[2.1-RC4]Cannot change conf file for test

[rch850]

Hi all,

I have trouble with testing of play app. I have application.conf for

development and jenkins.conf for Jenkins CI server. db.default.url of each

conf files point different url.

With Play 2.1 RC4, testing with jenkins.conf fails because it cannot connect

to db server. After short investigating, I found that I cannot change conf

file for testing.

play -Dconfig.file=conf/jenkins.conf run works. but 

play -Dconfig.file=conf/jenkins.conf test doesn't work.

Attachment is a simple example of this behavior.

Any workaround?

Thanks,

rch850.

I've encountered the same problem. And problem exists in 2.1.0 as well.

"play test" does ignore any configuration changes specified with -D which worked fine in 2.0.4

Best regards,

Alexander

My workaround is simple : I just override some parameters in a map.

public class AbstractTest {

    private static final int PORT = 3333;
    public static final String BASE_PATH = "http://localhost:" + PORT;
    private static Map<String, Object> additionalConfiguration;

    @Before
    public void startApp() {
        additionalConfiguration = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        additionalConfiguration.put("logger.root", "INFO");
        additionalConfiguration.put("logger.play", "INFO");
        additionalConfiguration.put("logger.application", "INFO");
    }

    public TestServer getTestServer() {
        return Helpers.testServer(PORT, Helpers.fakeApplication(additionalConfiguration, new GlobalTest()));
    }
}

Thanks all.

Suggested workaround is enough for me.

That bug has been marked as Won't Fix.  But according to http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Detailed-Topics/Forking.html, you can pass along arguments to the forked JVM.  It seems like this should work:

javaOptions in test += "-Dconfig.file=conf/jenkins.conf"

but I haven't tried it yet.
