Use GuiceOneAppPerSuite with async tests

[dpoetzsch]

I have a async test suite that extends AsyncFunSpec.

Now, it seems to be not possible to also mix-in GuiceOneAppPerSuite:

// does not work
class PostSpec extends AsyncFunSpec with GuiceOneAppPerSuite with Matchers {
  it("returns posts") {
    val repo = app.injector.instanceOf[PostRepository]

    repo.create("my post").map { _ =>
      val request = FakeRequest(GET, "/posts")
      val result = route(app, request).get

      status(result) shouldEqual OK
      contentAsJson(result).as[JsArray].value.size shouldEqual 1
    }
  }
}

I am no scala magician, but I figure this is because GuiceOneAppPerSuite demands TestSuite while AsyncFunSpec inherits from AsyncTestSuite.

I figure an easy workaround would be to have an (otherwise identical) GuiceOneAppPerSuiteAsync that uses the AsyncTestSuite inheritance tree as follows:

trait GuiceOneAppPerSuiteAsync extends scala.AnyRef with BaseOneAppPerSuiteAsync with org.scalatestplus.play.guice.GuiceFakeApplicationFactory {
  this : GuiceOneAppPerSuiteAsync with org.scalatest.AsyncTestSuite =>
}

Is there an easier way? And if not, should I create a pull request to add these traits?

Looking to do the same. Any suggestions?

Hi @dpoetzsch,

Thanks for investigating this. Another solution is to declare GuiceOneAppPerSuite with a self-type for Suite instead of TestSuite (Suite is the parent type for both TestSuite and AsyncTestSuite):

trait GuiceOneAppPerSuite extends BaseOneAppPerSuite with GuiceFakeApplicationFactory {
  this: org.scalatest.Suite =>
}

That way, it should work when you mix GuiceOneAppPerSuite and AsyncTestSuite or TestSuite. If you want to give it a try and submit PR, let me know so I can help you by reviewing it. :-)

Best.

For those looking for a quick hack, you can declare the async suite as a nested suite:

import org.scalatest._
import org.scalatestplus.play.guice.GuiceOneAppPerSuite

import scala.collection.immutable

class GuiceOneAppPerAsyncSuite extends TestSuite with GuiceOneAppPerSuite {

  val nestedSuite = new AsyncFlatSpec {
    // async tests here
  }

  override def nestedSuites: immutable.IndexedSeq[Suite] = Vector(nestedSuite)
}

@marcospereira I'm also no Scala magician, but I was trying out your suggestion above to attempt this:

trait GuiceOneAppPerSuite extends BaseOneAppPerSuite with GuiceFakeApplicationFactory {
  this: org.scalatest.Suite =>
}

It seems like that won't work because BaseOneAppPerSuite extends TestSuiteMixin. Does this mean you're left with rewriting a bunch of the tree with async versions like @dpoetzsch's original suggestion?

took at crack at this, moved TestSuite/TestSuiteMixin to Suite/SuiteMixin: https://github.com/playframework/scalatestplus-play/pull/255
