PlayConsole
The Play 2.0 console is a development console based on sbt that allow to manage the complete development cycle of a Play application.
To launche the console, enter any existing application directory and launch the play
script:
$ cd /path/to/any/application
$ play
Use the help
command to get basic help about the available commands:
[My first application] $ help
To run the current application in development mode, use the run
command:
[My first application] $ run
In this mode, the server will be launched with the auto-reload feature enabled, meaning that for each request Play will check your project and recompile required sources. If needed the application will restart automatically.
If there is any compilation error you will see the result of the compilation directly in your browser:
To stop the server, you can press the Crtl+D
key, and you will come back to the Play console prompt.
In Play 2.0 you can also compile your application without running the server. Just use the compile
command:
[My first application] $ compile
Typing console
you can enter the interactive Scala console, allowing to test your code interactively:
[My first application] $ console
