Implicit twirl parameter: Unspecified value parameter messages - scala

I am trying to use internationalization in twirl templates. I followed this guide: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30800825/1567737
I am having issues with the implicit messages: Messages. I have reduced my setup to the bare minimum on which the error occurs:
TestController
import javax.inject.Inject
import play.api.i18n.{I18nSupport, MessagesApi}
import play.api.mvc.{Action, Controller}
class TestController #Inject()(val messagesApi: MessagesApi)
extends Controller with I18nSupport {
def index = Action {
Ok(views.html.test.render())
}
}
test.scala.html
#()(implicit messages: Messages)
I have also added routesGenerator := InjectedRoutesGenerator to my build.sbt.
This should be sufficient according to the docs and the guide I linked above. Still I get the following compile time error:
[error] app/controllers/TestController.scala:11: not enough arguments for method render: (messages: play.api.i18n.Messages)play.twirl.api.HtmlFormat.Appendable.
[error] Unspecified value parameter messages.
[error] Ok(views.html.test.render())
Play Version: 2.5.9
SBT version: 0.13.11
Scala version: 2.11.7

Well, apparently implicit parameters only work on the apply method. And not when you explicitly call render.
Ok(views.html.test.render())
Must be
Ok(views.html.test())

Codec for ADT do not compile

I'm using the scala driver to make IO operations with mongodb. My scala version is 2.11.11 and the mongo db driver is 2.2.0.
I take the example in documentation about ADT :
sealed class Tree
case class Branch(b1: Tree, b2: Tree, value: Int) extends Tree
case class Leaf(value: Int) extends Tree
val codecRegistry = fromRegistries( fromProviders(classOf[Tree]), DEFAULT_CODEC_REGISTRY )
This code didn't compile.
No known subclasses of the sealed class
[error] val codecRegistry = fromRegistries( fromProviders(classOf[Tree]), DEFAULT_CODEC_REGISTRY )
[error] ^
[error] knownDirectSubclasses of Tree observed before subclass Branch registered
[error] knownDirectSubclasses of Tree observed before subclass Leaf registered
Did I miss something ?
Update
Below a complete example of what I'm tring to do.
build.sbt
name := "mongodb-driver-test"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.11.11"
libraryDependencies += "org.mongodb.scala" %% "mongo-scala-driver" % "2.2.0"
file Models.scala
import org.mongodb.scala.bson.codecs.{DEFAULT_CODEC_REGISTRY, Macros}
import org.bson.codecs.configuration.CodecRegistries.{fromProviders, fromRegistries}
/**
* Created by alifirat on 02/01/18.
*/
object Models {
sealed class Tree
case class Branch(b1: Tree, b2: Tree, value: Int) extends Tree
case class Leaf(value: Int) extends Tree
val treeCodec = Macros.createCodecProvider[Tree]()
val treeCodecRegistry = fromRegistries( fromProviders(treeCodec), DEFAULT_CODEC_REGISTRY )
}
Then, just do :
sbt compile
You will get :
[error] val treeCodec = Macros.createCodecProvider[Tree]()
[error] ^
[error] knownDirectSubclasses of Tree observed before subclass Branch registered
[error] knownDirectSubclasses of Tree observed before subclass Leaf registered
[error] three errors found
[error] (compile:compileIncremental) Compilation failed
If I change the scala version to 2.12.0, I didn't have any errors at compile time ...
I'm using driver version 2.6.0 and Scala version 2.12.8 and still get the same problem.
My workaround is to remove the keyword sealed in front of that sealed class, compile, put it back, and then compile again. But it's very cumbersome.

