Scala Neo4j OGM - Will not scan annotated NodeEntity classes - IllegalArgumentException - scala

Question

Problem: Annotated classes are not being loaded into the class map.
My understanding on how to use the OGM:
Pass your domain (which includes your NodeEntity annotated classes) to the SessionFactory
Open a Session. At this point, behind the scenes, a class map of the annotated NodeEntity classes is built. This is referenced in the stacktrace on line 3 as "Building annotation class map". You'll see it mapped 0 on the next line.
Pass an instance of an annotated NodeEntity class to session.save
Your entity is now saved in Neo4j!
In this sample project, the domain is testdomain, and the only annotated NodeEntity, Person, is defined in the same file. I would expect this would eliminate any issues finding what classes to build into the persistent class map behind the scenes. But as seen in the log, the class map is not considering the domain I pass to SessionFactory.
This prevents any data from being saved to Neo.
You can clone the project and run the app yourself to reproduce the problem (instructions in README).

I have searched high and low to try to resolve this issue. However, I am new at scala, so this must be something simple I am missing, right?
