§Writing functional tests

Play provides a number of classes and convenience methods that assist with functional testing. Most of these can be found either in the play.test package or in the Helpers class.

You can add these methods and classes by importing the following:

import play.test.*;
import static play.test.Helpers.*;

§FakeApplication

Play frequently requires a running Application as context: it is usually provided from play.Play.application().

To provide an environment for tests, Play provides a FakeApplication class which can be configured with a different Global object, additional configuration, or even additional plugins.

Application fakeApp = Helpers.fakeApplication();

Application fakeAppWithGlobal = fakeApplication(new GlobalSettings() {
  @Override
  public void onStart(Application app) {
    System.out.println("Starting FakeApplication");
  }
});

Application fakeAppWithMemoryDb = fakeApplication(inMemoryDatabase("test"));

§Injecting tests

If you’re using Guice for dependency injection then an Application for testing can be built directly, instead of using FakeApplication. You can also inject any members of a test class that you might need. It’s generally best practice to inject members only in functional tests and to manually create instances in unit tests.

@Inject Application application;

@Before
public void setup() {
  Module testModule = new AbstractModule() {
    @Override
    public void configure() {
      // Install custom test binding here
    }
  };

  GuiceApplicationBuilder builder = new GuiceApplicationLoader()
      .builder(new Context(Environment.simple()))
      .overrides(testModule);
  Guice.createInjector(builder.applicationModule()).injectMembers(this);      
}

@After
public void teardown() {
  Helpers.stop(application);
}

§Testing with an application

To run tests with an Application, you can do the following:

@Test
public void findById() {
    running(fakeApplication(inMemoryDatabase("test")), () -> {
        Computer macintosh = Computer.findById(21l);
        assertEquals("Macintosh", macintosh.name);
        assertEquals("1984-01-24", formatted(macintosh.introduced));
    });
}

You can also extend WithApplication, this will automatically ensure that an application is started and stopped for you:

public class FunctionalTest extends WithApplication {

This will ensure that a FakeApplication will be started and stopped for each test method.

§Testing with a Guice application

To run tests with an Application created by Guice, you can do the following:

@Test
public void findById() {
    ClassLoader classLoader = classLoader();
    Application application = new GuiceApplicationBuilder()
        .in(new Environment(new File("path/to/app"), classLoader, Mode.TEST))
        .build();

    running(application, () -> {
        Computer macintosh = Computer.findById(21l);
        assertEquals("Macintosh", macintosh.name);
        assertEquals("1984-01-24", macintosh.introduced);
    });
}

Note that there are different ways to customize the Application creation when using Guice to test.

§Testing with a server

Sometimes you want to test the real HTTP stack from within your test. You can do this by starting a test server:

@Test
public void testInServer() {
    running(testServer(3333), () -> {
        assertEquals(OK, WS.url("http://localhost:3333").get().get(timeout).getStatus());
    });
}

Just as there exists a WithApplication class, there is also a WithServer which you can extend to automatically start and stop a TestServer for your tests:

public class ServerFunctionalTest extends WithServer {

    @Test
    public void testInServer() {
        int timeout = 5000;
        String url = "http://localhost:" + this.testServer.port() + "/";
        assertEquals(NOT_FOUND, WS.url(url).get().get(timeout).getStatus());
    }

}

§Testing with a browser

If you want to test your application from with a Web browser, you can use Selenium WebDriver. Play will start the WebDriver for you, and wrap it in the convenient API provided by FluentLenium.

@Test
public void runInBrowser() {
    running(testServer(), HTMLUNIT, browser -> {
        browser.goTo("/");
        assertEquals("Welcome to Play!", browser.$("#title").getText());
        browser.$("a").click();
        assertEquals("/login", browser.url());
    });
}

And, of course there, is the WithBrowser class to automatically open and close a browser for each test:

public class BrowserFunctionalTest extends WithBrowser {

    @Test
    public void runInBrowser() {
        browser.goTo("/");
        assertNotNull(browser.$("title").getText());
    }

}

§Testing the router

Instead of calling the Action yourself, you can let the Router do it:

import play.mvc.Http.RequestBuilder;

@Test
public void testBadRoute() {
    RequestBuilder request = new RequestBuilder()
        .method(GET)
        .uri("/xx/Kiwi");

    Result result = route(request);
    assertEquals(NOT_FOUND, result.status());
}
