Install postgresql with play! framework (Driver not found: [org.postgresql.Driver])

Question

I'm new with the play! framework and postgresql and I'm trying to make it work.

I read a lot of questions asked on stackoverflow and I searched a lot on google but I didn't manage to make it work.

Here is the error that Play! gives me :

Driver not found: [org.postgresql.Driver]

My questions are :

1) Do you know an easy tutorial (i.e. that explains from the beginning) that shows how to configure play! to make postgresql work? I read a lot of thing but didn't find a detailed tutorial.

2) If not, here is my configuration :

I added this in application.conf :

db.default.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.default.url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1/postgres"
db.default.user=postgres
db.default.password=root

And in built.sbt :

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  jdbc,
  anorm,
  cache,
)

What am I doing wrong?

As the documenation says, you have to add the driver to your dependencies:

libraryDependencies += "org.postgresql" % "postgresql" % "42.2.12"

Use the appropriate version of the driver for your Postgres installation.
