Answer 1

In Play 2.5.x, it is easy to test file upload

  val file = new java.io.File("the.file")
  val part = FilePart[File](key = "thekey", filename = "the.file", contentType = None, ref = file)
  val request =  FakeRequest().withBody(
    MultipartFormData[File](dataParts = Map.empty, files = Seq(part), badParts = Nil)
  )
  val response = controller.create().apply(request)
  status(response) must beEqualTo(201)
