No qualifying bean found for `MessagesApi`

Question

I've injected the messagesApi into my controller as documented (Play 2.4.x):

@Scope(value = "singleton")
@Component
class MyController @Inject()(val messagesApi: MessagesApi) extends Controller with I18nSupport

But on boot getting:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [play.api.i18n.MessagesApi] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {}

Answer 1

You need to extend your controller with either BaseController or InjectedController; so your code will be:

class MyController @Inject()(val messagesApi: MessagesApi) extends InjectedController with I18nSupport{}

For more details you can look at the Play's documents.
