scala - Unit Testing a Play framework Controller -

i have written controller works browser

package controllers import play.api._ import play.api.mvc._  class application extends controller {    val productmap = map(1 -> "keyboard", 2 -> "mouse", 3 -> "monitor")    def listproductsxml() = action {     ok(views.xml.products(productmap))   } } 

the route defined

get     /listproducts.xml              controllers.application.listproductsxml 

now writing unit test controller

import controllers._ import play.api.test.fakerequest import play.api.test.helpers._ import org.specs2.mutable._ import play.api.test.withapplication  class controllertest extends specification {     "controllers.application" should {         "respond xml /listproducts.xml requests" in new withapplication {             val result = controllers.application.listproductsxml()(fakerequest())             status(result) must equalto(ok)             contenttype(result) must besome("application/xml")             contentasstring(result) must contain("products")         }     } } 

when run activator test-only error

[foo_play] $ test-only controllertest [error] productspec.scala:10: object application not member of package controllers [error] note: class application exists, has no companion object. [error]             val result = controllers.application.listproductsxml()(fakerequest()) [error]                                      ^ [error] 1 error found [error] (test:compileincremental) compilation failed [error] total time: 1 s, completed jun 19, 2015 3:48:14 pm 

try replacing:

controllers.application.listproductsxml()(fakerequest()) 

with:

new controllers.application().listproductsxml()(fakerequest()) 

pre play 2.4, controllers used objects. play 2.4 on, it's encouraged them classes instead.
