Tests using FakeApplication unexpectedly freeze Play 2.1-RC2

Question

I have a simple test like this:

  "xxx" should {
    "xxx" in running(FakeApplication()) {
    route(
      FakeRequest(GET, "/xxx/xxxx")
    ) must beLike {
    case Some(result) => {
      "" must_== ""
    }
  }

The test always freezes near the end of the test:

...
[info] Total for test controllers.XxxTest
[info] Finished in 0.001 seconds
[info] 1 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors

So I quit the test Ctrl+C...

Is there any Idea?

Answer 1

It seems that they re-enabled forking of tests (see https://github.com/playframework/Play20/pull/654). So you need to upgrade sbt to 0.12.2-RC2, by simply putting

sbt.version=0.12.2-RC2

into your build.properties.

Answer 2

Temporary measures

Add the following snippet in your Build.scala (or Build.sbt):

sbt.Keys.fork in Test := false
