Building Applications with Scala

Overview of this book

<p>Scala is known for incorporating both object-oriented and functional programming into a concise and extremely powerful package. However, creating an app in Scala can get a little tricky because of the complexity the language has. This book will help you dive straight into app development by creating a real, reactive, and functional application. We will provide you with practical examples and instructions using a hands-on approach that will give you a firm grounding in reactive functional principles.</p> <p>The book will take you through all the fundamentals of app development within Scala as you build an application piece by piece. We’ve made sure to incorporate everything you need from setting up to building reports and scaling architecture. This book also covers the most useful tools available in the Scala ecosystem, such as Slick, Play, and Akka, and a whole lot more. It will help you unlock the secrets of building your own up-to-date Scala application while maximizing performance and scalability.</p>

Preface

Controller testing


We did unit tests, we did route tests, and now is the time to add controller tests. Controller tests are similar to routes tests, but they are not the same. For instance, our controller always respond to UI pages, so we expected to create specific HTML pages based on each method. The Play framework has integration with Selenium, which is a testing framework for UIs, and a controllers that allows you to simulate web browsers, and you can do pretty much the same as you would by clicking on the pages like a real user.

So let's get started. First, we will start with RndDoubleGeneratorControllerTestSpec.

RndDoubleGeneratorControllerTestSpec.scala - RndDoubleGeneratorController tests

The RndDoubleGeneratorControllerTestSpec.scala file should contain the following code:

    class RndDoubleGeneratorControllerTestSpec 
    extends PlaySpec  
    with OneServerPerSuite with OneBrowserPerSuite with HtmlUnitFactory 
    { 
      val injector = new GuiceApplicationBuilder...
