Relative URL when using Http Request?

[todd....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm using akka-http to build a restful api. In one route of my app, the route need to access one of my other routes in the same app, like the following:

• `/foo`, which access `/bar` and returns slightly modified content from the latter as response
• `/bar`

In the implementation of `/foo`, I used absolute path: `127.0.0.1:8080/bar`, and request by `Http().singleRequest(...)`. This works fine initially, but as I start to write the test cases with akka test kit(ScalatestRouteTest), the port 8080 seems cannot be accessed in my test: 

```

Get("/foo") ~> route ~> check {...}

```

and it shows the error:

```

akka.stream.StreamTcpException: Tcp command [Connect(127.0.0.1:8080,None,List(),Some(10 seconds),true)] failed

```

Thus I'm looking for a way to make request to `/bar`, with relative URL, hoping it solve this problem. Any idea is appreciated.

Because the route test does not actually start a real server. That's a feature. It allows testing all routes without involving actual parsing and starting servers so it is much much faster than full integration testing.

If you want to bind a real server in your test simply do so same as in normal apps.

Instead of doing requests to yourself I would recommend sharing code or methods inside the implementation.

Just need to access routes that makes requests to the other routes, this doesn’t work, due to my absolute url:

val myRoute = {
  path("/foo") {
    val url = "http://127.0.0.1:8080/bar"
    val response = Http().singleRequest(HttpRequest(uri = url))
    onComplete(response) {
      case Success(r) => complete(r)
      case Failure(_) =>
    }
  } ~
  path ("/bar") {
    complete("Hello World")
  }
}

in my test case:

Get("/foo") ~> route ~> check {...}

Sorry in my prior email I forgot to render markdown. Hope this clarifies a bit.
