Hikaricp NPE connection error with DB Postgres and Hibernate

I am migrating my application from MySQL to Postgres. My application is using Hibernate, HikariCp in PlayFramework. Everything worked fine on MySQL. But when I try to switch to Postgres I get a Null pointer exception to: -BaseHikariPool.addConnection

StackTrace: -
