I'm new to Scala and Dispatch, and I can't seem to get a basic Post request working.
I'm actually building a sbt plugin that uploads files to a third party service.
Here is my build.sbt
file:
sbtPlugin := true
name := "sbt-sweet-plugin"
organization := "com.mattwalters"
version := "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"
libraryDependencies += "net.databinder.dispatch" %% "dispatch-core" % "0.11.0"
And here is the plugin's SweetPlugin.scala
:
package com.mattwalters
import sbt._
import Keys._
import dispatch._
object SweetPlugin extends Plugin {
import SweetKeys._
object SweetKeys {
lazy val sweetApiToken =
SettingKey[String]("Required. Find yours at https://example.com/account/#api")
lazy val someOtherToken =
SettingKey[String]("Required. Find yours at https://example.com/some/other/token/")
lazy val sweetFile =
SettingKey[String]("Required. File data")
lazy val sweetotes =
SettingKey[String]("Required. Release notes")
lazy val sweetUpload =
TaskKey[Unit]("sweetUpload", "A task to upload the specified sweet file.")
}
override lazy val settings = Seq (
sweetNotes := "some default notes",
// define the upload task
sweetUpload <<= (
sweetApiToken,
someOtherToken,
sweetFile,
sweetNotes
) map { (
sweetApiToken,
someOtherToken,
sweetFile,
sweetNotes
) =>
// define http stuff here
val request = :/("www.example.com") / "some" / "random" / "endpoint"
val post = request.POST
post.addParameter("api_token", sweetApiToken)
post.addParameter("some_other_token", someOtherToken)
post.addParameter("file", io.Source.fromFile(sweetFile).mkString)
post.addParameter("notes", sweetNotes)
val responseFuture = Http(post OK as.String)
val response = responseFuture()
println(response) // see if we can get something at all....
}
)
}
The dispatch documentation shows:
import dispatch._, Defaults._
but I get
reference to Defaults is ambiguous;
[error] it is imported twice in the same scope by
removing , Defaults._
makes this error go away.
I also tried the recommendation from this post:
import dispatch._
Import dispatch.Default._
But alas I get:
object Default is not a member of package dispatch
[error] import dispatch.Default._
Also tried the advice from
Passing implicit ExecutionContext to contained objects/called methods:
import concurrent._
import concurrent.duration._
But I still get
Cannot find an implicit ExecutionContext, either require one yourself or import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
Back to square one...
New to scala so any advice at all on the code above is appreciated.
