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 had the same problem. Fixed it like this:

"respond to the register Action" in {
    val requestNode = Json.toJson(Map("name" -> "Testname"))
    val request = FakeRequest().copy(body = requestNode)
        .withHeaders(HeaderNames.CONTENT_TYPE -> "application/json");
    val result = controllers.Users.register()(request)

    status(result) must equalTo(OK)
    contentType(result) must beSome("application/json")
    charset(result) must beSome("utf-8")

    val responseNode = Json.parse(contentAsString(result))
    (responseNode \ "success").as[Boolean] must equalTo(true)
  }
