You can create an implicit ActorMaterializer within your test class which will use testkit's ActorSystem:

import akka.testkit.TestKit
import akka.actor.ActorSystem

class TestJmlPlay(_system : ActorSystem) extends TestKit(_system) ... {

  implicit val materializer: ActorMaterializer = ActorMaterializer()

  val bbox = ...
