Getting "Missing unapply or unapplySeq" exceptions in Scala Play application

Question

I am trying to use a web application with Scala Play 2, Slick 3 and PostgreSQL. My goal is to return JSON from the controller.

These are Dependencies -

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
    "org.postgresql" % "postgresql" % "9.4-1201-jdbc41",
    "com.typesafe.slick" %% "slick" % "3.0.0",
    "com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick" % "1.0.1",
    "com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick-evolutions" % "1.0.1",
    specs2 % Test
)

This is my model -

package models

import play.api.libs.json.Json
import slick.driver.PostgresDriver.api._
import scala.concurrent.Future

case class User(id: String, name: String)

object Users extends ModelInit {
    class UserModel(tag: Tag) extends Table[User](tag, "USERS") {
        def id = column[String]("ID", O.PrimaryKey)
        def email = column[String]("EMAIL")
        def * = (id, email) <> (User.tupled, User.unapply)
    }

    lazy val users = TableQuery[UserModel]
    implicit val userFormat = Json.format[UserModel]

    def all = {
        db.run(users.result)
    }

    def create(user: User): Future[Int] = {
        db.run(users += user)
    }

    def getById(name: String) = {
        val selectQuery = users.map(_.id)
        val selectAction = selectQuery.result
        db.run(selectAction)
   }
}

This is my controller -

package controllers

import models.Users
import play.api.mvc._
import play.api.libs.concurrent.Execution.Implicits._
import play.api.libs.json._

class Application extends Controller {
    def index = Action {
        Users.all.map(user => println(Json.toJson(user)))
        Ok(views.html.index("Your new application is ready."))
    }
}

I am currently getting the exception "No unapply or unapplySeq function found". Here is the full stacktrace -

Moving Json formatting to the controller solved the problem.

My current model is

package models

import play.api.libs.json.Json
import slick.driver.PostgresDriver.api._
import scala.concurrent.Future

case class User(id: String, name: String)

object Users extends ModelInit {
    class UserModel(tag: Tag) extends Table[User](tag, "USERS") {
        def id = column[String]("ID", O.PrimaryKey)
        def email = column[String]("EMAIL")
        def * = (id, email) <> (User.tupled, User.unapply)
    }

    lazy val users = TableQuery[UserModel]

    def all = {
        db.run(users.result)
    }

    def create(user: User): Future[Int] = {
        db.run(users += user)
    }

    def getById(name: String) = {
        val selectQuery = users.map(_.id)
        val selectAction = selectQuery.result
        db.run(selectAction)
   }
}

And the current controller is

package controllers

import models.Users
import play.api.mvc._
import play.api.libs.concurrent.Execution.Implicits._
import play.api.libs.json._

class Application extends Controller {
    def index = Action {
        implicit val userFormat = Json.format[UserModel]
        Users.all.map(user => println(Json.toJson(user)))
        Ok(views.html.index("Your new application is ready."))
    }
}
