Play 2 - Scala FakeRequest withJsonBody

Question

I am trying to test an action on a controller.

It\'s a rather simple action, it takes JSON and returns JSON:

  def createGroup = Action(parse.json) {         


        

Answer 1

I am using Play 2.1. @EtienneK method is not working for me. This is how I use:

"update profile with new desc" in {
            running(FakeApplication()) {
        var member1 = new MemberInfo("testapi2@test.com")
        member1.save()
        var mId = member1.getMemberIdString()

        val json = Json.obj(
            "description" -> JsString("this is test desc")
                 )
        val req = FakeRequest(
                  method = "POST",
                  uri = routes.ProfileApiV1.update(mId).url,
                  headers = FakeHeaders(
                    Seq("Content-type"->Seq("application/json"))
                  ),
                  body =  json
                )
                val Some(result) = route(req.withCookies(Cookie("myMemberId", mId)))
        status(result) must equalTo(OK)
        contentType(result) must beSome("application/json")
        charset(result) must beSome("utf-8")
        contentAsString(result) must contain("ok")

        member1 = MemberInfo.getMemberInfoByMemberId(mId)
        member1.delete()
        }
    }
