Resource directory for tests in a Play application

I need some resources (text files) for my tests in a Scala Play 2.0 application. Where can I put these files?

In a maven app I would put them into src/test/resources, but I cannot find anything about an equal directory in the Play documentation.

I can put them in the confdirectory, but I only need them when I test the application.

Solution

  • Call 

    play "show test:resource-directory"

    in the console and it shows you the absolute path to your resource directory in test mode. It will be in "test/resources".

    "show" is a sbt command (or task) that enables you to retrieve the values of settings.
