Mock WS Queries on Play 2.1

Question

How do you guarantee that you are not sending real HTTP requests during test execution.

I find it difficult to find documentation for this.

Answer 1

This is only available in Play 2.3.x, but the MockWS client is available: https://github.com/leanovate/play-mockws

val ws = MockWS { case (GET, "http://dns/url") => Action { Ok("http response") } } await(ws.url("http://dns/url").get()).body == "http response" 

Answer 2

WS.url is static. Therefore, you need to use powermock to test static methods.
