Getting "too many arguments for method apply" routes with multiple parameters

Question

I have a routes file like this:

GET /getOf/:city/:fi/:state/:zipCode    cont.Offer.getOf(city:String, fi:String, state:String, zipCode:String)

In my scala class, my code is like this:

def getOf(city:String, fi:String,state:String,zipCode:String) = Action(parse.anyContent) {request =>
    val offer = Offer(city,fi,state,zipCode);

    Ok(Json.toJson(offerService.getOffer(offer)));

}

But when I run I get this compilation error:

too many arguments for method apply: (name: String, constraint: String)play.core.DynamicPart in object DynamicPart

But same code works fine if I have only one argument. I even not understanding what's the problem. Yes, I have created Eclipse project with play clean-all and others. But still same problem persists.

Can anyone please guide me on this? As I am very new to Play framework and scala.

check if you havent /getOf route with only two params declared previously — biesior
@biesior.. no I haven't declared. First I declared one paramater that worked fine, but when I added few more parameters, it's throwing this error. — Pradeep Simha
Stop the application and in terminal perform these actions: play clean play update play compile play ~run it should fix your problem — biesior
@biesior No, still same error. Now it is not even compiling when I run play compile, it's throwing error there only. :( — Pradeep Simha
I don't know this the problem with Play framework itself? I can't run any applications reliably — Pradeep Simha

i got the same problem when i walk through from the below url http://scala-ide.org/docs/tutorials/play/index.html but the issue resolved by calling clean and then compile from play console solved the issue.

Note* i initially had the site at different folder.
