PlayFramework - FakeRequest to upload file

I am trying to test a controller to upload files. The controller receives a multipartform request.

In the test I am creating a FakeRequest this way

val tempFile = play.api.libs.Files.SingletonTemporaryFileCreator.create("prefix", "txt")

val file = FilePart("upload", "hello.txt", Option("text/plain"), tempFile)

val controller = new LoadController(controllerComponents)

val formData = MultipartFormData(
    dataParts = Map(),
    files = Seq(file),
    badParts = Seq())
val response = controller.upload.apply(FakeRequest(POST, "/upload").
    withHeaders(HeaderNames.CONTENT_TYPE -> "multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------968e587c4173725c").
    withMultipartFormDataBody(formData))

The controller receives the file to upload in the upload key. If I test the controller with curl, postman or another rest client it works, but in the test I am getting always the message [Unexpected end of input] as if the upload key was empty.

Thanks in advance

I faced the same issue and found out that you need to set the dataParts property of MultipartFormData:

val formData = MultipartFormData(
  dataParts = Map("" -> Seq("dummydata")), 
  files =  Seq(file),
  badParts = Seq())

This way I also didn't have to set the content-type/boundary header.
