Writing a test case for file uploads in Play 2.1 and Scala

Question

I found the following question/answer:

Test MultipartFormData in Play 2.0 FakeRequest

But it seems things have changed in Play 2.1. I\'ve tried adapting the

Answer 1

I've modified Alex's code to act as a Writable which better integrates into Play 2.2.2

package test

import play.api.http._
import play.api.mvc.MultipartFormData.FilePart
import play.api.libs.iteratee._
import play.api.libs.Files.TemporaryFile
import play.api.mvc.{Codec, MultipartFormData }
import java.io.{FileInputStream, ByteArrayOutputStream}
import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.content._

object MultipartWriteable {

  /**
   * `Writeable` for multipart/form-data.
   *
   */
  implicit def writeableOf_multiPartFormData(implicit codec: Codec): Writeable[MultipartFormData[TemporaryFile]] = {

    val entity = new MultipartEntity()

    def transform(multipart: MultipartFormData[TemporaryFile]):Array[Byte] = {

      multipart.dataParts.foreach { part =>
        part._2.foreach { p2 =>
            entity.addPart(part._1, new StringBody(p2))
        }
      }

      multipart.files.foreach { file =>
        val part = new FileBody(file.ref.file, file.filename,     file.contentType.getOrElse("application/octet-stream"), null)
        entity.addPart(file.key, part)
      }

      val outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream
      entity.writeTo(outputStream)
      val bytes = outputStream.toByteArray
      outputStream.close
      bytes
    }

    new Writeable[MultipartFormData[TemporaryFile]](transform, Some(entity.getContentType.getValue))
  }
}

This way it is possible to write something like this:

val filePart:MultipartFormData.FilePart[TemporaryFile] = MultipartFormData.FilePart(...)
val fileParts:Seq[MultipartFormData.FilePart[TemporaryFile]] = Seq(filePart)
val dataParts:Map[String, Seq[String]] = ...
val multipart = new MultipartFormData[TemporaryFile](dataParts, fileParts, List(), List())
val request = FakeRequest(POST, "/url", FakeHeaders(), multipart)

var result = route(request).get
