Play Framework/Scala example source code file (WSTestClient.scala)

This example Play Framework source code file (WSTestClient.scala) is included in my "Source Code Warehouse" project. The intent of this project is to help you more easily find Play Framework (and Scala) source code examples by using tags.

All credit for the original source code belongs to Play Framework; I'm just trying to make examples easier to find. (For my Scala work, see my Scala examples and tutorials.)

Play Framework tags/keywords

The WSTestClient.scala Play Framework example source code

package play.api.test

import play.api.libs.ws._

import play.api.mvc.Call

trait WsTestClient {

  type Port = Int

  /**
   * Constructs a WS request holder for the given reverse route.  Optionally takes a WSClient.  Note that the WS client used
   * by default requires a running Play application (use WithApplication for tests).
   *
   * For example:
   * {{{
   * "work" in new WithApplication() { implicit app =>
   *   wsCall(controllers.routes.Application.index()).get()
   * }
   * }}}
   */
  def wsCall(call: Call)(implicit port: Port, client: WSClient = WS.client(play.api.Play.current)): WSRequestHolder = wsUrl(call.url)

  /**
   * Constructs a WS request holder for the given relative URL.  Optionally takes a port and WSClient.  Note that the WS client used
   * by default requires a running Play application (use WithApplication for tests).
