I am, again, struggling with spray and cannot set up a test correctly. I looked at the similar question spray-testkit: could not find implicit value for parameter ta: and the official spray template and cannot figure out what I am missing and/or doing wrong.

I have a very simple service:

trait SimpleService extends HttpService{

  val fooRoute = path("foo") {
    get {
      complete("bar")
    }
  }
}

And I have a very simple test:

class SimpleServiceTest extends FlatSpec with Matchers with SimpleService with ScalatestRouteTest {

  override implicit def actorRefFactory: ActorRefFactory = system

  "The service" should "return OK status when getting /foo" in {
    Get("/foo") ~> fooRoute ~> check {
      status should be(OK)
    }
  }
}

when I try to compile this, I get the following error:

Error:(17, 17) could not find implicit value for parameter ta: SimpleServiceTest.this.TildeArrow[spray.routing.RequestContext,Unit]
Get("/foo") ~> fooRoute ~> check {
            ^

Can anyone help me and tell me what I am missing? I do not find anything unusual, and I am close to evaluating Play instead of spray.

You should mixin ScalatestRouteTest before SimpleService, like so:

class SimpleServiceTest extends ScalatestRouteTest with FlatSpec with Matchers with SimpleService

Another possible solution is to add the following lines to where your test throws the Implicit not found: 

implicitly[spray.testkit.RouteTestTimeout] 
implicitly[spray.routing.RoutingSettings] 
implicitly[spray.util.LoggingContext]

See which line throws, and provide the implicit for that type.

The ScalatestRouteTest already provides an implicit ActorySystem. Remove the "implicit" modifier from your actorRefFactory method and the test should get executed.

this solve this problem for my code
