Question

Is it possible to use GreenMail test suite in Play projects?

If so, how to use it?

Is there any plugin? (I found a GreenMail plugin for Grails but none for Play)

Or does Play support mail server testing by itself without GreenMail?

(I’m using Eclipse IDE by the way)

Answer 1

If you can use it with JUnit, you can use it with Play. The code below is just a regular play unit test:

public class GreenMailTest extends UnitTest {

  private GreenMail mail;

  @Before
  public void startGreenMail() {
    GreenMail greenMail = new GreenMail();
    greenMail.start();  
  }

  @Test
  public void myTestThatUsesGreenMail() {
    GreenMailUtil.sendTextEmailTest("[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "subject", "body");
    assertEquals("body", GreenMailUtil.getBody(greenMail.getReceivedMessages()[0]));
  }

  @After
  public void stopGreenMail() {
    greenMail.stop();
  }

}

Hope that helps
