I am developing a Play! 2 application that generates some html/js widgets which will be embedded into 3rd-party websites. Their linking are dynamic thus I cannot have static test files.
How can I have test views(and routes to those views) that works only in test mode, so I can test with Selenium.
Basically I want to add testView1.scala.html, testView1.scala.html to test/views and have routes to that, but do not want that these work in production mode. What is a good approach to that?
i'm not sure if this is the best way, but here is how i would do it.
create the test route and route to a test controller
in the test controller, create a wrapped action and have all of your routes use this action
this wrapped action will test to see what mode play is in. if play isnt in test mode, forward to 404, otherwise, run the action
when i get home, ill add some code to support, but this is the general workflow i would use.
hope it helps.
Simples...(now with years to answer..). A bit similar to what #mbseid answered:
Rename your /conf/routes to /conf/prod.routes, and specify it in your /conf/application.conf:
play.http.router = prod.Routes
Create a test routes file, e.g. /conf/test.routes, that exposes the test only route and delegates the rest to the prod routes.
/test/only/something controllers.testonly.TestOnlySomethingController.someMethod()
-> / prod.Routes
Make sure your test only controllers are in a different package than other controllers.
When you start your test application override play.http.router, e.g.:
sbt run -Dplay.http.router=test.Routes
It is a useful pattern in microservices environments with integration tests to expose data not otherwise exposed.
Note, play.http.router used to be called application.router before v2.5+

What I'm trying to do in Aurelia, is something like Prism is doing in WPF- Composite applications.
So lets say I have a "shell" application that defines the main application layout, then i have modules that I can plugin at run-time. Those modules can be an Aurelia application per se or Aurelia plugin (don't know what to use - need recommendation).
When loaded, the module needs to add it's menu items to the main application menu to expose it's features.
This is a mockup of the application:
Each module can have multiple menu items and can be pretty complex.
I'm using latest Typescript, Aurelia-CLI to create the application, and I'm using the built-in bundler : Aurelia's new built-in bundler.
So What I don't know is:
Those modules/features - what must they be? (Maybe Aurelia Plugins, or another Aurelia application?)
How to load those modules/features at run-time? (like deploy it in some plugins folder and tell the main shell application to load them)
How to modify the main menu and add new menu items from the loaded module?
Please help
Aurelia supports ultra dynamic applications. Also, there have been other community members who have had similar requirements and was able to resolve it. So I think the scenario is possible.
It seems the sub-application can just be a route.How/where to load the route should be determined based on the application URL
Those modules doesn't need to do anything specific, they can just be a normal, plain JS/TS class with lifecycle methods to handle activation/deactivation. I guess that main shell and all sub-applications need to share a common URL, you cannot have more than one router.
There could be a singleton/central store for new route to register information about loaded features, or it can be loaded upfront by a configuration file/metadata file or a database fetch.
Here is a similar question from another community member that I think can help you see how to glue things to https://discourse.aurelia.io/t/dynamicaly-load-routes/1906
I have an app in Play 2.6 and Scala and I want to configure all my Action to return Future or not, or i could say, to be Action or Action.async by a config file. So I could configure my entire app to work in production or test environment.
I have no clue how to do that. Hpw can I start to study and implement it?
Thank you
I wonder if you're looking for something like this which would allow you to provide environment specific configuration values? Including how to use those values in your controller
That document also covers how to specify which application.conf to use via the command line.
I have a Meteor application using angular-meteor. I need now to load different angular modules depending on url. I added iron-router to my application to do so and I continue to handle routes for each module using ngRoute and anchor nav but it behaves strangely if url contains params. I made a small test case which is available here:
https://github.com/clouchtibat/iron-router-ng-route
If you click on 'truc' link and then on 'test', next routes changes will make controller be instantiated two times. It works if urls have no params.
I also tested with ui-router (in the with-ui-router branch) and the problem is the same but in addition view is duplicated.
Is this a bug in one of the two routers or is there something wrong with my implementation?
Take a look at this conversations in the angular-meteor Github issues:
https://github.com/Urigo/angular-meteor/issues/154
https://github.com/Urigo/angular-meteor/issues/493
I think it can help you with some directions.
I am also having some hard time with mixin angular-meteor and iron:router.
Can somebody tell me if there are some possibility to get the domain name in unittest and if no how generally this is solved;
Generally in UnitTest there are no such need because you can dispatch something like /edit.html and it works right;
For Selenium tests it is more difficult, of course we can hard code it in a variable, but I'm looking for solution to make it work on virtual host example.com/edit.html and on localhost: localhost/example/public/edit.html;
the domain name shouldn't have a bearing on your tests, and you need to mock these things up, be it the controller, view, etc. You don't run tests against the actual url, you test units of code against those portions of code within, for example, an action in the controller, or method in an action helper, etc.

I would like to be able to run a set of unit tests by linking to them in my application (e.g. I want to be able to click on a link and have it run a set of jUnit tests). The problem is that GWT and jUnit don't seem to be designed for this capability -- only at build time can you run the tests it seems.
I would like to be able to include my test code in my application and, from onModuleLoad for example, run a set of tests.
I tried to just instantiate a test object:
StockWatcherTest tester = new StockWatcherTest();
tester.testSimple();
but I get:
No source code is available for type com.google.StockWatcher.client.StockWatcherTest;
even though I include the module specifically.
Would anyone know a way to do this? I just want to be able to display the test results within the browser.
If you are trying to test UI elements in GWT using JUnit, unfortunately you may not do so. JUnit testing is limited to RPC and non-UI client-side testing. See this thread for a great discussion on what you can and cannot do with GWT jUnit testing.
If you are not trying to test UI elements, but are instead trying to inject your RPC code or client-side logic with test values (hence why you want to be able to click on a link and run a set of JUnit tests), then you should follow the following guide from testearly.com: Testing GWT with JUnit. In short, you should make sure that the method you are testing does not include any UI elements and if the method you are testing is asynchronous in nature, you must add a timer.
In 2.0, HTMLUnit was added. You may wish to use this instead of firing up a browser each time you wish to test.