Functional Tests in Play 2.4.6 when using compile time DI

I'm using Play 2.4.6 with compile time dependency injection and ScalaTest. The controller's constructor has few parameters, and in an ApplicationLoader I create it.
Here is the code:
class BootstrapLoader extends ApplicationLoader {
def load(context: Context) = {
new AppComponents(context).application
}
}
class AppComponents(context: Context) extends BuiltInComponentsFromContext(context) with NingWSComponents {
lazy val router = new Routes(httpErrorHandler, authenticationController, applicationController, assets)
lazy val applicationController = new controllers.Application()
lazy val authenticationController = new controllers.Authentication()(configuration, wsApi.client)
lazy val assets = new controllers.Assets(httpErrorHandler)
}
class Authentication(implicit configuration: Configuration, val ws: WSClient) extends Controller {
def login = Action { implicit request =>
Unauthorized(s"${redirectUrl}")
}
}
class AuthenticationSpec extends PlaySpec with OneAppPerSuite {
implicit val configuration: Configuration = app.configuration
implicit val wsClient: WSClient = WS.client(app)
"when user not logged-in" should {
"return Status code Unauthorized(401) with redirect url" in {
1 mustEqual 2
}
}
}
When I'm running the test I'm getting the following error:
[info] Exception encountered when attempting to run a suite with class name: controllers.AuthenticationSpec *** ABORTED ***
[info] com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Unable to provision, see the following errors:

What should I do to run such tests?
Thanks
override implicit lazy val app = new BootstrapLoader().load(
ApplicationLoader.createContext(
new Environment(
new File("."), ApplicationLoader.getClass.getClassLoader, Mode.Test)))
It works in Play 2.5.1
You are getting an error because the tests are not even able to start a application. That is happening because you are using Dependency Injection in your controllers (as the error message suggests) and you need to declare them as classes, instead of as objects. As you can see at the docs:
package controllers
import play.api.mvc._
class Application extends Controller {
def index = Action {
Ok("It works!")
}
}
If your controller has some dependency to be injected, you should use the #Inject annotation in your controller constructor (again, please see the docs). Per instance:
package controllers
import play.api.mvc._
import play.api.libs.ws._
import javax.inject._
class Application #Inject() (ws: WSClient) extends Controller {
// ...
}
You can also read the Compile Time Dependency Injection docs if you are using it instead of runtime DI.
If you use specs2 you can do it. see http://loicdescotte.github.io/posts/play24-compile-time-di/
But you loose the nice api.
Scalatest / scalatest-plus has done something funky with the DI (guice) :(
I'm facing the same problem as you. I don't have a satisfying solution, the following is a mere workaround:
I ended up putting
implicit def client:WSClient = NingWSClient()
in my WithApplicationLoader class
I also found https://github.com/leanovate/play-mockws which allows you to mock ws calls. But that's not what we want here.
my guess would be that the OneAppPerSuite trait isn't using your custom application loader. you may need to override the application construction that comes from that trait and make it use your custom loader.
looks like there is an example using scalatest here: http://mariussoutier.com/blog/2015/12/06/playframework-2-4-dependency-injection-di/

Play scala integration spec - Injecting dependencies through Guice

I use Scala, Play 2.4, and Slick 3 in my project. I have following DAO code and it works fine from end to end.
#Singleton()
class CompaniesDAO #Inject() (protected val dbConfigProvider: DatabaseConfigProvider) extends CompaniesComponent
with HasDatabaseConfigProvider[JdbcProfile] {
import driver.api._
}
However, I can't get it working as expected in my integration test because of dbConfig stuff. My integration test is below:
class CompaniesDaoIntegrationSpec extends FunSpec with OneServerPerSuite {
def companiesDao(implicit app: Application) = {
val app2CompaniesDAO = Application.instanceCache[CompaniesDAO]
app2CompaniesDAO(app)
}
describe("create") {
it("should create ") {
companiesDao.create...
}
}
}
If I don't put db properties in application.conf I got the following error:
[info] java.lang.RuntimeException: com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Unable to provision, see the following errors:
[info]
[info] 1) No implementation for play.api.db.slick.DatabaseConfigProvider was bound.
[info] while locating play.api.db.slick.DatabaseConfigProvider
[info] for parameter 0 at
It seems given the above code, Play application reads the db properties from configuration file which is located at /conf/application.conf.
My project setup is a bit different to this, as we have multiple environments so we have file structuers like:
/conf/local/application.conf
/conf/testing/application.conf
/conf/staging/application.conf
/conf/production/application.conf
When we run the play application using command like: activator run -Dconfig.resource=/conf/local/application.conf and everything work fine.
I want to do the same for integration spec like: activator test -Dconfig.resource=/conf/local/application.conf.
Play will read the specified config to run integration tests.
What's the best way to achieve that?
You have to make a trait and mix it in the test, and then it will work.
trait WithDatabaseConfig {
lazy val (driver, db) = {
val dbConfig = DatabaseConfigProvider.get[JdbcProfile](Play.current)
(dbConfig.driver, dbConfig.db)
}
}
I have no idea why, I'm a Scala beginner. Probably has to do something with not/running app or Guice. Found it in their samples folder at https://github.com/playframework/play-slick/blob/1.1.x/samples/json/test/DBSpec.scala

