找不到参数marshaller的隐含值：spray.httpx.marshalling.ToResponseMarshaller

Question

I'm using

val akkaV = "2.2.3"
val sprayV = "1.2.0"
Seq(
  "io.spray"            %   "spray-can"     % sprayV,
  "io.spray"            %   "spray-routing" % sprayV,
  "io.spray"          %%  "spray-json"    % "1.2.5",
  "io.spray"            %   "spray-testkit" % sprayV,
  "com.typesafe.akka"   %%  "akka-actor"    % akkaV,
  "com.typesafe.akka"   %%  "akka-testkit"  % akkaV,

And getting this error:

could not find implicit value for parameter marshaller: spray.httpx.marshalling.ToResponseMarshaller[List[org.bwi.models.Cluster]]

with this code:

object JsonImplicits extends DefaultJsonProtocol {
val impCluster = jsonFormat2(Cluster)

}

trait ToolsService extends HttpService with spray.httpx.SprayJsonSupport {

val myRoute = {

    import JsonImplicits._

    path("") { get { getFromResource("tools.html") } } ~
        pathPrefix("css") { get { getFromResourceDirectory("css") } } ~
        pathPrefix("fonts") { get { getFromResourceDirectory("fonts") } } ~
        pathPrefix("js") { get { getFromResourceDirectory("js") } } ~
        path("clusters") {
            get {
                complete {
                    val result: List[Cluster] = List(Cluster("1", "1 d"), Cluster("2", "2 d"), Cluster("3", "3 d"))
                    result //*****   ERROR OCCURS HERE *****
                }
            }
        }
}

}

I've tried the suggestion on this question but it did not work, same error.

I can't seem to figure out what the implicit I need to import is. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to make sure that the implicit JsonFormat for the Cluster type is in scope, so that SprayJsonSupport knows how to marshall that type. With that you should automatically get support for marshaling List[Cluster] from the default formats.

In the posted code val impCluster = jsonFormat2(Cluster) defines the JsonFormat , but it is not marked as implicit , so the typeclass cannot be implicitly resolved. Changing it to

implicit val impCluster = jsonFormat2(Cluster)

should fix the issue.
