Playframework does not show Form tag : Scala


I am trying to follow play framework tutorial, which can see in 'localhost:9000'.

As it says, I Edited file and compile but it does not show the result that I expected. Follow is what I have done.

  1. make play project in console(command : play new alpha)
  2. then I ran that (move 'alpha' directory and play run)
  3. make an folder named 'models' at /alpha/app/controllers.
  4. Edit Application.scala

    package controllers
    
    import play.api._ 
    import play.api.mvc._ 
    import play.api.data._ 
    import play.api.data.Forms._
    
    import models.Task
    
    object Application extends Controller {
    
      val taskForm = Form("label" -> nonEmptyText)
    
      def index = Action {
        //Ok(views.html.index("Your new application is ready."))
        //Ok("Let's Play!")
        Redirect(routes.Application.tasks)   }
    
      def tasks = Action {
        Ok(views.html.index(Task.all(), taskForm))   }   def newTask = Action { implicit request =>
        taskForm.bindFromRequest.fold(
          errors => BadRequest(views.html.index(Task.all(), errors)),
          label => {
            Task.create(label)
            Redirect(routes.Application.tasks)
          }
        )   
      }   def deleteTask(id: Long) = TODO 
    }
    
  5. make /alpha/controllers/models/Task.scala

    package models
    
    case class Task(id: Long, label: String)
    
    object Task {   
      def all(): List[Task] = Nil   
      def create(label: String) {}   
      def delete(id: Long){} 
    }
    
  6. finally I edited /alpha/conf/routes

    # Routes
    # This file defines all application routes (Higher priority routes first)
    # ~~~~
    
    # Home page
    GET     /                           controllers.Application.index
    
    # Map static resources from the /public folder to the /assets URL path
    GET     /assets/*file               controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)
    
    #Tasks
    GET     /tasks                  controllers.Application.tasks
    POST    /tasks                  controllers.Application.newTask
    POST    /tasks/:id/delete       controllers.Application.deleteTask(id: Long)
    
  7. then I ran. I expected a form area and a button 'create'. Button is fine while Form does not. I got some messages instead of the form. below is that message.

    BaseScalaTemplate(play.api.templates.HtmlFormat$@6435477c) (taskForm("label"))

I can not track this, because it was not an error. Is there any clue to fix this bugs? If you give a solution or clue that would be very appreciated :D

Solution

  • I found the error. It is really disappointed:-( There is an white space between @inputText and parameters.

    It should be :

    @inputText (taskForm("label")) -- change to --> @inputText(taskForm("label"))
    

    Anyway, thanks for help :D
