In a Play app, using Salat and Casbah, I am trying to de-serialize a DBObject
into an object of type Task
, but I am getting this error when calling .asObject
:
No implicit view available from com.mongodb.casbah.Imports.DBObject => com.mongodb.casbah.Imports.MongoDBObject. Error occurred in an application involving default arguments.
The object is serialized correctly with .asDBObject
, and written to the database as expected.
What is causing this behaviour, and what can be done to solve it? Here's the model involved:
package models
import db.{MongoFactory, MongoConnection}
import com.novus.salat._
import com.novus.salat.global._
import com.novus.salat.annotations._
import com.mongodb.casbah.Imports._
import com.mongodb.casbah.commons.Imports._
import play.api.Play
case class Task(label: String, _id: ObjectId=new ObjectId)
object Task {
implicit val ctx = new Context {
val name = "Custom_Classloader"
}
ctx.registerClassLoader(Play.classloader(Play.current))
val taskCollection = MongoFactory.database("tasks")
def create(label: String): Task = {
val task = new Task(label)
val dbObject = grater[Task].asDBObject(task)
taskCollection.save(dbObject)
grater[Task].asObject(dbObject)
}
def all(): List[Task] = {
val results = taskCollection.find()
val tasks = for (item <- results) yield grater[Task].asObject(item)
tasks.toList
}
}
Versions
casbah: "2.8.1"
scala: "2.11.6"
salat: "1.9.9"
Instructions on creating a custom context:
- First, define a custom context as
implicit val ctx = new Context { /* custom behaviour */ }
in a package object- Stop importing
com.novus.salat.global._
- Import your own custom context everywhere instead.
