I'm creating a Rest API with spray-routing on top of mongodb for some CRUD operations, this all works fine, expect whenever I try to test it with specs2 the following specification
class RestServiceSpec extends Specification with Specs2RouteTest with RoutingRestService
// database initialization removed for clarity
"The rest service" should
"have a player called 'Theo TestPlayer' in the db" in {
Get("/api/1.0/player/" + player1._id) ~> restRoute ~> check {
entityAs[Player] must be equalTo(player1)
}
}
}
// some more specs removed for clarity
}
it will fail with the following error:
MalformedContent(invalid ObjectId ["51308c134820cf957c4c51ca"],Some(java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid ObjectId ["51308c134820cf957c4c51ca"])) (Specs2Interface.scala:25)
I have no idea where to look as the reference to the source file and line number point to a generic failTest(msg:String) method
some more info:
I have a case class that I persist to Mongo using SalatDAO
case class Player(@Key("_id") _id:ObjectId = new ObjectId(), name:String, email:String, age:Int) {}
where ObjectId() a class is that wraps mongodb's ID generation to get this (un)marshalled through spray_json I created some jsonFormats
object MyJsonProtocol {
implicit val objectIdFormat = new JsonFormat[ObjectId] {
def write(o:ObjectId) = JsString(o.toString)
def read(value:JsValue) = new ObjectId(value.toString())
}
implicit val PlayerFormat = jsonFormat(Player, "_id", "name", "email", "age")
and the relevant part of my route (removed error handling and logging):
path("player" / "\\w+".r) {id:String =>
get {
respondWithMediaType(`application/json`) {
complete {
PlayerCRUD.getById(id)
}
}
} ~