scala Play Framework 2.4: sending email

I trying to send an email from scala Play framework 2.4 while using play-mailer, I have followed the instruction from their sample page but with no success.
I have added the dependency to build.sbt:
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.typesafe.play" %% "play-mailer" % "3.0.1"
)
In application.conf the I have added the following:
play.mailer {
host=smtp.gmail.com
port=465
ssl=true
tls=true
user="testme#gmail.com"
password=abracadabra
}
And finally, the Mailing Class:
package controllers
import java.io.File
import javax.inject.Inject
import org.apache.commons.mail.EmailAttachment
import play.api.Configuration
import play.api.Play.current
import play.api.libs.mailer._
class Mail(mailer: MailerClient) {
def send = {
val cid = "1234"
val email = Email(
"Simple email",
"Mister FROM <from#email.com>",
Seq("Miss TO <to#email.com>"),
bodyText = Some("A text message"),
bodyHtml = Some("some data....")
)
mailer.send(email)
}
}
So far without compilation errors, however I don't understand how to initialize this class.. how should I get the "MailerClient" instance?
In the documentation it is written "Then in your router definition, use the trait MailerComponents", with the following code example:
import play.api._
import play.api.ApplicationLoader.Context
import router.Routes
import play.api.libs.mailer._
class MyApplicationLoader extends ApplicationLoader {
def load(context: Context) = {
new ApplicationComponents(context).application
}
}
class ApplicationComponents(context: Context) extends BuiltInComponentsFromContext(context) with MailerComponents {
lazy val myComponent = new MyComponent(mailerClient)
// create your controllers here ...
lazy val router = new Routes(...) // inject your controllers here
}
(I have added "play.application.loader=SimpleApplicationLoader" in application.conf)
but I get the following compilation errors:
D:\myApp\app\SimpleApplicationLoader.scala:12: not found: type MailerComponents
[error] class ApplicationComponents(context: Context) extends BuiltInComponentsFromContext(context) with MailerComponents {
[error] ^
[error] D:\myApp\app\SimpleApplicationLoader.scala:13: not found: value mailerClient
[error] lazy val applicationController = new controllers.Mail(mailerClient)
[error] ^
[error] two errors found
[error] (compile:compileIncremental) Compilation failed
Any ideas?
You can go with the run-time dependency injection, as the other answer has suggested. But if you want to go with your current approach, read on...
The problem is, the MailerComponents trait doesn't exist in the 3.x branch. it does seem to exist in the master branch, but not in their next branch. I am not sure what they are doing there.
If you want to continue with the example, you'll need to do a bit of fiddling and figure out how to make it compile. For ex. with a bit of looking around, I came up with the following.
import play.api._
import play.api.ApplicationLoader.Context
import router.Routes
import play.api.libs.mailer._
class SimpleApplicationLoader extends ApplicationLoader {
def load(context: Context) = {
new ApplicationComponents(context).application
}
}
class ApplicationComponents(context: Context) extends BuiltInComponentsFromContext(context) {
val mailerClient = new CommonsMailer(configuration)
lazy val applicationController = new controllers.ApplicationScala(mailerClient)
lazy val assets = new controllers.Assets(httpErrorHandler)
lazy val router = new Routes(httpErrorHandler, applicationController)
}
Basically, instead of relying on the non-existent MailerComponent to create a mailerClient for me, I just did it myself.
If you have the following line in controllers.ApplicationScala
val id = mailer.configure(Configuration.from(Map("host" -> "typesafe.org", "port" -> 1234))).send(email)
Replace it with:
val id = mailer.send(email)
And it will compile. Meanwhile, I think I should raise an issue on github about this. And maybe you should.
I believe you could simply let play framework inject the mail client. Setting up the configuration and annotating your constructor with #Inject() should work.
Declaration of your Mail controller would look like this:
class Mail #Inject() (mailer: MailerClient) {

