Decryption test gzip decoding

Question

I am trying to write a test for spray

class FullTestKitExampleSpec extends Specification with Specs2RouteTest with UserController with HttpService {
  def actorRefFactory = system

  "The service" should {

    "return a greeting for GET requests to the root path" in {
      Get("/user") ~> `Accept-Encoding`(gzip) ~> userRoute ~> check {
        val responsex = response
        responseAs[String] must contain("Test1")
      }
    }
  }
}

I follow the router

trait UserController extends HttpService with Json4sSupport with CORSSupport{
  override implicit def json4sFormats: Formats = DefaultFormats

  val userRoute = {
    cors {
      compressResponse(Gzip) {
        path("user") {
          get {
            complete {
              "Test1"
            }
          } ~
            post {
              entity(as[UserRegister]) { person =>
                complete {
                  println(person.name)
                  person.name
                }
              }
            }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I use gzip compression for the answer, but

Failed to disable response like "java.lang.String" for responseAsassertion: MalformedContent (unknown token Near :, some (org.json4s.ParserUtil $ ParseException: unknown token Near :))

How to set GZIP HttpResponse autodecode for string?

Answer 1

Include decode(Gzip)in your pipeline:

import spray.httpx.encoding.Gzip
import spray.httpx.ResponseTransformation

class MySprayRouteSpec extends FlatSpec
    with ShouldMatchers
    with ResponseTransformation
    with ScalatestRouteTest
    {
        Get("/") ~> mapHttpResponse(decode(Gzip))(userRoute) ~> check{
              response.status should equal(OK)
        }
    }
