No Json serializer as JsObject found for type reactivemongo.play.json.JSONSerializationPack.type

I am using play framework 2.5.3 with reactive mongoDB.

import javax.inject._

import model._
import play.api.Logger
import play.api.libs.json._
import play.api.mvc._
import play.modules.reactivemongo._
import reactivemongo.api.ReadPreference
import reactivemongo.play.json._
import reactivemongo.play.json.collection._

import scala.concurrent.{ExecutionContext, Future}


class InsertController @Inject()(val reactiveMongoApi: ReactiveMongoApi)(implicit exec: ExecutionContext) extends Controller with MongoController with ReactiveMongoComponents {

def dataFuture: Future[JSONCollection] = database.map(_.collection[JSONCollection]("data"))

def createFromJson = Action.async(parse.json) { request =>
Json.fromJson[jsonWrapper](request.body) match {
  case JsSuccess(data, _) =>
    for {
      data <- dataFuture
      lastError <- data.insert(data)
    } yield {
      Logger.debug(s"Successfully inserted with LastError: $lastError")
      Ok("Inserted into db")

    }
  case JsError(errors) =>
    Future.successful(BadRequest("Something went wrong"))
}
}

Here is my controller and when compiling i get the following exception:

It recommends writing a Owrites or OFormat for JSONCollection which is part of the reactivemongo.play.json._ package and should already have these defined to my understanding.

Here is my jsonWrapper class:

case class jsonWrapper(tables : tables, userId : String)


object jsonWrapper{
  implicit val jsonRead: Reads[jsonWrapper] = (
    (JsPath \ "tables").read[tables] and
      (JsPath \ "userID").read[String]
    )(jsonWrapper.apply _)

  implicit val jsonWrites: Writes[jsonWrapper] = (
    (JsPath \ "tables").write[tables] and
      (JsPath \ "userID").write[String]
    )(json => (json.tables, json.userId))

  implicit val jsonWrapperFormat : Format[jsonWrapper]  = Json.format[jsonWrapper]

}

The tables class also has implictly defined format, Reads and writes.

I orignally used this example to get started: https://github.com/jonasanso/play-reactive-mongo-db#master, which works but when i try to adapt it to my needs (i.e. with my jsonWrapper class) i get this error and do not understand why it is not working.

Many Thanks,

Solution

I Found my error.

def createFromJson = Action.async(parse.json) { request =>
Json.fromJson[jsonWrapper](request.body) match {
  case JsSuccess(data, _) =>
    for {
      data <- dataFuture
      lastError <- data.insert(data)
    } yield {
      Logger.debug(s"Successfully inserted with LastError: $lastError")
      Ok("Inserted into db")

    }
  case JsError(errors) =>
    Future.successful(BadRequest("Something went wrong"))
}

My case entry initiates an object named "data" which i follow up by overriding with my dataFuture object. Thus, causing the error. I simply had to change the variable names...

I fell kind of silly.
