Trying to create Unit tests for Slick database for Play web application in Scala - scala

Question

I am struggling trying to configure unit tests for my Play web applications using Scala. I am using Play 2.6 and Scala 2.11.8. When I use the database configuration and execute sbt test I get the error No implementation for play.api.db.slick.DatabaseConfigProvider was bound on my console. So I am going to show how I set my web app and maybe someone could point what is wrong. Just for the sake, the web application is working well. It is just the unit test for the database that I cannot create.
build.sbt
import play.sbt.PlayImport._
name := """crypto-miners-demo"""
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayScala)
scalaVersion := "2.11.8"

def beforeAll() = Evolutions.applyEvolutions(database)

// Evolutions.cleanupEvolutions(database)
database.shutdown()
}
Evolution(

"create table test (id bigint not null, name varchar(255));",

}
and I get this error when I execute sbt test:

I solved using the libraryDependencies += specs2 % Test in the build.sbt. I hope this is a good practice for slick:
import org.specs2.mutable.Specification
import play.api.Application
import play.api.test.WithApplicationLoader
import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
import scala.concurrent.{Await, Future}
import scala.concurrent.duration.DurationInt
class RackRepositorySpec extends Specification {
"RackRepository" should {
"work as expected" in new WithApplicationLoader {
val app2dao = Application.instanceCache[RackRepository]
val rackRepository: RackRepository = app2dao(app)
Await.result(rackRepository.delete("r-1"), 3 seconds)
Await.result(rackRepository.delete("r-2"), 3 seconds)
Await.result(rackRepository.delete("r-3"), 3 seconds)
val testRacks = Set(
RackRow("r-1", 0.2F, System.currentTimeMillis()),
RackRow("r-2", 0.5F, System.currentTimeMillis()),
RackRow("r-3", 0.8F, System.currentTimeMillis())
)
Await.result(Future.sequence(testRacks.map(rackRepository.insert)), 3 seconds)
val storedRacks = Await.result(rackRepository.list(), 3 seconds)
storedRacks.toSet must contain(testRacks)
}
}
}
