How to overcome Scalatra initialization issue: NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getFilterRegistration? - scala

Question

This is my first time using Scalatra, and I'm using it outside of SBT (building and running using mill). I get the following error which seems to be about a missing dependency.

Here are the dependencies I'm using:
val jettyVersion = "9.4.10.v20180503"
def ivyDeps = Agg(
ivy"org.scalatra::scalatra:2.6.3",
ivy"javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5",
ivy"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server:$jettyVersion",
ivy"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlet:$jettyVersion",
ivy"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-webapp:$jettyVersion",
)
My JettyLauncher is a striaght copy from the web site, so far, except I changed the resourceBase to be something that actually exists (but it didn't help):
object JettyLauncher { // this is my entry object as specified in sbt project definition
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val port = if(System.getenv("PORT") != null) System.getenv("PORT").toInt else 5001
val server = new Server(port)
val context = new WebAppContext()
context setContextPath "/"
context.setResourceBase("repeater")
context.addEventListener(new ScalatraListener)
context.addServlet(classOf[DefaultServlet], "/")
server.setHandler(context)
server.start
server.join
}
}
My LifeCycle class is also fairly minimal:
class ScalatraBootstrap extends LifeCycle {
override def init(context: ServletContext) {
context mount (new RepeatAll, "/*")
}
}
UPDATE
I changed to using ScalatraServlet instead of ScalatraServlet, but get a similar issue:
2018.05.23 18:39:24 [main] ERROR org.scalatra.servlet.ScalatraListener - Failed to initialize scalatra application at

Update 2
Another important part of the stacktrace I missed posting earlier:
2018.05.23 18:39:24 [main] WARN org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext - Failed startup of context o.e.j.w.WebAppContext#3d74bf60{/,file:///home/brandon/workspace/sbh/repeater,UNAVAILABLE}

at org.scalatra.servlet.RichServletContext.mount(RichServletContext.scala:84)
at org.scalatra.servlet.RichServletContext.mount(RichServletContext.scala:93)
I tried putting a WEB-INF/web.xml under repeater as specified above, but same result.
