playframework - Play Framework "runProd" not accepting custom config file

Question

I'm trying to run in "prod mode" on my local environment but it seems the "sbt runProd" command don't accept any custom config file.

For example, if I run in "dev mode" like this:

sbt -Dconfig.file=confhelloworld.conf run

It works perfectly, no error.

If I change the run for runProd like this:

sbt -Dconfig.file=confhelloworld.conf runProd

Then I receive an error about missing database settings. I usually receive this error when I forget to provide the custom .conf. By default, Play tries to use the application.conf config but in my case, this file is there but doesn't contain any information about the database.

Here is a part of the exception I receive:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: dataSource or dataSourceClassName or jdbcUrl is required.

Is there something wrong in my runProd command line? It's supposed to be supported as described here

I already tried to use absolute path to the config file and it doesn't change anything.

Thanks
