Failing to use play framework app injector to inject WSClient

Question

Im using play 2.6.0 and scala 2.11.8

I was always using play's WSClient with no issues with the same configurations:

application.conf:

play {
  ws.timeout.connection = 600000
  ws.timeout.idle = 600000
  ws.timeout.request = 600000
}

and now I need to inject an instace of it in my test cauese one of my classes has it as a dependancy.

it looks like this:

class TestClass extends FreeSpec with OneAppPerSuite {


  implicit lazy val materializer: Materializer = app.materializer

  // this line is failing
  val ws: WSClient = app.injector.instanceOf[WSClient]

  ..
}

at this point the test already fails with this error:

1) Error injecting constructor, java.lang.NumberFormatException: format error 600000 at play.api.libs.ws.ahc.AsyncHttpClientProvider.(AhcWSModule.scala:40) at play.api.libs.ws.ahc.AsyncHttpClientProvider.class(AhcWSModule.scala:39) while locating play.api.libs.ws.ahc.AsyncHttpClientProvider while locating play.shaded.ahc.org.asynchttpclient.AsyncHttpClient for the 1st parameter of play.api.libs.ws.ahc.AhcWSClientProvider.(AhcWSModule.scala:203) at play.api.libs.ws.ahc.AhcWSClientProvider.class(AhcWSModule.scala:203) while locating play.api.libs.ws.ahc.AhcWSClientProvider while locating play.api.libs.ws.WSClient

Caused by:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: format error 600000

does anyone have any idea why this is happening? didnt find anything that could help me online, i tried...

I ran into this issue today and discovered it was not a duplicate of this issue , but a property formatting error. As of Play 2.6, WS properties must be specified with both a value and unit (ie. 10000ms). So your properties would change to something more like the following:

play.ws.connection.timeout = 10000ms
