Play 2.4 - Slick 3.0.0 - DELETE not working

Question

I am trying to upgrade to Slick 3.0.0 and Play 2.4 (Scala), but deleting rows is not working. In the code below, everything works: querying all rows, inserting and updating - except delete.

package dao

import scala.concurrent.Future
import models._
import models.Tables._
import play.api.Play
import play.api.db.slick.DatabaseConfigProvider
import play.api.db.slick.HasDatabaseConfig
import play.api.libs.concurrent.Execution.Implicits.defaultContext
import slick.driver.JdbcProfile

class UserDAO extends HasDatabaseConfig[JdbcProfile] {
  protected val dbConfig =  DatabaseConfigProvider.get[JdbcProfile](Play.current)

  import driver.api._

  def all(): Future[List[UserRow]] = db.run(Tables.User.result).map(_.toList)

  def findByEmail(email: String): Future[Option[UserRow]] = {
    db.run(Tables.User.filter(_.email === email).result.headOption)
  }

  def update(id: Int, newData: UserRow): Future[Int] = {
    db.run(Tables.User.filter(_.id === id).update(newData))
  }

  def delete(id: Int): Future[Int] = {
    db.run(Tables.User.filter(_.id === id).delete)
  }

}

The code generates the following compilation error:

value delete is not a member of slick.lifted.Query[models.Tables.User,models.Tables.User#TableElementType,Seq]

I am using slick.driver.MySQLDriver$ / com.mysql.jdbc.Driver in the application.conf, and the models.Tables.scala file is automatically generated by slick-codegen lib.

Can anyone help me to fix this? Thanks!

Answer 1

Try importing a more specific API, so instead of import driver.api._ use import slick.driver.MySQLDriver.api._.

I just had the same issue and found this bug report for slick: https://github.com/playframework/play-slick/issues/249
