Play Framework Routes not working

Question

I am just trying to follow along with the ZenTasks tutorial (http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.1.0/JavaGuide4) for the Play Framework. I can't seem to even get the Login page to work however.

I am running this project with the play ~run command. When navigating to http://localhost:9000/login the error is

Action not found For request 'GET /login'
These routes have been tried, in this order:
1 GET/controllers.Application.index()
2 GET/assets/$file<.+>controllers.Assets.at(path:String = "/public", file:String)`

My routes file looks like

# Routes
# This file defines all application routes (Higher priority routes first)
# ~~~~

# Home page
GET     /                           controllers.Application.index()

# User athentication
GET     /login                      controllers.Application.login()
POST    /login                      controllers.Application.authenticate()
GET     /logout                     controllers.Application.logout()

# Map static resources from the /public folder to the /assets URL path
GET     /assets/*file               controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)

and the Application.login, authenticate, and logout functions all compile properly. Am I missing something incredibly easy here, because I can't tell what is going wrong?

Solution 1

Looks like the routes file wasn't compiled properly. probably, you should do a clean in the play console and try again

$ play clean-all

Solution 2

@DiAlex

Just in case play clean-all doesn't work, you can try to

$ clean 

then

$ compile

within the play console.

However, I think both of them do the same thing.

Solution 3

If you are using play framework via Activator you can simply do the follow steps:

1. sbt clean
2. activator run

If you have activator, you can do activator clean

No, Compile does additional works in the comparison with clean command.
