Question

    running(fakeApplication(), new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            Content html = views.html.index.render(loginForm);
            assertThat(contentType(html)).isEqualTo("text/html");
            assertThat(contentAsString(html)).contains("log in");
        }
    });

We use this code to test that a view is rendered properly, but the problem is that the text in the view doesn’t use the Messages.en-file we have specified for our actual application (so it renderes login.login instead of “log in” for instance).

Is there a way to configure the fakeapplication to use a specific langauge (and then have it look for the appropriate messages-file)?

We tried this to no avail:

    Map<String, String> config = new HashMap<String, String>();
    config.put("application.langs", "en");
    FakeApplication fakeApp = new FakeApplication(additionalConfiguration = config);

Try this:

Map<String, String> config = new HashMap<String, String>();
config.put("application.langs", "en");
FakeApplication fakeApp = new FakeApplication(new java.io.File("conf/"), Helpers.class.getClassLoader(), config, , new ArrayList<String>())`;
