how to resolve NoSuchMethodError on typesafe config?

Question

I'm getting this error when trying to run my project.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.typesafe.config.Config.getDuration(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/time/Duration;

tried to clear ivy2 cache with no success . this is how my build sbt looks like :

any idea how to solve it ?

UPDATE: java.class.path shows

You may also want to share the line of code that contains this getDuration call. — mfirry
@mfirry There is no such line, i.e no where in the code I call this method explicitly. however other libraries might be calling is such as scalatest/ akka etc' — igx
I would be interested in seeing more information / typesafe config files/ is that the full build file? — Barry
Which version of Typesafe config JAR is in the classpath? java.time.Duration getDuration(java.lang.String path) was added in 1.3.0. Maybe you are using an earlier version of the library. — radumanolescu

It sounds like a classpath problem. You may be using a library that calls (uses) Typesafe Config, but the version of Typesafe Config in your path is less than 1.3.0. The method that is not found was introduced in Typesafe Config 1.3.0. To see your runtime classpath, make sure these statements are the first ones that are executed (i.e. before your app crashes):

val cp = System.getProperty("java.class.path")
val sep = System.getProperty("path.separator")
cp.split(sep).foreach(println)

Once you see that you do not have Typesafe Config 1.3.0, add it as an explicit dependency.
