How to mock a Scala singleton object?

Question

I am trying to mock a Scala singleton object. In particular, I need to mock the object play.api.libs.ws.WS used inside a service component (class under test). U

Answer 1

I don't like to change the design to accommodate this kind of limitation. basically what I can get is all to change the design and then use the mock framework

  //since mocking frameworks on SCALA is not support mocking singleton
  //hacks are either required to change the design or ...
  //I'd rather putting the mocking logic here by myself
  var testUser:Option[User] = None;

  def getCurrentUser(request: Request[Object]) = {
    if( testUser != None ){
    testUser;
  }

hope it helps.
