hi, I just need the current version to be released. I couldn't be locked in 2.6. So if you have a target date I could evaluate if not I've to find alternatives. Arnaud Pflieger <[email protected]> escreveu no dia quarta, 5/02/2020 à(s) 07:51:

Given that's been more than a year since Play 2.7.0 was first released, and now there's even 2.8 available, would it be possible to update the plugin to support 2.7?

[ricardo-s-ferreira]

No one will adopters this since doesn't support 2.8. who will start using this with play 2.5, or even 2.6 not fully supported?
I just remove from our project.
RIP.

I sent a PR for Play 2.8 support: #133

[devYonz]

I have spent the majority of the last 3 hours trying to keep Gradle, how is this still not solved? We need:

• Code samples: Play 2.8 + Gradle plugin (in the current non-software model)
• Latest Gradle v7 is coming + Gradle plugin + Java 14 should all play nice together until play framework starts supporting java 14
  It is only my spite for sbt that is keeping me here, even the play docs are starting to only use sbt.

same here.

@bmuschko / @big-guy any idea if support for 2.7 will ever land? At some point, we devs would like to have a definitive [yes, no] answer so that we can proper decisions on the projects we will start

[JLLeitschuh]

I'm happy to merge changes once #136 is resolved. Currently, I can't really trust the CI to verify if a change will break anything. Once I have confidence in CI, I'll be more confident merging external PRs.

[bmuschko]

@polentino Unfortunately, I am not involved in the project anymore. Cheers!

[JLLeitschuh]

Support is requested on #136. If you'd like to see this issue resolved, please do help out with resolving #136.

[cstroe]
