How to use configuration in scala play 2.5.8 in an object

I am migrating from play 2.4.x to play 2.5.8

While migrating I am getting a lot of deprecation related warning that I am trying to resolve. Once such error is method current in object Play is deprecated: This is a static reference to application, use DI instead

below is the object

object Foo{
  def testURL= {
   val test =  Play.current.configuration.getString("test.url")
}

If I try to use config = Configuration.load() I get the error overloaded method value load with alternatives:

(environment: play.api.Environment)play.api.Configuration (environment: play.api.Environment,devSettings: Map[String,AnyRef])play.api.Configuration cannot be applied to ()

I there a way to use the play.api.configuration here ? I don't want to convert object into singleton class.

I'm basing this answer on this group post because it's about as good an answer as you'll get for this topic.

What you're trying to do is an anti-pattern, because something is an object it should not depend on external state. Technically, configuration is based on the state of a file on the filesystem, so it is state in that sense.

To do this cleanly, you should use a class.
