I've been struggling several hours and every time I send a FakeRequest, it seems that the FakeApplication receives an empty body. However, if I try to run the play application and I send a normal request to localhost, everything works as expected, I receive the text I sent as a response.
Another test of the test that I have done is sending a custom response (not the same it receives) from the controller, like a string "a".
My test code looks like:
val controller = app.injector.instanceOf(classOf[CreateRecordController])
val js = Json.obj()
val result = controller.apply().apply(
FakeRequest(POST, "/api/v1/record/")
.withHeaders(Headers(CONTENT_TYPE -> "application/json"))
.withJsonBody(js)
)
val content = contentAsJson(result)
info.apply(s"content was $content")
The last statement prints: "content was" and an html page saying: "For request 'POST /api/v1/record/' [Invalid Json: No content to map due to end-of-input at [Source: akka.util.ByteIterator$ByteArrayIterator$$anon$1@5fdfe8cf; line: 1, column: 0]]" -> So the content is empty.
My action handler in the controller is:
def apply: Action[JsValue] = Action.async(parse.json) { implicit request =>
Future.successful(BadRequest(request.body).withHeaders("Content-type" -> "application/json"))
}
Am I missing something?
Play version: 2.6.2
