Using play 2.6 and this plugin version is 0.2.0

The error even happening with the old version, 2.5.x and 0.1.5

@mmizutani any idea about this?

[mmizutani]

You can remove the option by adding gulpForce := false to the settings of your Play project.

@mmizutani thanks, I'll try that and close issue once it is solved.
