I'm trying to run a test with scaldi and specs2. In the test I need to override a StringManipulator function that uses an injected ProxyManipulator. The ProxyManipulator takes a string and returns its upper case in a Future. The replacement manipulator in the test returns a Future("Test Message").
Here is the StringManipulator class where the injection occurs:
class StringManipulator {
def manip (str : String) (implicit inj: Injector) : String = {
val prox = inject[ProxyManipulator]
Await.result(prox.manipulate(str), 1 second)
}
}
I'm using a package.object that contains the implicit injector:
import modules.MyModule
package object controllers {
implicit val appModule = new MyModule
}
And here is the specs2 test with the new binding:
@RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner])
class StringManipScaldiSpec extends Specification {
class TestModule extends Module {
bind [ProxyManipulator] to new ProxyManipulator {
override def manipulate(name: String) = Future("Test Message")
}
}
"Application" should {
"do something" in {
val myTestModule = new TestModule
val str = "my string"
val stringMan = new StringManipulator() //(myTestModule)
stringMan.manip(str)(myTestModule) === "Test Message"
}
}
}
The problem is that when the test runs the class StringManipulator is still using the original Proxy Manipulator instead of the one passed in the TestModule. Any ideas?
