Cannot load play.http.errorHandler

I'm using Play in Scala to develop a website. I've added the following line to my application.conf file in order to include the default error handling:

play.http.errorHandler = play.api.http.HtmlOrJsonHttpErrorHandler

I've done this by advice of the official documentation. However, when I add this line I get the following error:

play.api.PlayException: Cannot load play.http.errorHandler[play.http.errorHandler [play.api.http.HtmlOrJsonHttpErrorHandler] was not loaded.]

Here is a screenshot of what I get when I go to localhost: enter image description here

Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix it?

Comparing changes between Play 2.6.25 and 2.7.0 we deduce that HtmlOrJsonHttpErrorHandler was introduced by Add an HttpErrorHandler that selects the client's preferred media type #8540. The version of Play used in your project should be specified under project/plugins.sbt as something like

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.6.0")

If you are using 2.6.0 then follow the migration guide to 2.7.
