I'm getting a null pointer exception when trying to test a controller in Play 2.6 in Scala. This is a test for an OK response:
class ApplicationControllerSpec extends PlaySpec
with MockitoSugar with ScalaFutures {
val mockOrchestrator = mock[ApplicationOrchestrator]
val mockCC = mock[ControllerComponents]
val controller = new ApplicationController(mockOrchestrator, mockCC)
val method = controller.home()(FakeRequest())
assert(status(method) == 200)
}
This is the Controller I'm testing:
class ApplicationController @Inject()
(orchestrator: ApplicationOrchestrator, cc: ControllerComponents)
extends AbstractController(cc) with I18nSupport {
def home(): Action[AnyContent] = Action {
implicit request: RequestHeader => //line 29
Ok(views.html.home())
}
}
The error looks like it is associated with the implicit request but I cannot find a solution.
The log output is:
java.lang.NullPointerException was thrown.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at controllers.ApplicationController.home(ApplicationController.scala:29)