Developing SBT plugin with Dispatch 0.11.0 results in Scala compiler's mysterious errors

I'm new to Scala and Dispatch, and I can't seem to get a basic Post request working.
I'm actually building a sbt plugin that uploads files to a third party service.
Here is my build.sbt file:
sbtPlugin := true
name := "sbt-sweet-plugin"
organization := "com.mattwalters"
version := "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"
libraryDependencies += "net.databinder.dispatch" %% "dispatch-core" % "0.11.0"
And here is the plugin's SweetPlugin.scala:
package com.mattwalters
import sbt._
import Keys._
import dispatch._
object SweetPlugin extends Plugin {
import SweetKeys._
object SweetKeys {
lazy val sweetApiToken =
SettingKey[String]("Required. Find yours at https://example.com/account/#api")
lazy val someOtherToken =
SettingKey[String]("Required. Find yours at https://example.com/some/other/token/")
lazy val sweetFile =
SettingKey[String]("Required. File data")
lazy val sweetotes =
SettingKey[String]("Required. Release notes")
lazy val sweetUpload =
TaskKey[Unit]("sweetUpload", "A task to upload the specified sweet file.")
}
override lazy val settings = Seq (
sweetNotes := "some default notes",
// define the upload task
sweetUpload <<= (
sweetApiToken,
someOtherToken,
sweetFile,
sweetNotes
) map { (
sweetApiToken,
someOtherToken,
sweetFile,
sweetNotes
) =>
// define http stuff here
val request = :/("www.example.com") / "some" / "random" / "endpoint"
val post = request.POST
post.addParameter("api_token", sweetApiToken)
post.addParameter("some_other_token", someOtherToken)
post.addParameter("file", io.Source.fromFile(sweetFile).mkString)
post.addParameter("notes", sweetNotes)
val responseFuture = Http(post OK as.String)
val response = responseFuture()
println(response) // see if we can get something at all....
}
)
}
The dispatch documentation shows:
import dispatch._, Defaults._
but I get
reference to Defaults is ambiguous;
[error] it is imported twice in the same scope by
removing , Defaults._ makes this error go away.
I also tried the recommendation from this post:
import dispatch._
Import dispatch.Default._
But alas I get:
object Default is not a member of package dispatch
[error] import dispatch.Default._
Also tried the advice from
Passing implicit ExecutionContext to contained objects/called methods:
import concurrent._
import concurrent.duration._
But I still get
Cannot find an implicit ExecutionContext, either require one yourself or import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
Back to square one...
New to scala so any advice at all on the code above is appreciated.
Since the recommended sbt console run works fine, it looks like one of your other imports also has a Defaults module. It's a standard approach in Scala for collecting implicit values to be used as function params (another naming convention is Implicits).
The other problem is that there is a typo/out-of-date problem in the import statement you got from Google Groups - it's Defaults, plural.
In summary - the best solution is to explicitly let Scala know which module you want to use:
import dispatch._
import dispatch.Defaults._
In the general case, only if the library's docs don't say otherwise: the last error message is pretty common to concurrent programming in Scala. To quote the relevant part:
either require one yourself or import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
So, unless you want to roll your own ExecutionContext, just import the scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global one via the scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits module.
