playframework - sbt compile fails due to missing constructor Jedis(java.net.URI) in Jedis 2.1.0

Question

My simple project has a library dependency on Jedis (the Java Redis library):

name := "fit001"

version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  javaJdbc,
  javaEbean,
  cache,
  "redis.clients" % "jedis" % "2.1.0"
)

play.Project.playJavaSettings

I ran both play update and play dependencies successfully.

Here are the resolved dependencies of your application:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------+

But when I execute sbt compile, it reports the following issue:

[error] /Users/jkwok/Personal/play/fit001/app/com/games/leaderboard/Leaderboard.java:49: cannot find symbol
[error] symbol  : constructor Jedis(java.net.URI)
[error] location: class redis.clients.jedis.Jedis
[error]         this(leaderboardName, pageSize, new Jedis(uri));

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The version of the library you selected doesn't seem to have that constructor. https://github.com/xetorthio/jedis/blob/jedis-2.1.0/src/main/java/redis/clients/jedis/Jedis.java

It appears to have been added in 2.2.0.
