BaseOneServerPerTest

Trait that provides a new Application and running TestServer instance for each test executed in a ScalaTest Suite.

This TestSuiteMixin trait overrides ScalaTest's withFixture method to create a new Application and TestServer before each test, and ensure they are cleaned up after the test has completed. The Application is available (implicitly) from method app. The TestServer's port number is available as port (and implicitly available as portNumber, wrapped in a PortNumber).

By default, this trait creates a new Application for each test using default parameter values, which is returned by the newAppForTest method defined in this trait. If your tests need an Application with non-default parameters, override newAppForTest to return it.

Here's an example that demonstrates some of the services provided by this trait:

package org.scalatestplus.play.examples.oneserverpertest

import org.scalatest._
import org.scalatestplus.play._
import play.api.{Play, Application}
import play.api.inject.guice._
import play.api.routing._

class ExampleSpec extends PlaySpec with OneServerPerTest {

  // Override newAppForTest or use GuiceOneServerPerTest
  implicit override def newAppForTest(testData: TestData): Application = new GuiceApplicationBuilder()
    .configure(Map("ehcacheplugin" -> "disabled"))
    .router(TestRoutes.router)
    .build()

  "The OneServerPerTest trait" must {
    "provide a FakeApplication" in {
      app.configuration.getOptional[String]("ehcacheplugin") mustBe Some("disabled")
    }
    "make the FakeApplication available implicitly" in {
      def getConfig(key: String)(implicit app: Application) = app.configuration.getOptional[String](key)
      getConfig("ehcacheplugin") mustBe Some("disabled")
    }
    "provide an http endpoint" in {
      runningServer.endpoints.httpEndpoint must not be empty
    }
    "provide an actual running server" in {
      import Helpers._
      import java.net._
      val url = new URL("http://localhost:" + port + "/boum")
      val con = url.openConnection().asInstanceOf[HttpURLConnection]
      try con.getResponseCode mustBe 404
      finally con.disconnect()
    }
  }
}
