ConfiguredApp

Trait that provides a configured Application to the suite into which it is mixed.

The purpose of this trait is to allow nested suites of an enclosing suite that extends GuiceOneAppPerSuite to make use of the Application provided by GuiceOneAppPerSuite. Trait GuiceOneAppPerSuite will ensure the Application is placed in the ConfigMap under the key org.scalatestplus.play.app before nested suites are invoked. This represents the "configured application" that is passed from the enclosing suite to the nested suites. Trait ConfiguredApp extracts the Application from the ConfigMap and makes it available via the app method it provides.

To prevent discovery of nested suites you can annotate them with @DoNotDiscover. Here's an example, taken from GuiceOneAppPerSuite's documentation:

package org.scalatestplus.play.examples.oneapppersuite

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

class ExampleSpec extends PlaySpec with GuiceOneAppPerSuite {

  // Override app if you need an Application with other than non-default parameters.
  def fakeApplication(): Application =
    new GuiceApplicationBuilder().configure(Map("ehcacheplugin" -> "disabled")).build()

  "The GuiceOneAppPerSuite 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")
    }
  }
}
